The Wish of the Paliashuks

The Pinsk congress of the "Wyzwolenie" people demanded instruction in the local languages, but in Polish schools, and the author asks who will teach Belarusian if the teachers are Galicians.

The Wish of the Paliashuks

At the congress of delegates from the "Wyzwolenie" organizations in Pinsk on 5 May, among other demands, one was put forward for teaching the local languages in elementary schools, but "without harm to the Polish language, as the state language".

The head of the Polish "left", Mr. Thugutt, was also present at this congress. As can be seen, the "Wyzwolenie" people are trying to substitute for the wish for Belarusian schools the permission to teach Belarusian in Polish schools.

But who will teach it? Surely the same Galician teachers who don't know a word of Belarusian?!
