By purpose and design the Educational Commission combined the educational systems of both Lithuania and Poland under one national controlling body, thus duA2.c£ty taking over the responsibility for education and thus becoming the first "Ministry of Education" in Europe. The organization and work of the Educational Commission predates the establishment of national systems of education in other European countries by twenty to thirty years. For example, in France national education was planned by such great educational reform leaders as La Chalotais, Rolland, and later by Mirabeau, Talleyrand and Condorcet, but not realized until the mandate received in the French Constitution of 1791 and finally the passing of the Law of October 25, 1795. Likewise, in Switzerland a national system of education emerged under the leadership of Swiss Minister of Arts and Sciences,Albrecht Stapher only in 1798. In Prussia, Frederick the Great laid the groundwork for a national system of education by the Codes of 1763 and 1765. These were followed by the establishment of the Superior School Board in 1787. With the codification of Prussian civil law in 1794, the principle of state supremacy in education was recognized; but it was only after the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807, that the Prussian Bureau of Education was established and national education in INTRODUCTION xi Prussia began. Before then the idea of national education remained largely in the statute books. Polish historians, all of whom are cited in this study, have shown great interest in the educational reforms of the XVIIIth century.

  • Ilga Jansone, Anna Stafecka ATLAS of the BALTIC
    DOI: 10.11649/abs.2013.034 Acta Baltico-Slavica, 37 SOW, Warszawa 2013 Ilga Jansone, Anna Stafecka Latvian Language Institute of the University of Latvia Riga ATLAS OF THE BALTIC LANGUAGES: PLANT NAMES OF SLAVONIC ORIGIN Latvian and Lithuanian are the only Baltic languages still alive. They both have his- torically developed regional territorial dialects. Traditionally, three Latvian dialects are distinguished. Middle dialect is spoken in Kurzeme, Vidzeme and Zemgale. For the Livo- nian dialect, the area of distribution is Northern Kurzeme and North Western Vidzeme. High Latvian dialect is used in the eastern part of Latvia. The Latvian dialects are further divided into 500 small territorial units called subdialects which are united in certain groups. Lithuanian language has two main dialects: Aukshtaitian and Zhemaitian. Lithu- anian dialects are also divided into groups of subdialects, these groups containing more than 700 smaller dialectal units. Historical regional dialects are relatively well-preserved both in Latvia and Lithuania. Nevertheless, nowadays they are disappearing. This was the reason why the dialectologists of the Latvian Language Institute of the University of Latvia, and the Department of Language History and Dialectology of the Institute of the Lithuanian Language, have developed a joint project entitled Atlas of the Baltic Languages, which is intended to demonstrate the close kinship of these two Baltic languages. In 2009, the pilot project volume of the Atlas of the Baltic Languages, including 12 geolinguistic maps

  • Repatriation of Poles from Lithuania, 1944–1947
    chapter 7 Between Poland and Lithuania: Repatriation of Poles from Lithuania, 1944–1947 Vitalija Stravinskienė Introduction “Nostalgia is an illness that is common to everyone who came from Vilnius. … Only we can understand this longing for ‘Lithuania’ our fatherland.” This is how an author described his emotions in a letter to a friend sent from Poland to Lithuania in the late 1950s.1 This chapter tries to explain who those people who longed for Vilnius were, and how and why they ended up in Poland. It deals with the massive displacement of about 160,000 Poles from Soviet Lithuania to Poland between 1944 and 1947. The migration of Poles from Soviet Lithuania to the new “Peoples Republic of Poland,” shifted several hundred kilometres to the West and firmly under the control of the ussr, had been initiated by Joseph Stalin before the end of the war. It was a highly dynamic process that involved many people. Yet it must also be seen in the broader context of other processes that took place in Lithuania at the same time: brutal Sovietisation, massive repressions, radical economic and social changes, etc. This kind of comprehensive approach is necessary to reconstruct a more objective picture of the course and conse- quences of the Stalin-led population transfer of Poles from re-occupied Lithuania to Poland. The epicentre of this transfer was Vilnius and that part of Vilnius region that was incorporated into the Republic of Lithuania in 1939. More specifically, it was the city of Vilnius and the adjacent districts of Švenčionys, Vilnius and Trakai.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER SESCENTESIMA ANNIVERSARIA OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF JOHN PAUL II ON THE OCCASION OF THE SIXTH CENTENARY OF THE "BAPTISM" OF LITHUANIA To my Venerable Brother Liudas Povilonis Apostolic Administrator of Kaunas and Vilkaviskis President of the Lithuanian Episcopal Conference and to the other Bishops of Lithuania 1. THE SIX HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY of the "Baptism" of our Nation, which you are solemnly celebrating in this year of grace, is for you and your people an occasion for the deepening of faith, of prayer and of spiritual renewal, in which the whole Church is united with intense and fraternal participation. As I have recalled in various circumstances - and most recently in my homily at the Mass on 1 January last - the whole Church commemorates with you this very significant anniversary and with you gives thanks "to God for his inexpressible gift" (2 Cor 9:15). The Church in Rome and all the sister Churches throughout the world join you in the fervent prayer of thanksgiving that you are raising to the Lord for the inestimable grace of the "Baptism", for the welcome which it met among your people and for the benefits which it brought them, and for the strength and fervour with which your fathers preserved it and developed it amid the vicissitudes of a history six centuries long. The universal Church is aware of and grateful for the great spiritual wealth which the Lithuanian Catholic community has brought and still brings to the ecclesial communion and recognizes in its centuries-old witness of fidelity to Christ tire action of the Holy Spirit, who "by the power of the Gospel makes the Church grow, perpetually renews her, and leads her to perfect union with her Spouse ".(1) 2 As you know, in order to manifest this universal communion with you, on 28 June next, simultaneously with the national celebration in Vilnius, I shall preside at the tomb of the Apostle Peter at a solemn concelebration, during which I shall have the joy of beatifying a great son and Pastor of your people, Archbishop Jurgis Matulaitis.

