More or Less Latin? Troubles of Expert Discussions in Period Print about Manner and Content of Latin Teaching at Secondary Schools of the Habsburg Monarchy at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: The second half of the 19th century in the Habsburg monarchy was characteristic for the considerable development of the secondary education, which was related to the economic growth of Cisleithania, above all, and also emancipation attempts of individual nations in a multi-national state. The effort in modernization of teaching at a secondary school – a grammar school in particular has led to the increase in criticism of a teaching plan of that school as well as the two most high-profi led subjects – Latin and Greek. Criticism was focused not only on a number of classes devoted to both languages but also on methodological matters connected with oral and written expression. The attention was also paid to a quality of classical philologists – teachers. The author follows discussions as they appeared on pages of the journals Zeitschrift für die öterreichischen Gymnasien, Věstník českých professorů or Časopis Musea filologického at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. As a consequence, it is possible to trace an inexorable decline of both languages in a teaching process of a secondary school that has not been stopped until present.
