天津教养院是北洋时期天津地方政府与当地新式绅商通力合办救济事业的典型救济机构,具有鲜明的现代特征,表现在确立现代官民合作机制,经费保障纳入地方政府责任,呈现良性经营状态。但从院民教养状况来看,重养大于重教,反映了时局危艰和传统救济方式的强大惯性。 Tianjin Correctional Service is a typical relief organization jointly established by the local government of Tianjin and the local new gentry in the Beiyang Period. It has distinctive modern features. It is manifested in the establishment of a modern government-civilian cooperation mechanism and the guarantee of funds into the responsibility of local governments, thus presenting a healthy state of operation. However, from the point of view of the re-education of the residents, re-education over re-education reflects the strong inertia of the current situation and the traditional remedies.
