100早稲田教育評論 第 36 巻第１号8. Delegerma and XGNHSof housework that a housewife should do. The mother’s precepts they recited stressed on the following: teach through practical action; respect your parents when you get married; husbands believe in their wives, so it is important for wives to be obedient to their husbands’ hearts; and children are a treasure given from heaven, so teach them well and let them learn well. The Mongolian version of a good woman was the one who serves her parents, obeys her husband, and educates her children well. These women were expected to become good wives and wise mothers in the future, which is probably why they were encouraged to recite Mother’s Precepts.The reporter who wrote the article also expressed the hope that these women, who had been educated to be good wives and wise mothers, would pass on the spirit of friendship between Japan and Mongolia to their future families. However, according to Sobud, the female students went on strike in protest against domestic work in the name of domestic training as mentioned above. So what was the actual situation? Did the female students simply follow their Japanese teachers obediently? Did they become good wives and wise mothers that the Japanese wanted them to be? I would like to look at the progress of female student who was graduated from XGNHS. Delegerma was born into a family in Horqin Left-Wing Rear Banner, Jelim. After studying at a private school for two years as a child, she came to Wangyemiao and studied at Wangyemiao No. 3 Elementary School. At that time, she used to admire the female students of the Xing’an Vocational Girls School, who wore navy blue uniforms. She herself entered the school in 1938 （Delegerma, 2005）.For Delegerma, there are many memories of her three years of study at the Xing’an Vocational Girls School. Sharing her memory of the Japanese language week, Delegerma said that the students were only allowed to speak Japanese and were fined if they spoke in Chinese or Mongolian. There were boxes in the classrooms and dormitories, and every time a student spoke Han or Mongolian, she had to put copper coins in the boxes. The students were not happy about this and thought it was making them pariahs. What Delegerma disliked the most was that she had to join her hands and say a prayer of thanks to the Japanese emperor during every meal, known as “Itadakimasu.” The teachers also regularly took the students to shrine to pay their respects. Under Japanese occupation, it was compulsory for all people, whether Japanese, Chinese, or Koreans, to show their loyalty to the emperor. People were required to visit shrines and worship the deities （such as Emperor Meiji or Amaterasu）. Once, out of curiosity as to what was inside the shrine, Delegerma went alone one Sunday to the North Mountain of Wangyemiao and boldly entered the main shrine （Wangyemiao Shrine）, making sure that no one was around. However, there was only a plow-like iron implement inside the shrine, and nothing else.She immediately came out, only to see the Japanese who was in charge of the shrine getting panicked. She tactfully took out a copper coin and pretended to look for the money box. The Japanese called her an idiot. However, she showed him the coin in her hand and explained that she was trying to
