On the pages of theanalyzed magazines the issues associated with the cooperation of school with the family of the student were raised. Its causes were searched for, it was attempted to justify it with the broad socio-cultural determinants, changes of family and school as an institutionof teaching and education. The objectives, content, forms and principles of this cooperation were also considered.By publishing the examples of the building of a proper relationship between school and home and the ideas on the formation and organization of co-operation of the families of students and primary and middle schools, attempts were made to formulate general laws of mutual relations between school and home. Authors publishing on the pages of the official journals education department of each school district raised the importance of the cooperation with home as one of the key factors of school work.Some of the articles had a reporting character while the others were postulating, forecasting,calling for the changes in the cooperation of school and home.The analyzed journals played an important role in the 1930s in Poland in popularizing the cooperation of school and home and explaining its various issues: formal andlegal, organizational, social and educational.
