The aim of this paper is to make clear the relation between the students consciousness concerning washing and repairing of clothes and those of education. Subjects were 724 students at six junior high schools and five senior high schools in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The results are as follows : 1) The level of study on washing and repairing of clothes at school was higher in the senior high schools than in the junior; higher in the general course than in the special, higher in the segregated than in the co-ed schools. 2) The knowledge about washing and repairing was parallel to the level of study on washing and repairing. 3) The habits of washing and repairing at home were higher in senior high schools than in junior high schools, higher in the special course than in the general, higher in the villages than in the cities, higher in the homes of employed mothers than in the unemployed. 4) The expectation for the study on washing and repairing "by doing" was very high. 5) The knowledge about washing and repairing had little relation to the habits of washing and repairing at home. In washing and repairing education, it is more important to make students obtain good habits of washing and repairing than to give them knowledge only.
