Abstract
L. L. Janes (1838-1909), one of the greatest foreign employees in the early years of Meiji, stayed in Japan twice. His first stay as the teacher at the Kumamoto Yogakko (Kumamoto School for Western Learning) is well known for his miraculous success both as the teacher of Western learning and as the founding father of “the Kumamoto Band”. But his second stay as a teacher at schools in Kyoto and Kagoshima has not been investigated as well for various reasons.In 1977 many longed-for manuscripts of Janes written in his later years were made public at the Firestone Library of Princeton University. In addition, I could recently look over the documents of the personnel sections of the Daisan Koto Chu Gakko (the Third Higher Middle School) and the Daisan Koto Gakko (the Third High School) where Janes was employed in Kyoto. In this paper I try to do research as to how Janes worked there, how influential he was through his work, and how his stay in Kyoto affected himself, making use of these materials.
