Description

In the later Meiji era, there were many graduates of Tokyo Koto Kogyo Gakko (including former Tokyo Kogyo Gakko) in Kiryu district, Gunma prefecture and most of the teaching positions of Kiryu Orimono Gakko were occupied by these graduates. A local magazine was published periodically by Kiryusha (an association of teachers of Kiryu Orimono Gakko who were graduates of Tokyo Koto Kogyo Gakko). This magazine contained many articles pertaining to the method of the economic development of Japan or Kiryu district written by the president, teachers and graduates of Tokyo Koto Kogyo Gakko. The president of Tokyo Koto Kogyo Gakko, Seiichi Tejima, was a supporting member of Shuyodan (a representative group of Shuyoshugi) and other authors of the articles in the magazine also believed in the importance of Shuyo (cultivation of mind), especially in the importance of Shuyoshugi education for the factory hands of the Kiryu textile industry, to further the industrialization of Kiryu district. The graduates of Tokyo Koto Kogyo Gakko in Kiryu, who were educated by Seiichi Tejima, spread Shuyoshugi to Kiryu district as the editors and the authors of the local magazine of Shuyoshugi and also as the practitioners of Shuyoshugi education. Thus these graduates played important roles in the development of capitalism in Kiryu district.
