    This study investigated the transition of the contents of elementary school textbooks in homemaking, especially in the foods area. Textbooks have been revised six times since 1961 while the Course of Study has been revised only twice. Materials which have not undergone revision were investigated in order to get a perspective about the transition of these contents. It was reaffirmed that textbooks in homemaking have been very sensitive to the changes of everyday life and the condition of public life. The construction and arrangement of subjects seem to have been discussed fully, and some have been restored to its former style with change capping change. With the increasing number of charts and illustrations, textbooks seem to be changing from textboks to be read to textbooks to be easily understood at sight.

    The Japanese people have a great need for consumer education, especially of food, because they have limited food resources, and their environment and food are polluted remarkably. This research was performed to clarify how consumer education of food in junior high schools plan and practice. The results obtained through a mailed questionnaire to all teachers of homemaking in junior high schools in Chiba Prefecture were as follows : 1. The problem on quality of food such as food additives, food labelling and convenience foods has been taught more actively rather than that of quantity, such as the low level of self-sufficiency of food in Japan. 2. Most teachers are unable to prepare sufficiently for consumer education, because they have a great deal of responsibility for other subjects in addition to homemaking, and are difficult to get materials or correct information on consumer education of food.

    This study was made on junior high school students for their knowledge and experience about an electric washing machine in order to inquire into "washing" lessons as they ought to be in homemaking education. The results of the study were examined by stages of development and by sexes. These results were compared with those of a previous study made on sixth-year school children. The subjects were 90 students who entered the Junior High School Attached to Kyoto University of Education in 1977. The method used was an interview; 14 items of study were set up according to the procedures for washing operation. The electric washing machine used was double sink type which is most widespread among the average households. The results are as follows : 1. The number of girls having experience in using an electric washing machine is greater than that of boys. 2. The percentage of correct answers to all items for the 2nd-year examinees is about 9% higher than that obtained when they were in the 1st year grade. The percentage for the 1st year graders is about 8% higher than that of the 6th-year elementary school children. 3. The boys surpass the girls in the percentage of correct answers in either grades, and this difference decreases as the school year advances. 4. The 2nd year students whose percentages of correct answers are higher than those they got in the 1st year grade make about 55%, while those whose percentages become lower make about 28%.

    Based on the diagram "Opinions on the Present Status by the KJ-Method", we tried to search for the substance of nursing teaching focused on the maternal health. The following results were obtained. 1) We must do away with a tendency to make light of nursing teaching in homemaking education and meet the societal needs. 2) Teachers are urged to study voluntarily for better nursing education in their busy lives. 3) Nursing teaching is a part of life-long education and helps students to build themselves through the study of human development based on the respect for human lives and human rights. 4) Maternal health is important in order to lead a better life, hence we must interest boys and girls to it with appealing contents. 5) As a name suggests its content, "Nursing Teaching" and "Maternal Health" have to be named carefully.
