Abstract
This paper deals with the process through which the New Education Schools in the Taisho period constructed the wartime education. The Elementary School Attached to the Nara Women's Higher Normal School was famous as one of the New Education Schools during the Taisho period. This school adopted the "Etude System (Gakushu-ho)" which makes "teaching (kyoju)", "discipline (kunren)" and "hygiene (yogo)" into one system. But it entered into a new phase to prepare for a total war in the 1930's. Takeji Kinoshita, the head of this school, started the study of "Discipline". He seemd "Discipline" as the best method. Also, the teachers enhanced these subjects through teaching morals (Shushin). They tried to connect "Discipline" and their pupils' "life experience". The author focuses on the transformation of the New Education through the analysis about the modality of "Discipline" during the 1930's. From this work, the process that led the New Education Schools to adaptation to the wartime education will be made clear.
