Our purpose was to see what kind of problems exit with teachers in charge of homemaking courses in primary, junior high and senior high schools. This paper is to report the result of our investigation. The actual condition of teachers can be taken as an indicator of the quality of education. The number of years as a teacher and her qualification (indicated by certificates, alma mater, and major at college) are the basic factors that form her mentality and consciousness as a teacher. It is found that teachers in primary schools do not have adequate qualification as the junior high and senior high school teachers have.

Our interest was to uncover likely problems with homemaking courses in primary, junior high and senior high schools through investigation of teachers' viewpoints on homemaking education. A teacher's moral is apt to be influenced by the environment of her job site, although she may change it. Hence our investigation was concerned with the question whether teachers work with enthusiasm appropriate to professional educators. It revealed that teachers in charge of homemaking courses lacked in such enthusiasm. Many teachers in charge of homemaking think that they are not suited for their job. Few teachers in the elementary school feel the difficulty in the education, but more teachers in the junior high school feel that. A teacher's low enthusiasm toward her job may affect the education of pupils.

The present study aims at a proper understanding on the part of teachers in homemaking education on the actual situation of the "mutual extension" system. Information was obtained by a questionnaire sent out to teachers engaged in technical and homemaking education at the public junior high schools in Wakayama Prefecture. The results are as follows : The gap between the teachers' opinions and the actual situation of the "mutual extension" system can be ascribed to a large extent to the restrictions laid down on teachers carrying an actual teaching load and restrictions inherent in the "mutual extension" system itself. Although the actual situation is not exactly what is required in the promotion of the coeducation system, the above practice seemed to arouse confidence in and intention of a more fully systematized coeducation system.

The results are as follows : 1. There are differences among teachers of such attributes as age, number of school hours, experiences and licences entitling them to teach specified subjects, which has resulted in the variety of views toward the "mutual extension" system. 2. The comparison has proved that teachers in homemaking education are more positive than those in technical education in their intension of expanding the "mutual extension" system and supporting coeducation.

Investigations are made on how the new course of study for the Industrial and Home Arts takes effect, and on how the teachers adapt them to their classrooms. Further examinations are made on the problems on homemaking education in junior high schools. Questionnaires were sent to teachers of homemaking in junior high schools in Kochi prefecture. Thirty-eight percent of the teachers who are in charge of homemaking do not have the license to teach homemaking. It is questionable that the technical teachers teach the homemaking series because they lack the professionality and the teaching time is short. Therefore, it is required to appoint teachers who have the proper licenses of the subjects to teach. The contents studied by the female students decrease in the field of machinery and they are biased to the fields of clothing and foods in the series of homemaking, perhaps due to shortened time for study.
