O pokušaju pružanja pomoći slabijim đacima u Konviktu “Narodne uzdanice” u Tuzli
About an attempt to assist the weaker students in the dormitory The People’s Hope (Narodne uzdanice) in Tuzla

Summary/Abstract: The local committee of the Muslim Cultural Society The People’s Hope in Tuzla in 1938 organized the supervision and assistance in learning in its students’ boarding school for those of its alumni who attended the high schools in Tuzla, the ones who were lagging behind others or showing poor success in learning. Although this was done by the high-school teachers on a voluntary basis, the approval from the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia had to be obtained for their engagement. The preserved archival documents show that this was not an ordinary administrative formality. This paper traces the correspondence between the Local Board of The People’s Hope and the Gymnasium in Tuzla, the Education Department of The Royal Ban’s Administration over the Drina Banovina in Sarajevo and the Ministry of Education in Belgrade in connection with this approval. This official correspondence, besides showing how practically functioned the centrally organized administration in the Yugoslav monarchy, evidenced about the effort of the regime to prevent or at least hinder the work of those cultural-educational societies, which have not been made to the measure or under the aegis of this regime. The People’s Hope as the Muslim cultural-educational society did not enjoy the favor of the current government since its establishment in 1924. But rather the opposite.
