The purpose of this paper is to examine the establishment and development of urban social education under the movement for greater city system (Tokubetsushi-sei), focusing on the work of popular education in the Association of Education in Kyoto City from the 1900's to 1920's. The movement for greater city system may be defined as a campaign of metropolitan governments to expand the rights of self-government. There is fairly general agreement that it is the only and precious movement to change centralization system of metropolitan administration in modern Japan. In the historical studies on social education, a great deal of effort has been made on the farmers' enlightenment, which had played a key role in the national policies on rural reform to control local governments. By contrast, little attention has been given to the simultaneous development of social education in the metropolitan governments. Therefore, this paper tries to form the history of urban social education, taking the case of Kyoto City to which the system of metropolitan administration had been applied from the beginning as well as the cities of Tokyo and Osaka. Reflection on some of these historical facts makes clear that we need another perspective to explain the characteristics of urban social education. In considering this subject next three issues are to be discussed. Firstly, the Association of Education in Kyoto City was newly founded in 1902 after the repeal of exemption law in city system. It had a sense of rivalry with the Association of Education in Kyoto Prefecture that had already founded in 1881. Secondly, both of these associations had doubly carried on similar works of popular education in the district of Kyoto City. Finally, these associations consolidated to abolish the double payment of membership fees in the district of Kyoto City. However, they separated again later because they couldn't avoid the crush of interests, which arose from the different social, political and economical environments. It is concluded that the urban social education in Kyoto city had reflected the vertical and opposing relation with that in Kyoto Prefecture, which resulted from the limits of national system of metropolitan administration. Observation of this study would afford another perspective to the historical studies on social education that have thrown lights on the control of central government over local governments.
