Peace education in early childhood 
-its structure, present condition and tasks-

Toshihiko Fujii

The aim of this article is to clarify the meaning and role of peace education in early childhood. To attain this aim the historical background and present condition must be made clear.
The history of mankind has been a history of wars. Therefore peace education itself has been neglected in the main stream of the history of education. However the onset of the nuclear age opened the door to peace education on a global scale.The experiences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the starting points of peace education in the new era . It was guite natural that the succession of atomic bomb experiences to the younger generation and to all people in the world should become the main stream of peace movement and peace education movement. 
From this standpoint , an attempt has been made to clarify the curriculum principle for peace education. Here,the curriculum content is devided into two kinds of peace education : direct peace education and indirect peace education. The content of peace education depends upon the definition of peace(ex.negative peace or positive peace) .Generally speaking, in order to develop peace education in ear]y childhood , the cognitive structure of infants must be studied more scientifically, This is one of the most important tasks for the future. 

Key Words : Hiroshima . Peace education in early childhood. Indirect peace education. Direct peace education. Cognitive structure of infants. Positive peace. Negative peace.

Art Education Movement in Taisho Era and Early Childhood Education 
Through Kurahashi's Viewpoint

Masako Tanaka

With the Taisho Democracy era of the early 1900s, the Art Education Movement gained force. Affected by Art Education, Kodomo no Kuni (Children's Land) , a picture magazine for young children, was started. The chief editor was Sozo Kurahashi . The author's theory is that Kurahashi's viewpoints were relevant in the movement to establish early childhood education. Two conclusions were found : (1) Kurahashi appreciated the movement and approved its educative value. (2) On the other hand, he took a critical attitude toward the tendency to a sentiment-centered focus in the movement . 

Key Words : art education movement . Sozo Kurahashi. Kodomo no kuni .

The Development and Evaluation of the Junior College Teacher Education Program :
focus on the Pre-Service Level.

Tomoe Shiga

A close look at Japan's pre-school education programs reveals that the majority of the pre-school teachers are graduates of junior colleges. The writer has analyzed the problems resultant from this situation and developed a means to address them by instituting "The Program to Promote the Understand of Young Children." This approach focuses on the key elements necessary to understand young children through the establishment of a five year program entitled "The Two Year Junior College Pre-Service/Three Year In-Service Training Program" which allows for an adequate development of skills necessary for good kindergarten teaching.
This program utilizes techniques such as simulation execises, role playing and audio-Video presentations. Through the utilization of this integrated curriculum the pre-school teacher is able to both understand young children and adopt appropriate teaching techniques to meet their special needs. 

Key Words : teacher education. understanding children. simulation. pre-service training. in-service training.

Pulmonary Function and Motor Ability in Infants

Akiko Harada

As a result of both the natural and man-made changes occuring to the environment, the physical and mental development of infants have gradually become aberrant . It is important to assess these developments in order to recommend remedial procedures to alleviate the negative effects of such changes. These developments can be assessed by numerical value through the use of fitness and strength tests . The motor ability test has a correlation with the results of a pulmonary function test. When correlated, the results of the pulmonary function test are, in fact, more acutely observable. This demonstrates a correlation between infant motor ability and maximum respiratory capacity. The motor ability test also corresponds to the change shown in the one second V .C. ratio. Furthermore, the D group infants showed low motor ability.

Key Words : Pulmonary Function. Maximum Respiratory Capacity. One Second V . C . Ratio. Motor Ability. Infants.

Factors underlying the development of young children's points of view 
-With emphasis on siblings and the style of child-rearing -

Hajime Sugawara

This study is concerned with factors underlying the development of young children's "points of view . " In this paper, "points of view" refers not to perception of objects but persons. Piaget used the word "reciprocity" to describe the stage at which young children begin to do things in consideration of others' will. This study is based on consideration of this point of view. Data were obtained on the number of siblings and the style of child-rearing. As a result, it is found that children who have siblings exhibit a greaten tendency toward reciprocity than only children. In addition, having parents point out the will or feelings of others encourages the tendency toward
reciprocity . 

Key Words : point of view. reciprocity.
