"Zátka's grammar school" from 1884 - 1914 in the city of České Budějovice
SMETANOVÁ, Jiřina
This proposed thesis is dedicated to the development of "Zátka's grammar school" from 1884 - 1914 in the city of České Budějovice. The goal of this first work is to explore the establishment of this school that ceased educating youth more than half a century ago. The grammar school arose in response to the controversies among Czech-german society which influenced the education of the czech youth not only in the southern Bohemia but elsewhere. This thesis is based on thorough and careful studies of specialized literature and archival materials stored in the State District Archives in České Budějovice. It consists of nine chapters that are further divided into two major sections. The first chapter is dedicated to the history of the city of České Budějovice and the development of education in general, with special attention given to education within the city itself and to the well-known celebrity and initiator of the Czech grammar school, August Zátka. This section thus provides the historical context necessary for the ensuing chapters. The second part addresses the establishment and growth of the Czech grammar school in České Budějovice. Moreover, this part is especially dedicated not only to the students of the school, but also to the teachers who taught there during the period with which this thesis is concerned. Overall, this thesis offers new insights about the "great history" of the school: its origin, development, and importance, in particular, its establishment in the South Bohemian Region. Additionally, this thesis provides the reader with many interesting facts about the daily activities within the grammar school.
