Category: 1.01 Original scientific paperLanguage: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English) Key words: 1918, Slovenians, culture, educationAbstract: This piece sheds light on the cultural and educational conditions in the Slovenian Lands during the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian. The final months of 1918 were uncertain for teachers, cultural workers, and artists. Almost all the most recognizable Slovenians, among them Izidor Cankar and Rihard Jakopič, emphasized the importance of funding and constructing cultural institutions (university, academy of arts and sciences, national library and national gallery), independent from German capital and influence. The transition into a new state or rather kingdom was by many seen as a unique opportunity for national sovereignty, which can endure only with solid financial support from the new authorities and with the commitment to independent education and all cultural activities.
