The article deals with the political activity of the schoolchildren, professors and students in Carniola in the initial years of constitutional life in Austria from 1861 to 1867. After the abolition of Bach's absolutism, amongst other nationality demands increased in which schoolchildren and students were active as well. The authorities were sensitive to anything that intended to stress the national, Slovene; thus, the police had hands full of work by supervising all those activities and reported on them to the superior authorities. Schoolchildren were for their activities usually given discipline punishment while the political authorities inflicted heavier punishment on nationally active teachers and professors upon whom they had limited influence in the mentioned period due to the concordat, and with the Church not at all times ready to listen to the demands of the secular authorities.
