仪董学堂考述

A History Research of Yidong School

仪董学堂是清末扬州地区创办最早的一所新式学堂。1902年程仪洛、恩铭先后执掌该校,严定章程,革新课程,初步建立起学堂管理制度及运行机制,使学堂办学渐有声色。1906年两淮盐运使司发生人事变动,新任盐运使赵滨彦依照癸卯学制有关规定将仪董学堂更名为两淮中学堂。后因民国代清,两淮中学堂又相继演变为淮扬合一中学、江苏省立第八中学校等。从仪董学堂的创建到省立八中的开办可以进一步窥探出清末民初江苏中等教育艰难的发展历程。

Yidong School was the first modern school founded in Yangzhou at the end of the Qing Dynasty. CHENG Yi-luo and YUKULI En-ming were successively in charge of the school in 1902, who made strict regu- lations, offered new curricula, and set up operating mechanisms and management systems, which gradually put the school on the right track. In 1906, the Salt Transportation Department of Huainan and Huaibei areas made personnel changes, and the new salt controller ZHAO Bin-yan renamed the school Linghuai Middle School in accordance with the Guimao school system. After the Qing Dynasty was replaced by the Republic of China, Linghuai Middle was renamed successively Huaiyang United Middle School and No. 8 Middle School run by Jiangsu Province. The evolution of the school reveals the difficult development process of the secondary education of Jiangsu Province in the periods of the late Qing Dynasty and of the early Republic of China.
