The article deals with some ideas postulated by Jozef Obrebski, making reference to the opinions of his contemporary Polish scholars on the one hand, and on the other hand to fashionable ideas well-known in sociology and anthropology among some Western scholars today. The latter have now rediscovered the perspective which some fifty years ago was already well established in Polish sociology and ethnology, where, for a number of reasons, questions of the nation and ethnicity have always occupied an important place. Some Polish sociologists have, for a long time, used research methods and concepts which are in fact specific for anthropology. Polish sociology thus offers many research methods and interpretations which in the West belong to anthropology. Obrebski deserves particular attention, by virtue of his inspiring and original combination of interest and experience as an ethnologist and sociologist. He defines the ethnic group as an imagined community, existing in the community consciousness, marked by unique relations with respect to ethnic identity. His approach to ethnicity can be linked and compared to the much later views of Fredric Barth.

In this paper, we examine the problems of education of the children from minority groups which don't have their own education system and have to participate in schools designed for children from majority group. For our research we choose the children from two minority groups: Roma and Vietnamese. Our theoretical backgrounds are the concepts of the reproduction of culture by Pierre Bourdieu and Brasil Bernstein. The paper is based on a qualitative research done among the teachers of Polish schools who teach Roma and Vietnamese children. We examine teachers' point of view: their stereotypes, strategies in dealing with kids of different cultural background. We highlight factors from students' cultural background as well as their socialization process that differ their situation in Polish school. As a result of the research we claim that if children from minority group are to succeed at school they have assimilate to the majority culture, and the success against the school is to keep to the culture of origin.

In the present issue of 'Etyka' the proceedings of the conference held in December 2004 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Maria Ossowska's death are published. It contains the authors papers that were presented as well as short opinions and views of the panel discussants. At the time she begun her academic career Maria Ossowska had to overcome significant difficulties to win recognition in a men's world. It was a time when women started to succeed also in the field of science. On entering this man-dominated world M. Ossowska did not give up her gender. A talented scholar, she always stressed that she was not merely an ethicists but an investigator of morals. Maria Ossowska had the rare ability to reconcile personal sensitivity to human problems, and so to moral phenomena, with a stance of a researcher who analyzes them thoroughly. She did that with admirable independency. It is a difficult and rare ability which in authors' opinion is particularly important now, especially in Poland, where independent thought about morals is almost disappearing. This is a legacy which warrants Maria Ossowska a special place in Polish science.
