 The goals of Kanō's educational philosophies and methods (indeed, the goals of most Japanese educational programs of the early 20th century) were to 1 ) develop minds, bodies, and spirits in equal proportion, 2 ) increase patriotism and loyalty, especially to the Emperor, 3 ) teach public morality, and 4 ) increase physical strength and stamina, especially for the purpose of making young men more fit for military service.
