Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes in an article in a chronological issue of the dispute, which in years 1924-1939.<br> In the article the author analyzes in chronological order (from 1924 to 1939) the issue of the dispute between catholic weekly magazine “Gość Niedzielny” and the opponents, regarding the education in the Upper Silesia, especially in terms of the elements of Catholic education. One of the consequences of granting autonomy by the Polish Government to the Upper Silesia was allowing the region to organize their education system on different basis than in other areas of the country. While laying foundations for the Polish school the Upper Silesia authorities agreed to demands of the large indigenous catholic population. At the beginning of the process of returning Upper Silesia to Poland, the education system there was organized on similar principles to the church schools. Catholic weekly magazine “Gość Niedzielny” became the propagator of thus defined schools. However, those kind of schools and their distinct character found also numerous opponents grouped within the Polish Teachers’ Union and Reform Camp.
