我在書店里,看到標名“新民主主義教育教程”一書(常春元先生著,上海雜誌公司出版),感到現在有這樣一本書出版,真是很可驚異的事情。買回来一看,覺得這本書介紹老解放區教育,固有可取的地方,但整個說起來,寫得未免過於大膽而草率。首先我們要指出這本書大胆草率的地方,不只表現在它的標名上,尤其表現在它的第三章“中小學校的實施方針、行政組織與領導”這一節裏(該書二三四頁至二六○頁)。最近中央人民政府教育部召開的全國中等教育會議,對於中學的方針、行政組織、和領導等,剛作了一些全國性的暂行规定,還未公佈。全國初等教育會議還未召開。對於這樣重大問題,作者究竟根據什麽寫的呢?仔細看起來,這一節好像根據“華北區普通中學暫行實施辦法草案”,和“華北區小學教育暂行實施辦法”寫的,但又有許多竄改,而竄改得又很不恰當。例如“華北區普通中學暫行實施辦法草案”规定:“中學教育:其任務是…培養具有中等文化水平及基本科學知識的青年…”;而該書把這句話改爲“在於培養學生具有中等文化水平的基本科學知識。”原辦法中所指的中等文化水平,不只是基本科學知識,還包括語文藝術等等,該書竟把這內容竄改錯了。比起華北區中小學暂行實施辦法中的規定,該書又在學校中隨便增加一些會議,随便规定會議的内容和學校工作人員的职責。這一节内其他還有不少竄改或增添不當的地方,我們不必一一舉例了。又如該書一六三頁談到新學制的特點時說:“各級學校都有獨立之目的,下一級學校不是爲上一級學校預備學生,而上一級學校反要從下一級學校的基礎上提高。”這種說法也是很不對的。一九四八年秋發表的“華北區普通中學暫行實施辦法草案”,就已現定“使學生畢業後經過一定的專業訓練參加工 In the bookstore, I saw the book titled “New Democracy Education Guide” (Mr. Chang Chun-yuan, published by Shanghai magazine), and I feel that it is amazing to have such a book now published. To buy it back and see it, I think this book introduces the education in the Old Liberated Areas as an inherent desirable place, but the whole thing is too bold and sloppy to write. First of all, we should point out that this book is a bold and hasty place not only in its name, but especially in the third chapter of its guideline on the implementation of primary and secondary schools, administrative organization and leadership To 260 pages). Recently, the National Conference on Secondary Education held by the Ministry of Education of the Central People’s Government has just made some nationwide interim rules on the guidelines, administrative organizations and leadership of secondary schools and has not yet announced it. The National Conference on Primary Education has not yet been convened. It seems that this section was written on the basis of “Draft Measures for the Interim Implementation of Ordinary High Schools in North China” and “Provisional Measures for the Implementation of Primary Education in North China”, but there are many tampering , And tampering is very inappropriate. For example, the Draft Measures for the Interim Implementation of Ordinary High Schools in North China stipulates: “Secondary education: its task is ... to train young people with a medium level of literacy and basic scientific knowledge ...”; and the book changed the phrase “to cultivate students with medium Cultural level of basic scientific knowledge. ”The original approach refers to the medium level of education, not only basic scientific knowledge, but also includes Chinese arts and so on, the book actually put this content was wrong. Compared with the provisions of the Provisional Measures for the Implementation of North and Central Primary and Secondary Schools, this book adds a few more meetings to schools at random, setting the content of meetings and the responsibilities of school staff. There are many other tweaks or improper places in this section, and we do not need to give an example. And when the book on page 163 refers to the characteristics of the new school system, he said: “All levels of schools have the purpose of independence. The next level of school is not for students of the upper level, but the upper level of the school is based on the basis of the next level. On the increase. ”This argument is also very wrong. In the autumn of 1948, the Draft Measures for the Interim Implementation of Ordinary High Schools in North China was already scheduled to enable students to participate in the work through certain specialized training after graduation
