Summary/Abstract: Father Jacek Woroniecki Polish Dominican was the outstanding author. He lived in 19th and 20th centuries. Fr. Jacek Woroniecki worked on ethics, pedagogy. He was the one of the creators of the Catholic University in Lublin and its President. His work covers 200 publications: books, articles (theology, ethics, pedagogy, the Church history). Some of his articles concern language problems (Polish language), mainly the place of mother language grammar in education. During the 1918–1939 period Fr. Jacek was not only the observer of transformation in the Polish education, but he made his own commentary to them – he was a scientist, a lecturer and an author. He made the conclusions about the Polish culture on Renewal Time. He claimed, that the Polish culture was influenced by many of good phenomena, but also by many not so positive trends. He regarded such tendencies as dangerous: 1) decay of teaching of Polish language and grammar, because of promoting of natural sciences; 2) the lack of deepened interest of philosophy of mother language grammar teaching showed by Polish language and literature teachers; 3) breaking tradition in teaching – modern methods instead of the old ones turned out to be useful.
