Fukuzawa Yukichi, Niijima Jo and Mori Arinori represent the different positions of prominent educators who were instrumental in introducing Western education to early Meiji Japan. They represent the utilitarian, Christian and government approach to education respectively. The central questions of the dissertation are to discover how the men incorporated Western educational philosophy into Japanese society and, secondly, how they exemplified the freedom to choose internal values as the responsibility of the individual rather than the responsibility of the society or the government. Their thoughts on education are enunciated through the role of the intellectual, social equality and individual freedom. If, as assumed in the study, the focal point of loyalty under the Tokugawa was the political superior, then, the abolition of feudalism necessitated a redefinition of the concept of loyalty in relation to a new focal point. The suggestion is made that Fukuzawa, Niijima and Mori defined loyalty in terms of internal values which they regarded as private or personal values; whereas in the nationalism which later developed in Japan, the definition of internal values became the responsibility of government. In other words, Loyalty for the three men was more of a moral responsibility of independent and free citizens; in nationalism loyalty became a duty of obedient subjects. An overview of 19th century Japanese education is presented in Chapter II and includes the aims and purposes of Tokugawa education, the changes resulting from importation of Western educational philosophies after the restoration and the controversy which led to the inclusion of Confucian morals in the education system (Imperial Rescript on Education, 1890). The educational philosophies of Fukuzawa, Niijima and Mori are reviewed in Chapter III. Special emphasis is directed to their concepts of individual freedom and independence and to the role of the intellectual in the changing social environment. Although there was much dissension among the political, educational and social reformers of the early Mieji period, all claimed to have the welfare of the national uppermost in mind. How the patriotic thought of the three representative Japanese educators influenced education is the subject of Chapter IV. The result of educational and social changes are discussed in Chapter V.

"Soon after overthrowing the Tokugawa government in 1868, the new Meiji leaders devised ambitious plans to build a modern nation-state. Among the earliest and most radical of the Meiji reforms was a plan for a centralized, compulsory educational system modeled after those in Europe and America. Meiji leaders hoped that schools would curb mounting social disorder and mobilize the Japanese people against the threat of Western imperialism. The sweeping tone of this revolutionary plan obscured the fact that the Japanese were already quite literate and had clear ideas about what a school should be. In the century preceding the Meiji restoration, commoners throughout Japan had established 50,000 schools with almost no guidance or support from the government. Consequently, the Ministry of Education’s new code of 1872 met with resistance, as local officials, teachers, and citizens sought compromises and pursued alternative educational visions. Their efforts ultimately led to the growth and consolidation of a new educational system, one with the imprint of local demands and expectations. This book traces the unfolding of this process in Nagano prefecture and explores how local people negotiated the formation of the new order in their own communities. "

Scholars of modern Japan agree that education played a crucial role in that country's rapid modernization during the Meiji period (1868-1912). With few exceptions, however, Western approaches to the subject treat education as an instrument of change controlled by the Meiji political and intellectual elite. Principle, Praxis, and the Politics of Educational Reform in Meiji Japan offers a corrective to this view. By introducing primary source materials (including teaching manuals, educational periodicals, and primary school textbooks) missing from most English-language works, Mark Lincicome examines an early case of resistance to government control that developed within the community of professional educators. He focuses on what began, in 1872, as an attempt by the newly established Ministry of Education to train a corps of professional teachers that could "civilize and enlighten" the masses in compulsory primary schools. Through the Tokyo Normal School and other new teacher training schools sponsored by the government, the ministry began what it thought was a straightforward "technology transfer" of the latest teaching methods and materials from the United States and Europe. Little did the ministry realize that it was planting the seeds of broader reform that would challenge not only its underlying doctrine of education, but its very authority over education. The reform movement centered around efforts to explicate and disseminate the doctrine of kaihatsushugi (developmental education). Hailed as a modern, scientific approach to child education, it rejected rote memorization and passive learning, elements of the so-called method of "pouring in" (chunyu) knowledge practiced during thepreceding Tokugawa period, and sought instead to cultivate the unique, innate abilities of each child. Orthodox ideas of "education", "knowledge", and the process by which children learn were challenged. The position and responsibilities of the teacher were enhanced, consequently providing educators with a claim to professional authority and autonomy - at a time when the Meiji state was attempting to control every facet of the Japanese school system. Principle, Praxis, and the Politics of Educational Reform in Meiji Japan analyzes a key element to understanding Meiji development and modern Japan as a whole.

A study of Japan's traditional Confucian schools, this book contributes to an understanding of education in the Meiji period and is of relevance to the reform of Japan's public education system. The establishment of a national education system soon after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 is recognized as a significant factor in Japan's modernization."

The History of Modern Japanese Education is the first account in English of the construction of a national school system in Japan, as outlined in the 1872 document, the Gakusei. Divided into three parts tracing decades of change, the book begins by exploring the feudal background for the Gakusei during the Tokugawa era which produced the initial leaders of modern Japan. Next, Benjamin Duke traces the Ministry of Education's investigations of the 1870s to determine the best western model for Japan, including the decision to adopt American teaching methods. He then goes on to cover the eventual "reverse course" sparked by the Imperial Household protest that the western model overshadowed cherished Japanese traditions. Ultimately, the 1890 Imperial Rescript on Education integrated Confucian teachings of loyalty and filial piety with Imperial ideology, laying the moral basis for a western-style academic curriculum in the nation's schools.
