The nationalism of governmental administration evidently redarded education in schools to be important. Restrictions of the use of the mother tongue among ethnic minorities have been found from the second half of the 19th century. Modernization of schools was accompanied by conservative ambitions. This- process is being examined with the condition of schools in the centre. The secularization plans of 1906 and the surveys connected are also described. In the end detailed particulars of the villages involved in the secularization plan are included. István Király: István Szabó, who originated from Nagyatád and the Small Holders Party between 19 March 19/9 and

30November 19/9. The author explains what happened to István Szabó and the Small Holders Party after 21 March 1919 in the era of proletarian dictatorship. The leader of the Small Holders Party was completely passive and was waiting for more favourable political opportunities. After the fall of the dictatorship a number of big landowners wanted to make István Szabó the scapegoat for the revolutions. As soon as he had resigned from the Cabinet, he had to stand the attacks by the press. At last he had to accept a party fusion that proved to be fatal for himself and for the movement, too. Giving up his political independence started the decline of the party, which was completed by his death in 1924. Pongrác Somssich: Fragments of the memoirs of count László Somssich (1874-1950).
