Dr. Stella Chantzi
ABSTRACT:
The article deals with the executives of the Educational Association “Ekpaideftikós Omilos “(EO) at the beginning and during of its operation, from 1910 to 1930, in Greece. The Educational Association had founded by well-known and prominent people of the time, with the main purpose of improving Greek education and language and educational reform. Founders and executives sought to diffuse reformist ideas from the aristocratic society of their time. They faced several difficulties in cooperation, collecting the prejudice of the others while in 1920 Triantafyllidis leaves the Group for reasons of not getting along with Glinos. After 1920-1922, new ideological upheavals posed intense concerns to the speakers and contributed to its disintegration and later dissolution. The pioneers of the Group seemed quite concerned about the Idea of demoticism, their individual action was intertwined with the composition of their forces, although the contribution and distinct roles of the three are recognized, at the same time the particularly important presence of Glinos in the attempts at reform was clear.
