School chronicles of marginal Localities of Prague
Thořová, Věra
The preserved school chronicles were maintained from the late 19th century. The oldest chronicles begin as far back as 1892. They were not bound by any regulations and were mostly written by the head teacher, motivated by his personal interests. They breathe the peculiar atmosphere of old days and we can find - in addition to descriptions of school events - reports important not only in relation to our learning about the history of a particular village, e. g. date about the social composition of pupils, numbers of children attending school, their sickness and death rate, children´s games, festivals and feasts.
