Irena Sedej – Pečenko: How the museum collection at the primary school in Mengeš developed
Abstract
The School Chronicle continues to publish short notices about school anniversaries in order to make schools aware of their age. We find information about school anniversaries in the files of our documentation departments and by checking various primary and secondary sources. In this way we contribute to preserving the history of schools and their surroundings. In addition to details on individual schools – i.e. the date when provisional or regular classes began – we also publish the name of the first teacher and the construction date of the school building. All this information will be published for schools celebrating their anniversaries in 2006.
Abstract
The article describes the school years of the most significant Carniolan astronomer, August Hallerstein (1703 – 1774), and the scientific support he received in his local environment. We show that Carniolan schools gave Hallerstein a solid enough educational basis for his subsequent scientific contributions.

Abstract
The problems that accompanied the teaching of classical languages already during the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy continued after WWI when a new state was established. As soon as the situation in schools settled down, the opponents of classical studies raised their voices and once again broached the question of cutting the number of teaching hours devoted to Latin and Greek languages.

Golden and Black Books at the Slovenian School Museum
Abstract
In the history of education, punishment – and in particular corporal punishment – was a preferred means for a long time, while rewards and praise were relatively rare. In Slovenian educational theory, very little is written about praise and rewards versus reprimand and punishment as means of education and motivation.
The new efforts and views gradually came to the forefront during the Enlightenment, when in Austria rewards also became more popular and punishment, especially corporal punishment, began to be abandoned or only used exceptionally. Amongst the different forms of praise and reprimands used in Slovenia two types should be singled out: entering a student’s name in the Book of Honour (or Golden Book) or the Book of Shame (or Black Book). Today, the Slovenian School Museum keeps the largest collection of these books (65 Golden Books and 5 Black Books) containing the names of the best and worst students in Ljubljana.

Holidays, wake up!
Abstract
The contribution is a summary of a research paper prepared on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the school building in Majšperk. The history of the school is discussed in the light of public holidays at school. In the last 100 years, national, political and ideological changes have also led to frequent alterations to school holidays. Every new state and political system has thus introduced new bank holidays to the school timetable.

The story of the ‘History of the Culture of Teaching in Antiquity’
Abstract
The article acquaints us with a book that remained unpublished for almost 60 years and is, as such, a genuine witness to the initial years following WWII. A 1946 review of the book written by Dr. Aleš Ušeničnik is attached. The review and other works by Ozvald help us show that the book could not be any different from what it was, as it was written in the years of horror between 1941 and 1945.

The tradition of the head teacher's profession in Slovenia on the 10th anniversary of the Head Teacher Leadership School 1995-2005
Abstract
The article describes the history of head teachers' education in Slovenia since 1995. It does not confine itself to a chronological overview of the activities of the Head Teacher Leadership School, which is a public institution organising training for head teachers, but it also discusses the transfer of leadership know-how in today’s globalised world and the factors that affect the training and knowledge of head teachers. Views on the particularities of school management in Slovenia and its tradition in this area are presented. Different forms of training, the introduction of head teacher examinations and the development of the Head Teacher Leadership School are described. An overview of head teacher training, the school network, publications and international projects as well as the development of postgraduate studies are given in connection with an analysis of approaches to leadership training.
