The Japanese Ministry of Education, reflecting upon the present uncertaintyand confusion about the aims and methods of moral education, has enforced theplan according to which a special class for moral instruction is 'to be providedin public schools. In Okinawa, too, the same plan will be carried into effect in1961.Though this plan marks a noteworthy change in the recent Japanese education,we seem to be still theoretically uncertain of the educational effect of havingsuch a course as intended specially for moral education. The purpose of thisstudy is thus to assess the educational significance of the new plan set forth bythe Japanese Ministry of Education, questioning the nature of morality, as wellas how moral ideas and attitudes are to be imparted.First, the writer gives a brief history of the policies that the Ministry ofEducation has taken in connection with moral education since the World ';Var II.He then defends the view that moral education must be the core of schoolingand goes on to discuss how the problems of moral education have been treated,referring to such historicaU leaders in educational thought as Plato, Rousseau,Pestalozzi, and Dewey. Finally, the writer gives some conclusions he has reachedconcerning the proper method of moral instruction and considers, in the light ofhis conclusions, whether it is appropriate to provide a special moral instructionclass in promoting the development of moral education.
