Obituaries JACKSON BAILEY 1925-1996
Obituaries JACKSON BAILEY 1925-1996 Jackson H. Bailey, nationally noted expert in Japanese history, culture, and Japanese- American relations, died August 2 in Brattleboro, Vermont. He was 70 years old. Jackson Bailey was a professor of history at Earlham College from 1959 until his retirement in June 1994. He and his wife, Caroline, had moved to Vermont later that year. Born in Portland, Maine, he attended Earlham, graduating in 1950. After earning a Ph.D. at Harvard University in Asian history and languages, he returned to Earlham in 1959, as a member of the history department faculty. He was a fluent speaker of Japanese and studied at several leading Japanese universities, including the University of Tokyo and the University of Kyoto. Among his foremost accomplishments, he founded the Institute for Education on Japan. Based at Earlham, the Institute offers an academic program for majoring in Japanese Studies. Jackson Bailey also created the Assistant English Teaching Program, which over the past 20 years has sent some 170 young college graduates to northeastern Japan to teach English to Japanese junior high school students. Jackson Bailey wrote and edited many articles and books on Japan and the Japanese; among the latter are Listening to Japan (1973) and Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives (1991). He also produced several documentaries on Japan for PBS television, notably the nationally viewed Japan: The Living Tradition and Japan:. The Changing Tradition. In 1988 the Japanese government awarded Jackson Bailey the Order of the Sacred Treasure, the nation's highest honor given to a non-Japanese, in recognition of his contributions to increasing understanding between Japan and the United States. -
University Micrdrilms International 300 N, ZEEB RD., ANN ARBOR, Ml 48106 Rodrigo, Arambawattage D
INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -
The Case of Weaving Districts in the Meiji Japan1 Tomok
On the Historical Process of the Institutionalizing Technical Education: The Case of Weaving Districts in the Meiji Japan1 Tomoko Hashino2 <Abstract> This paper explores the process of the institutionalizing technical education in modern Japan. In particular, this research attempts to elucidate why people in local weaving districts needed such educational institutions and how it is related with the introduction of western technology. This process is found to be much different from the government-led introduction of modern industries through establishment of technical high schools and universities to nurture engineers. In the case of traditional Japanese weaving districts, it was trade associations that voluntarily and actively established institutes for training, which were later supported by prefectural governments and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and finally institutionalized as public technical schools by the Ministry of Education. 1 The author is grateful Mataji Umemura and Hoshimi Uchida for fulfilling discussions in the early stages of this research. A previous version of this research benefited from a lot of comments of participants at the Kinki-Section of Socio-Economic Society, the national conference of Socio-Economic History Society and in a seminar at the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies, Bank of Japan. She also appreciates the valuable comments and suggestions by Keijiro Otsuka in the process of revising this paper.
