Kotani was mainly responsible for teaching and learning, while Domoto taught mathematics, music, and Japanese. Mongolian language was taught by Tasshab and Wang Guifo taught Chinese language. All subjects other than Mongolian and Chinese were taught in Japanese.Kimiko Yamane graduated from Kyoto Prefectural Women’s Vocational School （equivalent to an institution of higher learning） in March 1939, and was recruited by the Manchukuo State as a teacher, even while not knowing any Mongolian （Yamane, personal communications）. Yamane was in charge of dancing and housework. According to Yamane, in about three months, students were able to communicate with each other, and in two years, they acquired the academic ability to graduate from a high school, and went to study in various parts of Japan （Toyama, Yamanashi, and others）. In addition, several Mongolian female students went to Japan to study at teachers’ schools, such as Nagaoka Women’s Normal School, Fukushima Women’s Normal School, and Matsumoto Women’s Normal School （Yamane, personal communications）. The following year, Yamane left the school and moved to a Japanese women’s school in Fushun （Fushun High School for Women）, where she continued to correspond with her Mongolian students. The letters she wrote to them are still in Yamane’s possession, and it is amazing to see how well the Mongolian girls wrote their letters in Japanese.In April 1941, the Xing’an Vocational Girls School was reorganized as the Xing’an Girls National High School （XGNHS）. The school aimed to “impart knowledge and skills necessary for girls, cultivate work habits, and foster good wives and mothers” （Article 1, Girls National High School Order）.

An entrance examination led to the recruitment of 41 students, resulting in a total of 96 students across three grades. XGNHS was the first women’s national high school to be established in Xing’an South Province. The school played an important role as an educational institution for training the middle class Mongolian female youth.The principal of the school was a Japanese named Hideo Kuroyanagi, who understood the Mongolian language. The teaching staff numbered 24, including six Mongolian, four Han Chinese, and eleven Japanese teachers, and three staff members. The curriculum included subjects such as national morality, Mongolian, Japanese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, physiology and hygiene, geography, history, physical education, music, housework （cooking and sewing）, labor service, and etiquette, and comprised teaching materials prescribed by the state.The reorganization of the school, however, did not lead to improvement in the teaching facilities. Teachers had only one book, a blackboard, and chalk when teaching. Physics and chemistry were taught by drawing diagrams on the blackboard, and language and literature were taught using textbooks. For housework, cooking and sewing were taught. A girls’ volleyball team and a drum and fife team were organized under the guidance of the music and physical education teachers. The students also
