On this day, Principal Zhang called Meng Chang and asked Meng Chang to come to the school to discuss the situation of recruiting students. Meng Chang did not ride a horse this time. Let the big-eyed Li Xinyu be frightened, and drove a car over.

When they arrived at the conference room, the teachers had arrived, and the main seat of the conference table was reserved for Meng Chang, who was not polite at first glance and sat on the main seat. Zhang Mingjiu began to introduce the situation.

"Mr. Meng Chang, now we have discussed and are ready to accept students, according to the actual situation on your side, we are ready to recruit seventeen classes, each class has sixty students, and each teacher has to be the head teacher of one class in addition to his own teaching tasks. That's a total of 1,000 and 20 students. ”

"Principal Zhang, don't call Mr. Mr., well, the number of schools and teachers will increase in the future, and I will coordinate the relationship between various schools, and I myself will hold a position in the school, so I will be the honorary principal, so that the problem will be dealt with faster." Meng Chang has long had a plan to serve in the school, but it has been difficult to put it forward, now is the era of war, people are excited, and they don't want to set up any party to engage in politics, or it is good to be a principal, at this time the students respect the teacher, said that the heaven and earth are the teacher, the master and the apprentice are like father and son, it is very vivid to explain the relationship between the teacher and the student.

"That's okay, principal, then we'll call you that" After all, Principal Zhang was more than twenty years older than Meng Chang, and Mr. Zhang's shouting also felt awkward.

"Principal Zhang, at first I was thinking about enrolling children between the ages of ten and twelve, but I thought about it for a few days and wanted to raise the age up. After you listen to me, there are two reasons, one is that there will be more and more machines in our factory in the future, and today's children don't know much and will encounter a lot of trouble at work; Second, there is a big war to be fought right away, and I have to think about future wars. In the future, there will also be technical classes, and I plan to recruit some older students. I encourage my students to become soldiers, but I don't force them to become soldiers, I follow their preferences, and when I graduate from elementary school, I can choose to continue my studies, enter the factory and become a soldier. It's okay, you can see if my idea will work. ”

Several teachers discussed it, and Zhang Mingjiu said: "This is okay, after all, you can apply what you have learned, but how many places do you use here." ”

This time, I plan to enroll 300 students between the ages of 14 and 16, and the rest are still 10 to 12 students, these older students will be arranged for three years of primary school, and the rest will be taught according to normal teaching, and there is another point, I plan to run literacy classes in factories and military camps, and I will need more help from Principal Zhang at that time."

"It's not a big problem, but it can't affect the teaching on our side, and there are classes for older students, and there is a safety issue, which must also be guaranteed." Principal Zhang thought about it and said.

"There is no problem with this, in the first month of school, I will arrange a military training, which strengthens the tradition of respecting teachers and respecting students, increases physical fitness, and develops some good living habits. In the second war-torn era, children learned some basic safety knowledge and improved their methods of dealing with crises. I will seconded three German coaches from the teaching team, and I will arrange soldiers to protect the security and safety of teachers in the future, and this will send a class of 12 people to stay in the school for a long time. ”

"That's okay, then there will be no problem, it just so happens that the books haven't arrived now, so it's good for the students to train in the military." The teachers felt good when they heard it.

"Principal Zhang, I also read the teaching arrangement you gave just now, the workload of each teacher is very large, so let's count the standard class hours of each teacher a week according to twelve class hours, and the rest of the additional bonuses, those who go to the literacy class will be calculated according to the double bonus, and the class teacher will have eight more class hours of bonuses per month, and then there will be various rewards such as evaluation, I can't let you teach hard. Principal Zhang, you can discuss it and come up with a plan, and other schools will implement it in the future. ”

When everything is done, the formal enrollment will begin, starting with Liujiatun and spreading to the surrounding villages. In the past, I used to talk to the elders of each village about the school, but now when I hear that the enrollment has begun, I want to enter the school. There are two reasons, first of all, the reading people at that time were of a very high status, and everything was inferior, but the reading was high; The second is that Meng Chang also takes care of food for free, that is a saying that half a child, eat a poor man.

When Meng Chang looked at the list of applicants, he found a problem, that is, there were no girls, all of them were boys. Meng Chang saw that this was not good, and in the future, many working girls would be much better than men. Meng Chang began to work for the clan elders and parents again, and finally recruited 240 female students half-voluntarily and semi-forcedly. Meng Chang said that if the girls don't come, the boys won't want it, and the adults will also be cleared out.

In the end, the two sides compromised with each other, and the girls could come to school, but they had to be independent girls' schools. Meng Changyou discussed with the teachers, and the teachers also agreed that even if Shanghai is now open, it is also an independent girls' school, and only in universities can there be a small number of co-ed schools. In the end, most of the girls in the school were temporarily isolated from the teachers and dormitory canteens. Wait for the new school to be better before parting.

On December 25, the 24th year of the Republic of China, Meng Chang's first school was established. At nine o'clock, more than 1,000 students stood neatly on the playground, and 17 teachers from Meng Chang and the elders of five villages stood on the rostrum. Looking at these children who have changed into unified school uniforms, Meng Chang's eyes are a little astringent, the children are too difficult, China is too difficult. It's too difficult to do just such a simple requirement as going to school, starting from me, starting from today, Meng Chang secretly made up his mind.

"Children, you are the first batch of students in Liujiatun Primary School from today, I hope you study hard, don't live up to this rare opportunity, now there are too many children in China who do not go to school, you study hard, and strive to let more children go to school in the future." Meng Chang originally wanted to say something grandiose, what sunrise in the east, what kind of young and strong country, but when he saw the tight little face with vegetables, he couldn't say anything.

Then Principal Zhang spoke, what education is related to the strength of the country, about the national body, about life and death, etc., much better than Meng Chang's, several clan elders also encourage children to study hard, this is Uncle Meng Chang's selfless dedication, without Uncle Meng Chang there would be no school today and so on.

The opening ceremony lasted for two hours, and then asked the head teacher to take their respective students to the cafeteria to eat. Meng Chang and the principal accompanied the clan elders.

In the afternoon, Meng Chang returned to the training cave, and there was Pete here in the school with a class of soldiers to help the students with military training, and the teacher used the gap in military training to teach students some basic knowledge of the school.
