With the 21-st century close at hand, our society has taken a step toward revolution. In the future, there will be an information-oriented society. In that society, we could be put at a disadvantage if we were not capable of using the Internet. The education in Japan is beginning to be reformed in line with the situation. As a matter of fact, the information-oriented educatlon has already started in elementary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools in the country respectively. In that situation, we must make the information-oriented preparations in our college, immediately for that it is able to survive the revolution. Furthermore, the preparations, not only for the infrastructure in the college, but also for the contents of our teaching are indispensable. This paper deals with a personal proposal for the preparations above. At the present situation, the Hybrid LAN that combines Wired LAN with Wireless LAN is an efficient choice with the low cost to the preparations for our infrastructure.

The intent of this paper is to put an emphasis on education in information science. In recent years, education in information processing science at a junior college has greatly been changed due to the improvement of information techniques. Kochi Gakuen College adopted Information Science as a part of liberal arts after 1999. A11 the students of the junior college are capable of acquiring fundamental knowledge and techniques in information processing science. The final goal of Information Science education is to enable the students to develop their capacity in handling a computer. It is not only as training for businesslike use in their research but also as a ready fighting power in society. The aim of the class is two-folds : mastering the basic techniques in operating personal computer and its applications as well as the acquisition of proper knowledge for information. There were some findings after classes. It was clear that we do not have sufficient data on the students with regard to both how far they have learned about information processing science and their needs. With the intention of improving of on-going curriculum in Information Science classes, we asked the students who are taking the course to fill out the questionnaire. The result of the survey shows as follows : (1) Each student has a different background in information processing science. Major differences in the student's knowledge seems to depend greatly on their educational background and their family environment in their previous school days. (2) The students' desire is both to acquire businesslike knowledge and techniques to handle the applications of software and to master general knowledge about the Internet in the classes. (3) Although they regard the course as a license requirement, it will be of great help in their future career. Considering their enthusiasm for the classes, it's necessary for a teacher to devise classes that are easily understandable and give students a sense of achievement. One of the most effective ways to approach an individual student who has different background is an individual guidance by making use of the Internet. Our major issue is at present to find out the best way in Information processing science at the college by means of two way communications such as an E-mail and home page.

養護教諭養成課程における看護学の学習は看護婦養成のそれとはおのずから異なるものがある。高知学園短期大学で関連科目との連携により,実施した看護学の実践報告である。看護技術に関するものは臨床看護実習などとともに看護学IIで学習させ,看護学I,看護学IIIでは看護の本質である「看護の心」の問題を取り上げるようにした。学生に「看護の心」を持たすために,講義ではなく,実際に学生に活動させることを意図した。指定図書を読ませ,そこから問題点を発見させ,さらに参考文献を読み,必要なら新たに調査もさせる.学生自らが体得したものをレポートとして発表する。レポート作成や発表の技術的なことは,看護学以外の科目である,「医療文書」作成や「教育媒体の研究」において学ぶ。このような一連の学習を通じて養護教諭養成を柱とした保健専攻学生としての自覚と,生涯学習への道を踏み出させることである。このような意図のもとに授業を構成し,実施した結果,予想以上の効果をあげることが出来たので,学生の感想を含めて結果を報告した。はじめに社会変化・医療改革の激変の中,コ・メディカルを担う短期大学教育にも変革が求められる。特に看護領域の専門職として,養護教諭を養成する高知学園短期大学の保健専攻では,専門教科の一つである看護学の学習目標にも根本的な変化が求められる。養護教諭養成における看護学の役割を単に救急法の手技取得に終わらせず,看護の本質である心の問題に踏み込まねばならない。いかにすれば看護の精神を豊かに保持した学生を養成できるか。さらに,看護学を必修の保健・医療に関する学問として位置付け,保健専攻の専門教育のコアとするための先導的教育実践を意図した。看護学を3分し,看護の基礎概念の把握,救急法を中心とした手技,最後に保健看護関連の諸問題を学習者自身が,体験,実験,考察することで,まとまりのあるレポートの作成とその発表で完結させる。看護の基礎概念を把握し「看護の心」の養成をめざし,関連図書の通読から,自ら看護について考えさせることに重点をおいた。学生の自発的学習を促す為に座学からの脱却に努めた。以上の観点を効果あらしめるために,関連教科と連携を持ち,総括的教育や生涯教育への橋渡し的役割にもなるように保健・医療に関する知的生産が可能であり,生涯学習の基盤の養成を意図した。レポートの作成とコンピュータを駆使した効果のある成果の発表で完結させる方法を採った。以下は私の教育実践活動から生まれたものであり,教育的意図とその具体的方法,成果の一部を報告する。

I gave an informal examination to 74 students about their knowledge of both Japanese national flag and national anthem. All 74 students belong to the training course for kindergarten teachers. Only 22 students (30%) gave a positive answer. They have learned Japanese national anthem at their elementary and high schools : however, the remainder (52 persons, 70%) reported that they have never learned it at school. A course of study of Japanese schools has requested them to teach Japanese national anthem at school. Moreover, according to the report by the Department of Education and Science Culture of the Japanese government, about 80% elementary schools and 70% high schools raised the Japanese national flag at the graduation service. Only 16 (22%) persons were able to write the text of Japanese national anthem completely. An ancient (in 905) 31-syllable Japanese ode is said to be the origin of the text of the national anthem. The meaning of Japanese national anthem is : "I wish you could live to a long age as if small stones were conglomerated to be big rocks with mosses during geologically long times."The text itself of the national anthem is not so difficult to understand. Obviously, students have not learned the text of the national anthem previously at school. Some school teachers influenced by some political groups would not teach the national anthem and would not pay due respect to the national flag even though it is against the course of study of Japanese schools. The Japanese sun flag is a symbol of the nation, Nihon or Japan. "Ni" means the sun and "Hon" means the origin. The name of Nihon, therefore, means the origin of the rising sun, because Japan locates in Far East, where the sun rises earliest in the world. We could not find any expansionism in the original meaning of Japanese National anthem, the name of nation, Japan, and the national sun flag. However, some political groups including communists desire to make a new flag and a new national anthem. The reason why they want to change the national flag and the national anthem, is : Japan used National sun flag in World War II and the meaning of "Kimi" in the national anthem suggests emperor. According to our Constitution Article 1,the emperor shall be the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people, deriving his position from the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power. Obviously, the meaning of both the Japanese flag and national anthem is not against our constitution. To avoid the unnecessary dispute, the Japanese House of Representatives enacted a law, the national sun flag and the national anthem, on the 22nd of July in 1999.

We report a rare case of extrarenal nephroblastoma in childhood. A 5-years-old boy was admitted with a complaint of vomiting and abdominal mass. He underwent extirpation of an encapsulated tumor located in the right retroperitoneum. But both kidneys were intact. Histopathological examination showed extrarenal nephroblastic-type nephroblastoma. Although extrarenal nephroblastoma is very rare, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumor in children.
