The Daehan-Maeil Shinbo (The Korean Daily News) was published in 1904 and ceased in 1910. It was printed in three different languages; 1) Korean, 2) Chinese Characters and Korean, and 3) English.
At that period our national sovereignty was at the crisis of loss by Japan, and Japanese invasion of Korea was almost decisive.
The education enlightenment campaign claimed by this paper was in fact the movement of education encouragement as the patriotism enlightenment campaign.
I aim to study the school education and industrial education claimed by this paper.
The items of the encouragement of school education are as follows:
1. To insist on bringing up many young talents by setting up as many schools as possible.
2. To insist on enforcing the national education for patriotism, the spirit of independence, and cultivation of ability.
3. To insist on deducators' unity.
4. To insist on righteous behaviour and moral education.
5. To insist on becoming teachers who can teach students spiritual education.
6. To insist on practicing compulsory education.
7. To insist on teaching our Korean standard textbooks instead of Japanese textbooks.
8. To insist on teaching the Korean language.
9. To insist on awakening the patriotism and national spirit.
In short, the purpose of school education was in developing knowledges of the people and recovering national rights.
The items of the encouragement of industrial education are as follows:
1. To insist on protecting the aggravation of national economy caused by the invasion of Japanese capital.
2. To insist on putting national profit above individual profit.
3. To insist on dispatching the group of industrial inspectors to other developed countries.
4. To insist on enacting the law of industrial education in school system.
5. To insist on developing griculture through establishing agricultural schools.
6. To insist on developing commercial industry through establishing commercial schools, and pursuing mercantilism.
7. To insist on founding a rich powerful country through establishing technical school.
8. To insist on endeavouring science education.
In host, the ultimate aim of industrial education was the recovery of national rights through increasing production.
