"A display of magnetic fish": Spectacular popularisation of knowledge in Volyn Junior/Senior High School in Krzemieniec
Abstract
Popularisation of knowledge in Volyn Junior/Senior High School in Krzemieniec (1805–1832) was one of the forms of teachers' activity. It enjoyed great fame among the local population, as a spectacle rather than on account of its intellectual value. It took place during the school year and during final public examinations (performances). Numerous audiences gathered at the experimental shows presented by Karol Jentz, professor of physics, as well as at practical gardening sessions conducted in the botanical garden by Karol Witzell, gardener. However, the school authorities had an ambivalent attitude towards this activity. On the one hand, the efforts of teachers were appreciated, on the other hand the spectacular nature of the shows raised serious reservations or even the reluctance of the superiors.