    Barbara Werner Główny Specjalista ds. Ogrodów Historycznych Muzeum Łazienki Królewskie TULIPAN Marszałek Józef Piłsudski rośnie i zakwita na 100-lecie odzyskania niepodległości Od końca XVI wieku tulipany, które do Europy zachodniej, do Niderlandów przybyły z Turcji, na dobre zadomowiły się w europejskich ogrodach i nie sposób sobie wyobrazić wiosny bez ich obecności także w Łazienkach Królewskich. Z biegiem czasu z gatunków botanicznych powstała cała gama tysięcy odmian tulipana. Pojawiły się tulipany o różnym kształcie kieli- cha kwiatu, kolorze czy pokroju liści, o zróżnicowanym okresie kwitnienia – od wczesnej do późnej wiosny. Tulipany są obecnie niemalże wszędzie. Są symbolem wio- sny, radości i odradzającej się natury. Prezentują niemal całą gamę kolorów, od białych do prawie czarnych. Są popularne na całym świecie i nierzadko upamiętniają poprzez specjalną „cere- monię chrztu” wybrane wielkie postaci w historii poszczególnych krajów. Nowe odmiany tych niezwykłych, wybranych tulipanów rejestrowane są w Holandii przez Królewskie Powszechne To- warzystwo Uprawy Roślin Cebulowych (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, KAVB) o ponad 150-letniej historii, z siedzibą w Hillegom. Jednym z tych nadzwyczajnych, jedynych tulipanów jest ochrzczony 9 maja tego roku w Teatrze Królewskim w Starej Oranżerii Tulipan „Marszałek Józef Piłsudski”. Jest to tulipan z grupy „Triumph”, o pojedynczym kwiecie, mocnej konstrukcji łodygi i liści. Jego kielich, o specjalnym kolorze karminu połączonego z odcieniem fi oletu i różu, na- wiązuje do kolorystyki elementów munduru Marszałka, czyli do aksamitnych wypustek przy kołnierzu o bardzo zbliżonym kolorze. Ten wytworny w kolorze kwiat ma jeden subtelny element. Na dnie kielicha tulipana, po jego rozkwitnięciu, znaj- dziemy złote wypełnienie, które możemy odczytać jako ukryte AZIENEK KRÓLEWSKICH Ł złote serca Marszałka… Od 9 maja 2018 roku pamięć o Marszałku Józefi e Piłsud- skim będzie trwała także w Ogrodzie Łazienek Królewskich, w rokrocznie zakwitającym wspaniałym, majowym tulipanie Jego Imienia.

  • Mapping Domeyko: a Visual Arts Project Inspired by the Expeditions of Ignacy Domeyko Ignacio Acosta (University of Brighton, U
    Mapping Domeyko: A visual arts project inspired by the expeditions of Ignacy Domeyko Ignacio Acosta (University of Brighton, U. K.), Jakub Bojczuk (London, U. K.) Chile, with its rocky cordillera, overflowing with mineral wealth, holds the largest reserves of copper on the planet Earth. This mineral kingdom was yet to be discovered in 1838 when Domeyko reached Chile, as his arrival coincided with a remarkable phase of development in copper and silver mining in Chile. The country presented itself as an intriguing and exciting land, full of new discoveries and adventures. While main purpose of Domeyko’s work in Chile was to take up a teaching position in Coquimbo, which he carried out with care and dedication, he took full advantage of every opportunity that presented itself in order to explore the Andes mountains. This helped him collect educational material for his students but also satisfied his thirst for knowledge. As Paz Domeyko notes ‘from the moment of his arrival, the nearby mountains and the mines they contained had beckoned to his avid curiosity. No sooner was the school year over than Ignacio left on his first long-awaited excursion to explore them’1. In his numerous field expeditions, particularly frequent during his time teaching in Coquimbo between 1838 and 1847, Domeyko visited, amongst others: the silver mine in Arqueros (1838), the Carrizal copper mine (1840), the Chañarcillo silver mine (1840), the San Pedro Nolasco silver mines (1841), the El Teniente and El Volcano mines (1842) and smaller mines found during his journey to Araucania (1844–1845). These journeys, together with other trips to the Andes carried out less frequently after his relocation to Santiago, resulted in many detailed scientific analysis and publications.
