Abstract

The specific examples disclosed relationships between B. Hrinchenko and H. Alchevska in the late XIX – early XX century, when both were active in the field of public education, particularly in Oleksiivka rural school in Katerynoslav province. It is shown that different national ideological principles and beliefs do not allow the both teachers to become associates in the main – purpose of education and led to strained relations between the two figures. Relations with H. Alchevska are the valuable source for understanding B. Hrinchenko’s the social and educational views.
