人民教育出版社新编的高级中学中国历史教科书第一册(从原始社会到隋统一中国),已经出版。它将于本年度在全国高级中学的历史教学中推行。我认为,编者的工作是新的,教者的工作也是新的,新事物总是在开头的时候有些困难的。然而,新鲜的问题对我们说来却考验我们创造性的活动。从本书编辑工作方面讲来,编者的工作性质虽然是一种创试,但是他们的严肃而谨慎的创试工作,已经表现出不少的成绩,概举之有 People’s Education Press newly compiled high school Chinese history textbook first volume (from primitive society to the unified Sui Dynasty China), has been published. It will be implemented in the history teaching of the nation’s high schools this year. I think the editor’s job is new, the teacher’s job is new, and new things are always somewhat difficult at the beginning. However, fresh questions are for us to test our creative activity. In terms of the editorial work of this book, although the nature of the editors’ work is a kind of innovation, their serious and prudent pioneering work has shown a lot of achievements.
