242Development of Mass Education Museum During the Nanjing National Government (1927–1949): A Focus on Xuzhou Mass Education MuseumIn 1928, the Nanjing National Government achieved its purpose of educating the general public by setting up mass education museum as social education facilities. Particularly in Jiangsu Province, where the economy and education had been highly developed, the development of a mass education museum had come to fruition. This paper focuses on the Xuzhou Mass Education Museum in Jiangsu Province to explore the development of a mass education museum during the Nanjing National Government.In 1932, the Xuzhou Mass Education Museum finally opened after a long preparation period. It developed several educational undertakings and convened excellent human resources. Meanwhile, its organizational changes and staff transfers had become frequent, which might have hindered educational development.Regarding specific educational undertakings, the Xuzhou Mass Education Museum undertook full-scale improvement activities from three aspects: livelihood education, language education, and civilian training. However, in most cases, discrepancies existed between Xuzhou’s social situation on the verge of bankruptcy and the people’s demands when struggling to survive every day. Naturally, alongside business development, there had been adjustments to some educational undertakings through trial and error. However, people’s participation had always remained superficial. They did not try to participate intensively, but merely watched the excitement everywhere. It was because at that time, there were few opportunities for the people of Xuzhou to acquire from the educational undertakings of the Xuzhou Mass Education Museum. Consequently, the connection between the educational undertakings and the local community had not deepened.Jingxian WAN
