After listening to Li Zhong's words, the rest of the mortals also got up and invited each other. (Remember.)

At this time, Sun Yuanqi was hesitant, and naturally it was not good to tell them that he lived in Shuilu Street, so it would be exposed. Once they know that they are scholars, do they dare to ask themselves what to learn? Even if you dare to ask questions, who can guarantee that this simple knowledge will not be sour? However, it is not appropriate to refuse the sincere requests of these students, after all, they are a heart of pure learning, not to mention that they came to Hubei to set up education. The ancients said well: "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world".?

After thinking for a while, he said: "When I first arrived in Wuchang, I had no fixed place to live, and in addition to studying and preparing for exams on weekdays, I might have to walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the three towns of Wuchang." I don't answer you a little when you say that. But do you eat here on weekdays? ”。

"Yes.". The students nodded in unison.

Sun Yuanqi said: "That's good." Recently, I will be in Wuchang, every five or six days, seven or eight days, and I will come here at noon, and I can explain what you don't understand in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

The students thanked them in unison, and seeing that Sun Yuan had not eaten yet, they quickly got up and said goodbye.

Seeing a few students walking away, Yang Du smiled and said, "Baixi has just been here for less than half a month, and he has begun to recruit students?" It is estimated that if this continues, in three years, more than half of the people in Hubei Province will have to be your students. People are for one term of office, for the benefit of one party: you are good, for one term of office, for one party. You have to serve as a student envoy in a few more places, and you are not really a peach and plum all over the world? ”。

Liu Shipei said: "It is a pleasure to get the world's talents and educate them." Why not? Brother Zhezi, neither of us can be left behind! When will we also open the altar to receive disciples? ”。

Sun Yuanqi joked: "It's not easy for Uncle Shen to accept apprentices! There are kindergartens and nursing homes in Wuchang City, and it just so happens that I still have so much power in my hands, when will I transfer you to be the principal, will it be successful? ”。

The three of them were talking and laughing while eating a cold meal. When I went out to pay the bill after eating, I found that the students had already helped me get the money. Sun Yuanqi secretly praised in his heart: From this point of view, those students are still okay in the world.1 At least they know how to respect teachers and value education!

Gratitude is gratitude, but Sun Yuanqi didn't dare to admit it, after all, he saw the dishes they ate with his own eyes just now, and knew that his colleagues' respective families should not be too wealthy: and he has a fortune every month, why let them break the bank? And he gave the money he had taken and gave it to the treasurer, and he put it into their accounts. Only then did he walk out of the restaurant with Yang and Liu, and went straight to the Hubei Normal School outside Binyang Gate.

Hubei Normal School was built in the dumb year, the purpose is to train primary and secondary school teaching, the school class for eight hours a day, daily naked course including reading the scriptures, seminary, arithmetic, education, hygiene, teaching method, school management law, etc. According to the regulations, the first crash course is set to graduate in one year, the second class graduates in two years, and the third class graduates in three years. Generally speaking, the school is average, naturally inferior to the Lianghu General Teacher, but it is better than the Normal Training Institute.1 It is like a difficult brother and a brother in the Zhijun School.

Back at the government office, Sun Yuanqi grabbed the two people who were traveling with him and didn't let them go: "I went to the four normal schools today, I just had this idea, I want to strike while the iron is hot, please refer to the two together, and take out the first draft first!" ”。

The proprietor has a life, and the two naturally can't shirk.

After sitting down in the study, Sun Yuanqi began to express his general opinion: "As far as I have seen in several schools today, I think there are currently the following three problems: First, the proportion of scripture in teaching is too large, in fact, the most indispensable thing in traditional education is scripture, and there is no need to highlight it in the classroom at all. On the contrary, scientific knowledge is the content that we should most publicize and popularize today, and its proportion must be increased.

"Second, the blindness and the idea of quick success in teacher education are too serious. What is the effect of graduating in one year of crash course? Centennial plan, education-oriented, teacher education can not be a quick project, emergency project, we must pay attention to the quality of teachers 1 because the quality of a teacher often determines the quality of countless students. Today's physics teaching at the Chief Normal of the Two Lakes is very illustrative.

