Abstract
The reasons for selecting from 26 ready-made pajamas were asked of the junior high school girls before they went into the study of pajamas. The first, second and third reports are here summarized : 1) Main points of selection are appearance, comfortableness and utility, but the order of these items differs between summer and winter. In summer, comfortableness comes first, followed by appearance, but in winter this order is reversed. 2) In both seasons, appearance comes first of all these three items. 3) Of the details in selection, design, easiness and comfortableness in wearing are matters of great concern. The pullover type is preferred to the front-opened or collared type. 4) There are some differences to be considered such as cloth material and pattern between the actual conditions and the guidelines shown in the Course of Study. The appreciation of the aim of the guidelines is, however, necessary for teaching. 5) It is highly necessary to stimulate students to make good pajamas and correct their marked preference for appearance.
