Abstract
After the Lithuanian press ban had been lifted and the Lithuanian language became the language of instruction in schools, it became very important to publish new textbooks that conformed with national interests and the latest achievements in sciences and pedagogy.
Textbooks published at the end of the 19,h century and the beginning of the 20’h century have been used in Lithuanian schools since 1905: "Naujas elementorius" by A. Krikščiūnas, "Elementorius" by P. Vileišis, "Žiupsnelis" by L. Ladislavas (V. Laumianskis), "Vaikų skaitymėliai" by J. Juškytė, "Aritmetikos uždavinių ir pavyzdžių rinkinys" by P. Bendoriusand P. Daugirdas. Until 1915 the publication of textbooks was limited because there was no money and little demand. Lithuanian as the language of instruction was used only in primary schools. However, the situation changed when Germany occupied Lithuania in the summer of 1915. Lithuanian gymnasiums were founded in Vilnius, Kaunas, Panevėžys, and they needed new textbooks. Lithuanian Society of Sciences contributed much to the writing and publication of these textbooks. About 56 textbooks were prepared for publication in 1915- 1918. This work was, in the first place, financed by a publications fund, established in 1908. Some money was borrowed from the National Housing Fund and from the society to aid war victims. Teachers and specialists from different fields of sciences participated in this activity: A. Smetona, P. Klimas, J. Šaulys, M. Biržiška, A. Janulaitis and others.
As a result, almost all primary and secondary schools were provided with printed textbooks; publication of textbooks for special schools was initiated. A majority of the textbooks became popular and were repeatedly published after some additions and alterations. For example, there were seven editions of "Skaitymų knyga" by P. Klimas, and eight editions of "Lietuvių kalbos sintaksė". After the restoration of independence some of these textbooks were published by the Ministry of Education.
The work accomplished by Lithuanian intelligentsia in writing and publishing textbooks laid foundations for the national pedagogical system and for the strengthening of statehood in education.
