The core point upon which intellectuals and political movements agreed was the question of “how the country could be saved?” The answer of that question was “the salvation of the county could be only by a well moral education”. Since there was a thought which was prevailed in that period that the main reason of the problems which had been faced after World War I and the cause of defeats were moral degradation.
