Japan entered into modern era in 1867 and the Meiji Government adopted and promoted drastic modernization policy including the establishment of research and education systems throught the country. In the field of agriculture, which formed the basis for economic development during the period, a number of experimental stations and agricultural schools were founded throughout the country. The government schools mostly aimed at the training of personnel who would contribute to the national development as Government officers. Meantime, there was increasingly severe and urgent need for the training of former "samurai" and thier children to fit in the new era.
