Summary/Abstract: This writing approaches, through the methods of cultural studies, the huge differences between new ideas of modern civil development and the real state in which nineteenth-century village schools were to be found. The study leads us through the presentation of a long process during which the church-managed small schools became detached and civil. Working on ecclesiastical documents of four villages of the Kalotaszeg region (Magyarlóna – Luna de Sus, Magyarfenes – Vlaha, Tordaszentlászló – Savadisla, and Magyarléta – Liteni) dating from 1850 – 1909, the study discusses four specifi c questions related to the problems of schooling and of the process of detachment: sustenance of church and school by the inhabitants, confi rmation, Sunday schooling and annual public examination.
