很多时候，那些衡量指标都是不可量化的。现在来理解民国的教育，我们知道那个时候有战乱，有动荡，但是它的教育是相对成功的，因为那个时代教师得到了尊重，学校得到了尊重。那个时代的学校，大部分我们不能说全部都是由教育家来办的，而不是由行政人员来办的。

Most of the time,The indicators can be quantified.Now to understand the education of the republic of China,We know that time has a conflict,turbulent,But it is relatively successful education,Because the time got to respect teachers,The school has been respected.School of that era,Most of all we can't say by educators to do,Rather than by the administrative personnel to do.

　　那个时候，北大校长这个位置和教育部长之间可以是来来回回的，蒋梦麟当过教育部长，也多次当过北大校长，但他不认为当了部长，再当校长有什么不好。蔡元培也当过教育总长，然后再去当北大校长。他们并不觉得校长和部长之间有巨大的落差，反而觉得北大校长这个位置可能更体面，北大校长，在他们心目中不是一个行政职务，在他们看来，这是一个教育家所担负的岗位。

At that time,President of Peking University this position and can be a back and forth between education minister,Jiang Menglin worked as a minister of education,Also worked as a President of Peking University for many times,But he doesn't think that when the minister,When the headmaster again have what not good.CAI yuanpei also worked as a education administrators,Then go to when the President of Peking University.They don't think there is a huge gap between between presidents and ministers,Instead think of pku President this position may be more decent,The principal of Peking University,In their minds is not an administrative position,In their opinion,This is an educator for jobs.

　　我想到几个人。张伯苓，大家都知道他是南开大学的校长，但我更愿意说他是南开中学的校长。事实上，张伯苓办得最成功的学校可能还不是天津的南开学校，而是抗战烽火中的重庆南开中学。

I think of several people.Zhang Boling,Everyone knows he is the President of nankai university,But I prefer to say he is the head of nankai middle school.In fact,,Zhang Boling may not be the most successful school in tianjin nankai school,But resistance must in chongqing nankai middle school.

　　林砺儒，他是北京师范大学附属中学的校长，后来做了北京师范大学的校长，1949年以后做了教育部的副部长。我倒觉得他不应该去做副部长，他最适合的岗位是做校长，而不是部长。经亨颐，浙江第一师范学校校长，创办过春晖中学。还有赵君达、高凤山、周厚枢……后面这几个人现在都不大有名了，已经被人们给忘了，但是在他们学生的眼中曾经都是耀眼的明星，曾经是太阳，正是在他们手里，天津耀华中学、北京汇文中学、扬州中学，这些学校都是当时中国最好的中学。这样的人，在民国的时候，每个地方都有一批，正是他们这些大大小小的教育，家办出了一批很有魅力、很有影响的中小学。

Lin Liru,He is the headmaster of the affiliated middle school of Beijing normal university,President of Beijing normal university was done,Since 1949, vice minister of the ministry of education.I don't think he should go to do vice minister,He is the most suitable position for the principal,Rather than a minister.Via heng h,Zhejiang first normal school principal,Chunhui middle school founded.And zhao JunDa/Gao Fengshan/Zhou Houshu...Behind the men are not too famous now,To have been forgotten,But in the eyes of their students used to be shining star,Used to be the sun,It is in their hands,Yao hua middle school in tianjin/Analyses of Beijing middle school/Yangzhou middle school,These schools are the best high school in China at that time.Such a person,At the time of the republic of China,Every place has a batch of,It is their education, big and small,Home run out a batch of very attractive/Impact of primary and secondary schools.

　　所以，我说一个民族的文明程度很大程度是由中小学所决定，而这些教育家就是这些学校后面的灵魂人物，他们不仅是掌舵的人，没有他们，学校就没有灵魂。

so,I said much of the civilization degree of a nation is determined by the primary and secondary schools,The educator is behind the life and soul of the school,They are not only at the helm,Without them,The school, there is no soul.
