Thesis (Ed.D.)--Columbia University Teachers College, 1990.

This study explores the significance of the work of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Japan from 1879 to 1920. The emphasis is on Kwassui Jo-Gakko, a school for girls in Nagasaki, and the educational and evangelical work of it's founders Elizabeth Russell and Jennie Gheer. The case study of Kwassui Jo-Gakko provides a place to begin exploration into the history of the development of education for girls in Japan. The specific setting in Nagasaki, and the individual personalities of the school's founders form the narrative historical base from which to examine broad issues of the interactions of the different religions and cultural values present in the U.S. missionary women and Japanese women. The structure of the dissertation is: (1) background and historical context to the mission work, (2) history of the WFMS work in Japan, (3) the history of Kwassui Jo-Gakko as a case study. The dissertation is narrative and uses accounts written by the missionary women about their work, to determine their perceptions of their own work.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study explores the significance of the work of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Japan from 1879 to 1920. The emphasis is on Kwassui Jo-Gakko, a school for girls in Nagasaki, and the educational and evangelical work of it's founders Elizabeth Russell and Jennie Gheer. The case study of Kwassui Jo-Gakko provides a place to begin exploration into the history of the development of education for girls in Japan.

520 $a The thesis is that these missionary women were engaged in valorous ventures or daring enterprises. They were courageous and entered into difficult work. They believed, like Elizabeth Russell, in equality of education for girls and boys. This was a radical idea in Japan, because there was no universal primary education. Second, these women were nineteenth century women who brought with them American and Christian values of the day. They were ethnocentric, but crossed over many cultural bridges to become increasingly sensitive to the Japanese. Third, these missionaries were pioneers in their educational work. They contributed to the emerging educational system for girls. Fourth, the missionaries were holistic. They defined evangelism broadly enough to include social welfare projects which met community needs. Lastly, the missionaries could not separate education from religion. They believed that all good education is religious by its nature. The ultimate goal of this study is that it contributes a piece to the development of the narrative of the American Protestant missionary enterprise of the nineteenth century.
