On the Status of HUANG Yan-pei's Pragmatism Educational Thoughts in the Modern China Educational History

The author believes that the American educationist, Menro paid his first visit to China in June, 1913, rather than in September, 1921, which was carried in "the Encyclopedia of Chinese Words", and "Educational Volume" of "China s Encyclopedia . Menro s visit was a symbol of pragmatism which was first propagated in the Modern China Educational History. HUANG Yan-pei published his article "Discussions on Pragmatism in schools", which started the first upsurge of pragmatism in the modern China educational history. By the advanced study, HUANG Yan-pei finally found the first theoretical basis for his political thoughts: Save the nation by education, which turned over a new leaf of the thoughts of professional education in modern China history. The thought was prominent for the internal demand in the country at that time as it came from the active factors within the pragmatism.
