抄録

This paper chiefly treats man and work of Charles Henry Dallas (1841-94) and English studies in Yonezawa in the early years of Meiji era.<BR>The origin of English studies in Yonezawa had already been referred to in my paper “Kohki Watanabe and English Studies in Yonezawa”, which was printed on The Eigakushi-kenkyu (No. 12).<BR>Charles H. Dallas was the first foreign master who was employed in the Yogakusha (a foreign language school) by Yonezawa-ken in 1871. He came over to Japan as a trader and several years later he became an employed master in the Kaiseijo, or Government College, in Tokyo before he came to Yonezawa.<BR>He taught at the Yogakusha for nearly four years (from autumn in 1871 till spring in 1875), while he wrote a primer on English pronunciation, which was translated into Japanese by Kazuichi Yoshio, a language master of the Yogakusha, and published from Shokodo at Kanda, entitled “Eionron”. The apt contrast between the pronunciation of Japanese and that of English is characteristic of that book.<BR>Besides the primer, he wrote two papers, “Notes Collected in the Okitama Ken With an Itenerary of the Road Leading to It” and “The Yonezawa Dialect”, both of which had carefully been prepared during his stay in Yonezawa and were printed on Transactions of the Asiatic Socicty in 1875. The two papers show his personality as well as his great learning and minute observation as an excellent linguist.<BR>In the last chapter of this paper the Yonezawa Eiwa Girls' School is referred to. Looking back upon the History of English Studies in Yonezawa, we see that teaching by missionaries at the Eiwa Girls' School is one of the epoch-making events in the history of education in Yonezawa.
