211, Beiman Nursery School (please complete order)
"A women's high school?"
Bai Gui's eyebrows tightened.
Now Brother Xun is saying this, Mr. De is here, women’s rights are higher, and teaching women doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
But teaching to women was considered a humiliation to literati in the old days.
Generally speaking, the teachers and teachers hired by wealthy families for their young ladies are relatively poor scholars, or they simply teach themselves directly without hiring outsiders.
If Brother Xun hadn't looked serious now, Bai Gui would have mistakenly thought that Brother Xun was teasing him and making fun of him.
"As for a women's high school..."
Bai Gui paused. Although he does not discriminate against women's right to education, as a scholar, it is really difficult for him to take this step... and he will definitely arouse criticism and bear the pressure of defamation.
"Brother Meihe, what are you worried about?"
"Since 1898 when Liang Ren opened a formal school for women, male teachers began to teach female students. Later, the "Regulations of the Women's School" promulgated in 1907 incorporated women's education into formal education and taught
Women shouldn’t avoid it…”
Brother Xun advised.
Now that he is serving as the Secretary of Education, he naturally wants to make some achievements.
Bai Gui happened to return to China and didn't want to be an official, but also wanted to avoid trouble, so it would be best to teach in a women's college.
Once a famous new-style literati like Bai Gui is willing to teach women, many people will definitely follow suit, and the resistance to promoting women's education will definitely be greatly reduced...
Of course, if Bai Gui doesn't want to do it, he won't force it.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Bai Gui couldn't help but swore, and drank a cup of tea, "What does it mean to teach women and not avoid it? Brother Yucai, do you think I really don't understand women's education? When a male teacher teaches female students, he will definitely lower the curtain on the podium.
, in order to avoid the difference between men and women..."
Since the liberalization of women's education in 1907, there has been a shortage of teachers to teach female students. Because the female teachers in the past taught subjects such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, there was a shortage of teachers to teach female students, so they had to find male teachers to apply.
, but at this time there are differences between men and women in the country, what should we do?
Didn’t the Queen Mother of the West listen to politics behind the curtain?
Simple!
The male gentleman teaches the female students, teaching behind the curtain!
For this reason, male teachers who teach female students are also criticized.
"This..., this, this..."
Brother Xun is a lot embarrassed.
In fact, the consequences Bai Gui said are more serious, and the consequences he said are lighter. Of course, the consequences of teaching female students are not too serious for Bai Gui, it will only attract some criticism, but this is the criticism of some pedantic old stubborns.
Among some new-style literati, Bai Gui will be praised.
There are two sides to the matter.
So Brother Xun's words were intended to "deceive" Bai Gui into teaching in a women's college.
There is no bad intention.
For example, when Liang Rengong founded Jingzheng Women's School, he did not attract much criticism. This thing depends on people, and scholars like Bai Gui will not cause many big problems.
"Since Brother Meihe doesn't want to go, I won't force him."
Brother Xun shook his head and sighed.
It's normal for Bai Gui to have concerns. Anyone who is slightly famous will cherish their feathers. It was within his expectation that Bai Gui would end up like this.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and stepped forward.
"etc……"
"Brother Yucai, I didn't say I didn't plan to teach in a women's college. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Bai Gui was surprised and blocked the way.
"Then you just yelled at me?"
Brother Xun said speechlessly.
"I'm yelling at you because you don't tell me everything. It's not like you're a good friend..."
Bai Gui glanced at Brother Xun and said lightly.
He yelled at Brother Xun entirely because Brother Xun didn't fully confess to him and was hiding something. But this wasn't that Brother Xun was unfriendable, it was just a small mutual trap between friends.
If he goes to teach in a women's college, nothing big will happen.
Plus, it's a really good way to avoid trouble.
Just imagine, Bai Meihe has "degenerated" to teach in a women's college, then he must be unwilling to become an official, regardless of whether he is willing or not. At this moment, Bai Gui's behavior seems to be "self-defeating". If the impact of public opinion is not clear yet, please
The number of invitations to his official position is bound to decrease sharply, and no one is willing to appoint a person who is at the forefront of the limelight.
Official, only stable!
Besides, if he comes forward, it can promote women's education.
is a good thing!
The consequences are within control and there is no reason to refuse.
"Which women's college should I teach at?"
Bai Gui asked.
"Beiman Girls' School."
Brother Xun was startled for a moment, then replied.
"Beiman Girls' School..."
Bai Gui nodded.
Beiman Girls' School is a well-known church school in Yanjing. It was first founded by Mrs. Grande, a missionary to Kenya, in memory of her husband. At first, it only provided primary school education, requiring students not to
Foot binding developed to middle schools in 1895. College courses were launched in 1905, with the female missionary Maimed as the principal. Later, this women's college was merged into Yenching University in 1920.
The reason why women’s education is mostly in church schools.
It is not difficult to understand. At the beginning, the missionaries wanted to preach, but no one would listen, so the missionaries would choose to set up schools to preach. But where would the students come from? They could only recruit children from poor civilians and women...
…
"This is an invitation letter from Beiman Girls' School to be a professor. I have already asked the principal, Ms. Maimede, for advice. She heard that you will be the teacher and is happy to give you the position of professor..."
Brother Xun took out an invitation from his briefcase and smiled.
With Bai Gui's qualifications, let alone Beiman Girls' School, he can even be a professor at Peking University.
"Okay, I can take office tomorrow."
Bai Gui nodded and accepted the invitation.
Since he has agreed to teach in a women's college, there is no reason to shirk. The sooner he goes, the more leisure he can have.
"Okay, I'll go to Beiman Girls' School later..."
"Tell Ms. Maimed the good news."
Seeing Bai Gui happily accepting the invitation, Brother Xun couldn't help but laugh.
Although it is a good thing and an extremely just thing to promote women's education, it is indeed a bit funny for the dignified Bai Meihe to go to a women's college to work...
Wait for Brother Xun to leave in a hurry.
Bai Gui looked at the gilded invitation in front of him, feeling a little dazed.
This is probably the first time a reborn person has gone to work in a women's high school.
"That's all. Now that it's here, let's make peace with it."
"It's just a women's college. Liang Rengong also taught there. What can I do to defeat the noble..."
Bai Gui convinced himself over and over again.
"My boss, Master Zhou is here."
Lao Li knocked on the door and said.
"Please come in."
Bai Gui hid the invitation and said.
"Mr. Bai, I have brought you the contract for this house. Take a look..."
