HISTORY OF ROLE OF THE OKAYAMA ORPHANAGE IN MODERN JAPAN

冈山孤儿院被认为是日本近代史上最伟大的福利项目之一。通过这一立场，本研究利用现存的参考资料，保存在石井纪念朋友和慈善协会。结果，通过个人记录一共找到了2238个孩子的名字。通过这些数据，统计分析了：(1)该机构的数量变化，(2)不同的出生地，(3)在该机构的停留时间。然后，通过对这些结果的分析，明确了这种对孤儿的照顾具有建立成熟的育儿态度的效果。此外，这个项目之所以成为可能，是因为有管理良好的财政支持。既没有政府也没有地方财政支持。因此，所有这些都成为了自我财务管理的可能。主要的资金来源是通过音乐电影乐队募集捐款。以下是对该活动的简要描述。这项活动从1897年到1911年一直在使用。这支乐队不时前往日本的许多地方，并前往中国、台湾、韩国、夏威夷和美国收集捐款。（然而，乐队并没有去夏威夷和美国。）本研究明确了乐队活动的时间、地点和贡献内容，并将其划分为六个时期。

Through this position this study was proceeded by using existing references which were kept in Ishii Memorial Friend and Charity Association. As a result, a total of 2238 children's names were found by personal records.

As a result, all were made possible self financial management. The main financial resource came from collecting donations through a musical movie band. The following is a brief description of this activity. This activity was utilized from 1897 through 1911.
