Summary/Abstract: The activities of government teachers’ training colleges in the Kingdom of Poland in the years 1866–1915 served to prepare candidates for teaching work in elementary schools. The model of education and upbringing of future teachers adopted in the seminars was to guarantee the implementation of the Russifi cation policy in elementary education. The graduates of the seminary not only gained useful pedagogical knowledge there but also were subjected to intensive educational eff orts aimed at turning them into teachers faithfully carrying out the orders of their superiors. The tasks set by the Russian authorities translated into the way of organizing didactic and educational work carried out in teachers’ training colleges and required the appropriate selection of teaching staff responsible for educating pupils.
