One of the biggest challenges in Poland (1918-1939) was the establishment of a new Polishschool. The main goal of the newly created Polish school was to educate a generation aspatriots and responsible citizens, and unite compatriots from three ex-partitions. The first school curriculum in the independent Poland focused on teaching social knowledge, Polish and European cultures, and, above all, providing pupils with moral and aesthetic experience. Music education played a key role in bringing various ideological objectives to fruition. Music compositions with national themes – both from concert and folk traditions – were worshipped and seen as the rebirth of the national culture. The goal of music instruction was to educate the young generation, bring it closer to the ideas embedded in the masterpieces of art, and deepen their love of music.

Disruptive behavior of the pupils became from different reasons and social circumstances. Animportant role, a huge one I would say, it has the teacher, who put the intellectual base at thepupils. The teacher intervention to maintain the order in the classroom putting on the end to thedisruptive behavior or on the contrary gets to the worse. So, teacher intervention has some basicsteps which must get follow, but their not a basic rule, it is more a reference point from wherethe teacher could guide in a difficult situation.

Alojzije Fleischer’s arrival to Bjelovar (1802 – 1873) as the organist of the catholic parish church in Bjelovar (beginning of the 19th century) meant his inclusion into the first activities of the cultural development of this small Croatian town in the eastern territory of the then Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Fleischer’s life is characterised with long, devoted and studious musical activity in the surroundings new to him for its nationality, mentality, customs, and climate. His activity as a conductor of a choir society, music teacher, promoter of many folk, popular, patriotic songs at the beginning of the Croatian National Revival was written down, and many of these songs were written in musical notebooks. The loyalty to his new country A. Fleischer transferred to his oldest son Gustav Fleischer (Bjelovar 1857 – 1913), who had finished chemistry at the Polytechnic Academy in Graz. G. Fleischer noted in many ways the development of cultural life in Bjelovar. For twenty years he was a Principal of Bjelovar’s Grammar school and he contributed, among other things, to the expansion of the grammar school to higher classes and to baccalaureate. He distinguished himself as an excellent teacher and through many published works. He translated from German two chemistry student class books and wrote several shorter instructions on how to study better. He was among the first to stand for “mutual education of boys and girls”, which was at that time an avant-garde concept, and he followed this idea with many published discussions. His contribution to archaeology, practical pharmacy, painting, composition, music, and etc. is of great importance. He distinguished himself in organisational activities as an initiator, cofounder, and long time chief editor of the local newspapers Bjelovarsko-Križevački Weekly. He was the conductor of Bjelovar’s choir society Dvojnice, he participated in the establishment of the school and hospital library and he helped the education of deprived students. One of his three daughters, Ida (1882 – 1915), distinguished herself as an amateur painter. Ida had two children (her daughter Vlasta and son Raoul). The two Gustav’s grandchildren, engineer Raoul Sabljak (1910-1975), the expert for the construction of hydro-electric power plants and engineer Aleksandar Johanides (1911 – 1990), the expert in chemical industry, left Bjelovar early, and both of them had great success in their professions in Croatia and abroad. From the Fleischer-Sabljak family two daughters of R. Sabljak (great-granddaughters of G. Fleischer) lived outside of Croatia. The one and only descendant of the Fleischer-Sabljak family in Croatia (the daughter of Vlasta Sabljak-Lisac) is dr. sc. Inga Lisac, who lives in Zagreb. In Bjelovar there still exists the tomb of the Fleischer family in the main alley of the old St. Andrew cemetery.

Nevertheless, he never considered himself a philosopher, inmy vision Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi – as regards his oeuvre – canbe considered one of the most important Indian thinkers of the 20thcentury. Being a symbol of non-violent resistance and an iconic figure of India’s independence struggle, we tend to look on him as a hero of the anticolonial struggle, as father of the modern India, forgetting that all these appellations are deeply rooted in his special way of thinking and acting, which could be characterized through words like simplicity,truth (satya), non-violence (ahimsa), love etc.In my paper, I will try to synthetize the philosophical thought of Gandhi, so that from the three core concepts of the Gandhian philosophy (satya, ahimsa and satyagraha) at this time the accent to be put on the truth (satya), which constitute in fact the corner stone of the Gandhian philosophy. Analyzing these concepts is very important because of two reasons: first of all because these concepts either are rooted in the Indian religious traditions (Jainism, Hinduism or Buddhism), and semantically redesigned by Gandhi, or concepts created by himself, but being based on categories provided by India’s philosophical-religious traditions. On the other hand, the concept of truth – by the other two core concepts – had a very important role both in awakening nationalist sentiment and shaping the Indian nation in the early decades of the twentieth century, and in the anti-colonial fight characterized by nonviolent resistance.Therefore, it will be analysed in brief the etymology of satya (truth),highlighting the changes made by Gandhi in the semantic content of the concept. It is worth noting that in the Gandhian thought and discourse the old notions taken from the Hindu religious tradition acquires new semantic layers that make possible their interpretation in a new, sociopolitical context and not a religious one.

In world cultures, the individual’s transition from one stage of existence to the other is marked by specific ceremonies.When a youth is on the verge of entering adulthood, this milestone is touched upon through rites – more or less challenging from aphysical, mental and emotional point of view – meant to prepare him for the active participation in the community’s life, of which he is a member, and take on the specific responsibilities of his new identity.I have used the term identity since, we shall see, the transition from one stage to the other involves the casting off of one’s old garb and bedecking one’s self anew, a fundamental reconfiguration of the individual. Starting from the philosophical framing of the rites, in order to understand the concept of initiatory death we shall, first,reveal the origins of Upanayana, the context of its birth, its development stages, goal, and lastly, stop at some relevant passages for this rite from the sacred texts.

The history of Central Asia is full of situations where the leadership of the territory was in the hands of a woman.Sometimes she served as a regent, sometimes she held the ultimate power. One of these women was Raziya (1236-1240), who ruled a northern India kingdom that fell into the hands of Muslim invaders.One of the most ambitious historical characters of the Indian subcontinent, an echo of the struggle for gender equality, Raziyaloved and respected the people chosen to govern it regardless of religion, belief, and habits.Raziya was a surprising personality leader with a big ambition, an inherited intelligence in the family, and an overwhelming energy.These qualities have been combined with tolerance to other people,the hardness and the power to continue that made her immortal and memorable in the people’s consciousness.
