According to the "Course of Study" revised in 1958, homemaking education at junior high schools, combined with technical education, constitutes "Gijutsu - katei ka", which is made up chiefly of industrial arts for boys and living arts for girls. Inasmuch as this course is meant for all pupils irrespectively, it must not be given as a vocational education but as a general one. From this point of view, it must be asserted that the aim of this course is not to train pupils as skilful workers in industries or domestic lives, but to make them understand the meaning of arts or technics through their personal experiences. Some people may think that arts or technics are nothing but the way of realizing some ideas or purposes, but their true meaning is an act of man by which he controls his natural or social environment to adapt it to his existence and living. Such act arises from his will to set up a purpose and realize it and is supported by his rational knowledge concerning it. It is by his creative imagination that the will is connected with the knowledge and is led to the act. We cannot miss the help of his skill to the act. Our education of arts and technics as a general education should, therefore, be entirely based on the principle mentioned above, with due consideration taken of the interests and abilities of the pupils concerned.
