Published in the 26th year of Meiji, 132 years ago. The setting of Rurouni Kenshin is Meiji 11, so I figure it's around that time. It's in surprisingly good condition for something from that era. It's a now-defunct elementary school. I was curious about what was taught in the subject of "Moral Education" there, so I bought it at a used bookstore. When I actually looked through it, I was surprised at how much I could understand what was written. For example, the third image. Heisuke was a child with a good memory, but his arrogant heart arose, he neglected his studies, and eventually failed the exam. Pride leads to loss. And the fourth image. Once upon a time, there was a man named Ono no Tōfū, who, seeing a frog jump onto a willow branch, realized the importance of perseverance, and diligently practiced calligraphy, becoming a famous calligrapher. If you don't give up, anything is possible. That's it. If you'd like, please read the fifth image. You should be able to read it. There are some differences from modern notation, but This book is a textbook used by first graders, and The Japanese used is very basic. Therefore, by comparing multiple pages and making inferences, you can surprisingly read it. Aside from the content, reading about 10 of these textbooks, I think it's interesting that you might be able to master old expressions and kana usage, lol.
