An Expounding of the Boxer-Indemnity-for-Education Movement Advanced by the Education Community in the ROC Age

在美国第一次退还庚子赔款尤其是在一战爆发后,教育界开展了声势浩大的退款兴学运动。他们前往欧洲为退还庚子赔款进行宣传和交涉,并在国内展开舆论攻势,掀起退款兴学高潮。教育界的退款兴学运动引起了国内外各界人士对庚子赔款的关注,加速了各国决定退还庚款的进程,并为庚款用于教育事业打下了良好的基础。

After U.S.remission of indemnity,particularly after the breakout of the First World War,extensive movements of Remission for Education rolled out in the education community of the Republic of China（ROC）.Members of the community came to Europe for advocacy and negotiation aimed at the remission,and arouse public consensus in China about Remission for education,thus bringing about a climax for the movement.The movement propelled by the education community invited great attention to the Box Indemnity,accelerated its remission from the western countries,and laid solid foundations for the use of the Remission for education.
