PRYWATNE ZAKŁADY KSZTAŁCENIA I WYCHOWANIA DZIEWCZĄT W GALICJI W LATACH 1841-1870 (W ŚWIETLE DIECEZJALNYCH SZEMATYZMÓW SZKÓŁ LUDOWYCH)
PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS FOR THE EDUCATION AND UPBRINGING OF GIRLS IN GALICIA (EASTERN EUROPE) FROM 1841 TO 1870 (IN THE LIGHT OF DIOCESAN YEARBOOKS OF FOLK SCHOOLS)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the problem of educating girls from noble and middle-class families living in Galicia in the 19th century. They were often sent to private educational institutions opened in larger towns and cities of the area. Although the problem concerns the Austrian Partition, it can also be considered in the context of other Polish lands during the Partitions era. For this article, mainly printed diocesan lists (yearbooks) of folk schools from the area of Galicia were used. Educational institutions for girls operated by private persons were analysed. Most institutions of this type were established in Lviv. The period of their activity varied considerably. The founders and owners of these institutions were women. Moreover, they acted as teachers. Predominantly they taught on their own. Only occasionally were additional teachers employed in some establishments. It was common practice to employ local priests to teach the Catholic religion. Small groups of girls were admitted to these institutions. Usually there were a dozen or a few more.
