Students’ Reading Rooms and Scientific Clubs in the Process of Education and Upbringing of Galician Secondary School Students (in View of School Reports from Years 1904–1917)

Summary/Abstract: An important role in the education and upbringing of students of Galician schools in the early 20th century was played by reading rooms and students’ scientific clubs. The students’ organisation called “Students’ Reading Room” was home to scientific and cultural activity. What began as a place which hosted a collection of books and magazines gave rise to scientific and art clubs, and these played a great role in the process of self-education. Under the guidance of teachers, students were able to expand their knowledge and gather new information by studying the library collections. At a higher level they were encouraged to refer to more specialized literature. Thus, these organisations contributed to developing interests and shaping literary trends among young students. Another aspect of the cultural activity of reading rooms was amateur theatrical performances staged on different occasions.
