Most of discussions of canon are closely adhered to the issue of `value judgement` that is about `what` school teaches? and `how` school teaches?. The reason why this issue is more meaningful in Korean education is that the text `canon` functions as authoritative device which synthesizes each of social members as unified race or uniform people in addition to the simple list of works in textbook. From the viewpoint of the so-called theory of criticizing canon that understands the truce as the list made out to justify the ideology of specific group, the canonicity does not exist as aesthetic completion which absolutely exists like the self-evident fact inside of canon. The canon is the political and ideological structure which is formed in the intimate connection with national education. The author`s intention of investigating literary materials Girls` GoDeungChoSunEoDokBon and ShinPyeonGoDeungChoSunEoGeupHan MunDokBon, which were middles school Korean language textbooks in colonial period, from the angle of `the formation of canon` is also considerably related to an issue of ideological call-over of knowledge. In particular, with the fact that literary materials was called on the National Compilation System, which is institutional device operated by the power of colonial education, from the viewpoint of Korean education history, and it began to be on the list of Korean language textbook, the discussion of Korean language textbook and canon in colonial period has the meaning. From the viewpoint of considering the canon as something privileged with the added value of text by system and power surrounding around text in specific historical situation, it is necessary to call the formation of canon in curriculum after the liberation, and the formation of canon in colonial period together into the field of discussing canon.
