This study has been worked for the purpose of elucidating the formation process, the basical structure and character of the elementary school curriculum in Taishou Era which has the character of a period of transition in modern history of Japan.
The method used in this study depends on the viewpoint and the model which are described in the paper of J. W. Meyer and R. Rubinson, 「Education and political Development」: the modern education has the function to form the citizen and to justify the political structure of the modern civil society.
In Taishou Era, it was possible to interchange with powerful countries and the law of common electron has made. Therefore, the culture of the West had greatly influenced many areas, not to speak of the education. With the elementary school curriculum, the inclination to form the modern citizen had been emphasized and the rights and the duties of the citizens had been taught clearly. In this era, however, the viewpoint to justify the political structure of the country of monarchism had been emphasized more mightily than in Meiji Era.
In Taishou Era, 「the view of the family-like country」 to consider the whole country as a family which centered around the rogal family had been introduced into the education.
