蔡元培任民国教育总长时,范源濂任次长,他们办教育的方法相对立。范源濂说:“小学没有办好,怎么能有好中学?中学没有办好,怎么能有好的大学?所以我们的第一步,当先整顿小学。”蔡元培说:“没有好大学,中学师资哪里来?没有好中学,小学师资哪里来?所以我们第一步,当先整顿大学。”两个意见合起来,就是由小学至大学,没有一方面不应整顿。 When Cai Yuanpei was the chief of education for the People's Republic of China, Fan Yuanyuan was the second vice president and their methods of education were opposite. Fan Yuanyuan said: “The primary school did not do well, how can there be good middle school? High school did not do well, how can there be a good university? So our first step, first rectify primary school.” “Cai Yuanpei said:” There is no good university, Where do secondary school teachers come from? No secondary schools and primary school teachers come from here? Therefore, we should first rectify the university as a first step. "The two opinions are combined from elementary school to university. There should be no rectification on the one hand.
