The purpose of this study is to analyse and examine the functions and features of secondary school teacher meetings under the Showa wartime regime. The teacher meeting records of Hyogo Prefectural Daiichi Kobe Secondary School, Osaka Prefectural Kitano Secondary School and Kochi Prefectural Kochi Joto Secondary School were used as our materials. As an analysis method, we assumed that teacher meetings have four functions, which are "Communication", "Management participation (discussion)", "Liaison and coordination" and "Research and training"; and we sorted each agenda of the teachers' meetings according to these functions. We then analysed the functions of the teacher meetings and examined the actual situation. As a result of our analysis, we found that there are common agendas, such as "Liaison and coordination", "Communication" and "Management participation (discussion)" in the teacher meetings of the three schools. In comparison with previous studies which indicated that teacher meetings in the Showa wartime regime were a command hierarchy, it should be noted that the function of "Management participation (discussion)" was observed in this study. When we generally take a look from the perspective of the government with regard to the execution of regulations and policies, it is natural that we can see the side view of school management by command hierarchy. On the other hand, generally speaking, there is a field of "discretion" in the execution of the regulations and policies. We can assume that an on-site execution was performed by such "discretion" in the field. It is conceivable that the function of "Management participation (discussion)" of teachers' meetings mentioned in this paper was working in the area of such discretion.