"Third, the teaching level of each school is uneven, and the phenomenon of laziness, laziness and looseness of teachers is relatively serious, which completely fails to achieve the expected teaching purpose. In the future reform, it is necessary to strictly assess the level of teachers, and those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted. ”。

Yang Du and Liu Shipei did not speak, but listened carefully, because on the one hand, they did not have much practical experience in education, so they did not have the right to speak: on the other hand, they must also learn to listen as staff members and subordinates.

"Since there is a problem, it must be reformed, especially at this initial stage of popularizing and promoting a new type of school education!" Sun Yuanqi said in a sonorous voice, "Regarding the reform plan, I roughly think like this: First, on the basis of the Lianghu General Normal, a new Lianghu Normal will be established, and the branch county normal, the normal training institute, and the Hubei Normal will all be abolished, and all teachers and students will be merged. According to the different objects of education, the new school is divided into three colleges: early childhood education, primary education, and secondary education.

"Second, the newly established schools have only two school systems, three years for early childhood education and primary education, and four years for secondary education: four years for secondary education.

There is no such thing as a crash course. Three-year students, the first year of basic courses, the second and third years of specialization, at least three months of internship before graduation. Four-year students, the first two years of basic foundation, the last two years of professional courses, at least half a year of internship.

"Third, improve the quality of teachers in schools and eliminate unqualified teachers. If you really can't find a suitable teacher, then you can draw it from Jingshi University, in short, those teachers who are incompetent, unruly, and don't know what to do, must not let them stay in school and mislead people's children.

"Fourth, students in the school are strict in and out, and they must study seriously after enrollment, and those who have bad conduct and refuse to change their teaching are advised to quit, and those who fail to pass many courses are not allowed to graduate.

"Fifth, gradually promote the teacher qualification system. After graduating from the school, in addition to the graduation certificate, a teacher qualification certificate will be issued. In the future, new teachers in Hubei must hold a teacher qualification certificate before they are allowed to teach on stage. After the manpower is barely abundant, the original unlicensed teachers must return to school to tutor and obtain teaching qualifications, otherwise they will be dismissed. Although the teaching qualification certificate will allow a small number of mediocre talents to mix into the teaching team, and a few outstanding talents will be excluded because of this, in order to ensure the competence of the majority of people, only a small number of people can be sacrificed............

Sun Yuanqi said a few points in a row, provided and added some, and Liu Shipei on the side had already taken a pen and wrote down the general provisions on the paper.

After everyone's opinions were roughly finalized, Yang Du said: "Baixi, is this reform too big?" You must know that the three most praised things in Huguang by Xiang Shuai over the years are not only the establishment of industries and the training of new soldiers, but also the promotion and education. And the most important of this education is teacher education. Now that you have just arrived, you have made drastic reforms and abolished most of the schools established by Xiang Shuai, will people think that you are negating Xiang Shuai's achievements over the years? ”。

Sun Yuanqi was full of pride: "On the contrary! My reform is not to deny Xiang Shuai's achievements this year, but to carry forward Xiang Shuai's pioneering achievements. If they are not rectified, they will close sooner or later, and at that time, they will really have the painstaking efforts of Xiang Shuai and deny Xiang Shuai's merits. If the school can develop healthily after the reform, and the students trained will benefit the country and the people, after thousands of generations, who will forget Xiangshuai's initial achievements? ”。

Seeing what Yang Du was going to say, Sun Yuanqi waved his hand: "Don't worry, the palace has already given me the power to dictate myself when I leave Beijing!" It's a big deal, after Uncle Shen finishes writing, in addition to sending it to Beijing, he will also send a copy to Xiangshuai! ”。

Yang Du shook his head: "After all, this is a matter on the ground in Hubei, Xiang Shuai, as the governor of Huguang and the governor of Hubei, how should he discuss with him first before playing?" You must know that "the county official is not as good as the current management, ah! What's more, the funds of the normal school are all raised and allocated by Xiangshuai? …”

Sun Yuanqi thought about it and felt that it was right, so he agreed to Yang Du's suggestion. A day later, he took the reform draft written by Liu Shipei and went to the Huguang Governor's Mansion to meet Zhang Zhidong.

How many officials can there be from the second grade in Hunan and Hubei provinces? I'm afraid I can count them all in one hand. Therefore, Sun Yuan paid a visit, and Zhang Zhidong naturally wanted to meet him. The old man took the manuscript handed over by Sun Yuanqi, looked at it with reading glasses, and said to Sun Yuanqi after a while:

"Baixi, what you said here, some old men dare not agree!". (To be continued.)
