The inhabitants of the mountain range Slemen, the centre of which is St. Gregor, got their school relatively late: in 1859 only, during the period that has been called in the school history “concordat schools”. The development of this originally one-class school and later two-class school bears no special significance; still, it is a good illustration of the circumstances in the field of education in Austria-Hungary, Old Yugoslavia, during the National Liberation period and after it. Typical of this St. Gregor school is that, as a| rule, young teachers were coming there immediately after they had finished their studies; nevertheless, some of them later developed into recognized pedagogical and public workers.
