Abstract
This study aims to clarify the actual situation of the training to become a secondary school mathematics teacher for a soldier and a sailor before World WarII.
In Japan, two kinds of secondary school teachers training for a soldier and a sailor were done before World War II.
One of the above teachers training was the measure to give an officer, who retired according to the disarmament since 1922, to work as a mathematics teacher. A short course, which was a half year course or 18 months course, was held for the retirement officer between 1924 and 1935 by the Higher Normal Schools, and 149 retirement officers obtained the mathematics teacher license.
And the other was the measure to the disabled soldiers and sailors who entered the Japan-China War and so on. The secondary school teachers training institutes, which were two or three year course, for the above soldiers and sailors were founded at Tokyo and Hiroshima between 1939 and 1948, 67 disabled men obtained the mathematics teacher license. They contributed to the insufficiency of the secondary school teachers which occurred after the end of World War II, however it was little.
