This article intends to analyse the educational problems in the sections of girls at agricultural schools in Ibaraki Prefecture, especially at Ose Agricultural School as a case.
It has been often said that the section of girls at agricultural school would be a school of house-keeping. Most of girls were residents of the school seat and they lived and were engaged in farming there after their graduation. The data obtained from the investigation of girls at Ose Agricultural School showed that the rate of girl students who were born in Ose Village and the rate of girl graduates who settled and engaged in farming in Ose Village were quite high.
It should be noticed, however, that the section of girls at agricultural school was not a school of house-keeping but the substitute for a girls' school.
