We intend to make clear the view toward home life of the high school period and to apply it to home making education. Unrestricted responses of university, junior college and high school students were obtained. The content is made up of four sections : Home Life, Allocating Responsibilities in Day to Day Family Life, Why a Life is Worth Living, and About Parents. In this report we shall outline the Home Life section. Concrete, practical examples concerning home life were obtained. Those who have lived through hard lives (such as those with someone ill in the family), concern family life more important than those who have lived a peaceful life.

Following the first report, we tried to research how high school students are alloted domestic responsibilities in their daily life and what their purposes in life are. 1. Allocating responsibilities in daily family life is necessary in recognizing the importance of home life. 2. Approach from parents is the key to children's allotment of responsibilities in daily family life. 3. Answers varied according to how the subjects interpreted the given questions. For instance, some answered less than they were actually alloted, others with less share answered more. 4. On the whole, most of the students find their life purposes outside their home life.

The number of women who wish to continue their jobs after marriage is gradually increasing, but this is difficult to realize as far as the traditional consciousness of labor division such as "husband earns for his family and wife keeps her home" is predominant in the home and society. The results obtained in this investigation were as follows : 1. The opinion that "woman should continue her job after her baby is born" draws high support of the young and unmarried female students. 2. The traditional consciousness of labor division is high for men when compared with those of women by such conditions as age, job, education, married or unmarried. From the facts mentioned above, it was concluded that methods of obtaining the appreciation and co-operation of men must be found in addition to the inprovement of social conditions, in order for women to continue her job after marriage.

This study is the first step to examine the attitude toward homemaking education. Scale was made, measured and general opinion investigated both in quantity and in quality. Twenty representative opinions were selected by Thurston's equal-appearing intervals. As a result, mean value proved to be 5.1, which seemed to be in some degree affirmative. While men's mean value is 5.3, women's is 4.9 a little more favourable than men. As regards the selective ratio, 84% admitted a strong relation between homemaking and daily life. And 73% regarded homemaking education as necessary for both sexes. However, more than 50% paid no attention to its importance, and therefore effort is requested for all concerned.

This study attempted to investigate the subject of Clothing and Textiles as it is presented in higher institutions in the United States. A questionnaire was sent in 1979 to all 108 colleges with Clothing and Textiles Courses, and with more than ten degree-holding graduates. Of the 65 replies, 62 were used for analysis. The analysis revealed a wide variation concerning the names used for Clothing and Textiles, as well as for Home Economics. One-third used Clothing and Textiles as a subject and/or course name, and Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising names show increase in number. Internship programs are cited by 91%, and reveals the stress being made in integrating with the business/industry and public sectors. Curriculum analysis was conducted on 25 colleges out of the 62. These colleges adhered to societal needs, i.e., leaned more toward the vocational than the academic programs. Japan's Home Economics must support arguments for curriculum variations.

Private houses designated as important cultural assets are inherited structural remains. Their value is high in the history of residences. What is called the Japanese style study or drawing room in form is the roots of Japanese private houses and is important in seeing how it has affected home life in its process. Furthermore, as they are scattered over the nation and people are now living in them. As a residence, it is large-sized and intended mainly for inviting guests, but is not being utilized in its fullest extent. It is a big task for the people living in them to keep it well swept and cleaned. It may be due to the fact that families living in them are small in number and are of advanced age. Tour visitors are liable to interfere with the daily life of these people living in these inherited remains.

This paper refers to the actual conditions and teacher's consciousness on the guidance of Housing Education in senior high schools and shows their problems from the guidance point of view. Principal method of the guidance was by simultaneous instruction. Teachers taught "Housing" by looking up reference materials in person without exchanging views and data with other teachers. Teachers in senior high schools required "Housing problems" and "Living environment" as the contents of "Housing". We have to solve the institutional problems, enrich teacher's ability on the guidance of Housing Education and to carefully select its teaching contents.

In order to discuss the contents of guidance which is one of the problems on housing education in senior hish schools, we examined the revised course of study and the new textbooks and drew up a tentative plan for the contents of guidance on housing education in "General Home Economics" through analyses of questionnaires obtained from teachers and students in senior high schools. It was found that the contents of guidance had to lead up to the recognition not only as a home-manager, but as a total living person, and the understanding of the present state of houses including the housing problems and of dwelling environment. The plan consists of three parts : 1) planning of housing life 2) management of housing life 3) living environment and future housing life.

The Revised Course of Study has given the schools more freedom and more diversity in deciding its teaching items in homemaking, because of "boys and girls taking some of each others learning items" (later called "mutual-taking-in) system and the flexible dealing of contents, which are expected to be affected by the teachers' consciousness. The writer made a survey by means of questionnaires from all junior high school homemaking teachers in the prefecture. The results were : 1. 35% are favorable to the "mutual-taking-in" idea in the Course of Study, yet 25% show anxiety about differences developing in the contents. 2. 72% of the schools select one area among the "teqniques" items, mostly food or clothing. 3. Only 12% take up coeducational class system, yet 38% of the teachers have favorable attitudes toward it. 4. The problems at present are : (1) which of those 'mutual partaking' items to teach, (2) how to systematize the teaching contents (especially those of the clothing area), and (3) how to improve the quality of teachers.

As to whether homemaking education, important to realize family welfare, should be given to boys as well as girls in high schools, a survey was made on 1890 women in various fields in Tottori Prefecture. It analyzed opinions in relation to position in family, participation in public life, and views toward division of labor by sex and of children's education. It showed that those women of the opinion that homemaking education should be given to both boys and girls rather than to girls only were more respected and able in the family, more independent economically, and more active in public life.
