A statistical-mechanical theory of three-dimensional network system of linear high polymers is developed. The equilibrium state of the network system is described by two conditions : (a) the kinetic unit of each chain corresponds to the canonical ensemble of the constant stress ; (b) the stresses are in equilibrium at each free junction. The theory is applied to the wool-like elasticity, and the results which are consistant with Sakei's theory are obtained.
