Ukrainian Private Gymnasium of the Ukrainian Pedagogical Society in the Town of Horodenka (1909–1914): Establishment and Practical Activities
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article analyzes the activities of the Ukrainian private gymnasium of the Ukrainian Pedagogical Society in the town of Horodenka (1909-1914). The establishment of this educational institution was determined by the need to increase the number of Ukrainians who obtain secondary education, and the remoteness of the region for children to obtain it. The gymnasium was private, as Ukrainians did not always manage to get the authorities to open public educational institutions. Similar Ukrainian private gymnasiums in Eastern Galicia functioned in the cities of Kopychyntsi, Rohatyn and Yavoriv.
During the short period of time of its existence on the eve of the First World War, the educational institution changed its location three times. At first, students were educated in the suburb of Kotikyvka in the building of the «Prosvita» society, then in the premises of the «People’s House» («Narodnyi Dim») in the town of Horodenka, from 1911, students studied in the newly built town school. The recruitment of children to the gymnasium took place every year at the end of the summer through entrance exams, which were preceded by preparatory courses. Ukrainian public associations of the region and caring people provided financial assistance for the maintenance of the educational institution. In 1911, the gymnasium received the right of officialdom, that is, the state recognized student certificates. The material and technical condition of the educational facilities of the institution improved every year. The library, science, physics, geography and other offices, as well as the carpenter’s workshop functioned successfully. The gymnasium even had its own student orchestra. Special attention was paid to the physical education of schoolchildren, students performed gymnastic exercises and went on out-of-town walks. The management of the gymnasium introduced a school savings bank, operated a store and a bookstore. A small museum operated in the educational institution.
The gymnasium had great authority among the educational institutions of Eastern Galicia. The gymnasium was attended by students not only from the Horodenka region, but also from the Kolomyia, Snyatyn, Pechenizhyn, Tovmach, Buchach, Zalishchyky and even distant Lviv, Berezhany and Zboriv counties.
