Abstract
The work gives an illustration of Croatian school system development in the Cres-Lošinj area from 1870 to 1918. The times were marked by the battle for national schools, while the political and school authorities were making impossible, or at least postponing, the opening of schools in the Croatian language. Since it is impossible to mention every case in the battle for national schools in particular, for there is no corresponding information on this, the progress of the battle will be shown with some of the most pronounced examples, which difficulties were encountered and how the desires, demands and needs of the inhabitants were gradually and painstakingly realized. Those few examples with data and details will vividly illustrate the entire foreign and also national school policy, for it was implemented in the same or similar manner throughout the entire island area.
