Summary/Abstract: The article analyses activities of Paja Radosavljević (1879 — 1958), a Serb teacher, educator and psychologist, who obtained two PhDs and was Professor of the University of New York, in Croatia at the beginning of the 20th century. The focus is on his relationship with Croatian teachers and Croatian association of educators and writers, the publisher of his books for which he earned his place in the history of psychology and education sciences in Croatia. His psychological and educational works and ideas that he promoted were perhaps premature for Croatian community of educators of that time. However, they significantly contributed to transferring of contemporary global trends in education science and to widening and deepening of general worldviews and knowledge of Croatian teachers and educators.
