Summary/Abstract: The construction of modern Romania has been achieved, not only through the efforts of politicians and culture people, who proposed and made the necessary reforms, but also by the teachers's contribution, especially rural teachers. Besides the class and extracurricular students activities of lifting the masses through education, teachers have also been involved in solving other problems, with impact on the community, such as the study of natural phenomena (climate and influence on vegetation, earthquakes), contributing to the foundation of Romanian scientific research in this field. This study presents the role of Bacau teachers in the development of Romanian meteorology and seismology at the end of the XIX-th century and the beginning of the XX-th century.
