The
purpose of a trade or mercantile school (a two-class business school) was to
provide those embarking on professional sales or other related professions,
with educational training in commercial courses, both specific and general.
Instruction was in Polish.
For
acceptance, students had to submit their birth or baptismal certificates, prior
school records, and written parental
(or their representative’s) permission.
Upon
graduation the students received certification regarding their behavior and
grades while attending school. Those students who left during the school year
(prior to graduation) received a certificate indicating only that they attended
school but did not graduate.
There
weren’t any certification of completion exams prior to graduation. The school’s
director and teaching staff decided if the pupils had achieved their
educational goals.
