일제 시기 충북 지역의 주민대회와 학교비 갈등

Abstract

This study combined education and local history perspectives to examine the patterns of residents-convention in the Chungbuk region during the Japanese colonial period due to conflicts over school funds. As of 1935, over 100 public common schools, including simplified public schools, were established in the Chungbuk region. So, it can be said that one school on each myeon was realized. However, the difficulty in enrollment remained, and the expectations of local residents were not met. In the first place, the local people in Chungcheongbuk-do were to convert private schools into public schools, and the state should support school establishment. Unlike the Maeil Shinbo, which viewed the establishment of a school from the perspective of civilization and enlightenment, the Dong-A Ilbo and the Chosun Ilbo strongly demanded that the government-general of Korea increase school finance by reducing unnecessary expenditures and excessive burden on local residents. It expanded to public opinion urging the implementation of compulsory education. The Chungbuk community also started holding residents-convention demanding support for school funds with the voice of the central media. The strength of resistance differed depending on regions, and there were elements of division and conflict among people within regions. Around 1930, cases in Chungju and Yeongdong were fiercely complaining to the administrative authorities. The Chosun Ilbo also embodied this as a composition of ethnic and class conflicts. Looking at the community convention surrounding the establishment and operation of schools, although limited, they expressed publicity within the local community and the legitimacy of the governing power.
