At the beginning of the 19th century in Upper Silesia there was no museum yet. Higher secondary schools were the most appropriate public places to deposit the relics of material culture, including Roman coins; lecturers would have used coins as aids in their work with students. This article discusses the collections of Roman coins in three secondary higher schools in Upper Silesia: in Cieszyn (Teschen), Głubczyce (Leobschutz) and Racibórz (Ratibor). The collection of the higher secondary in Cieszyn is the oldest one, its beginnings dating back to the second half of the 18th century and connected with a Jesuit, Father Leopold Szersznik, who opened a library and museum in the Cieszyn secondary higher school. It housed also Roman coins. The collection grew thanks to the work of successive custodians. In the years 1815-31 Albin Heinrich catalogued the collection which at that time comprised at least 97 Roman coins. His successors Carl Schwarz and Josef Chris added new coins to the collection. The 1871 inventory includes 786 coins. Despite such a large number of collected coins it is not possible to specify the finding places. A thorough analysis of the collection points out that it came into being by means of painstakingly selected purchases. Thus the coins had probably not been found in Silesia. Unfortunately we do not know which finds they came from. On the other hand we do know the provenience of a large part of about 150 Roman coins (denari and aurei) in the collection of the Głubczyce secondary higher. Almost all of them come from the collection of commissar Mader, who noted their finding places. Many of them can be associated with Nowa Cerekwia (Bieskau) and the neighbouring localities. Roman coins had been also collected since 1819 by the Royal-Evangelical Higher Secondary in Racibórz. Owing to the activity of its two headmasters, Carl Linge and Eduard Haenisch, 99 Roman coins found their way to the collection. In case of 32 of them it was possible to specify their finding places: the vicinity of Racibórz, Głubczyce and other localities in Upper Silesia. Comparing the way Roman coins were purchased by particular schools, one might notice that the Głubczyce Secondary Higher was given a donation by a private person in the form of 150 Roman coins. Thus the collection may be called commissar Mader's. The collections of Cieszyn and Racibórz came into being in a completely different way. This was the result of long and thorough collecting works of people connected with the schools in question. At present the Cieszyn collection is kept in the local museum. Those of Racibórz and Głubczyce do not exist any more.

The article presents the causes and spatial differences of infant mortality in eastern Prussia densely populated by the Polish, and the changes that phenomenon was subject to. The research has been carried out mainly on the numeric data juxtaposed and published by Dr Behr-Pinnow, on official statistical material (Preußische Statistik, Statistikdes Deutschen Reichs, Veröffentlichungen des Kaiserlichen Gesundheitsamts) and on unpublished archival material, first of all reports of Regierungsbezirk presidents. Infant mortality has been analysed at three levels of data aggregation: provinces, Regierungsbezirke, counties (Kreise). In the research the following devices have been used: coefficients, averaging of several years, (dis)similarity rates of structures (the reference standard – Regierungsbezirk Aurich), weighted linear regression, cartograms (grouping based on median absolute deviation). The article depicts the tendency for infant mortality in the ‘Polish’ Regierungsbezirke of Prussia, which deteriorated at the beginning of the 20th century, and a significant spatial diversification of the phenomenon in question, which was related to the way of farming (especially in the region of Żuławy Wiślane and the Vistula valley); however, the research has not provided any conclusive evidence of a link between a high infant mortality rate in the area in question and the socio-professional structure, the level of affluence or the infrastructure. On the other hand, thanks to linear regression models it has been proved that the intensity of infant mortality in counties depended on the ethnic composition to a significant degree (the faith did notplay any role). Parallel to an increase of the Polish- and Kashubian-speaking populations (those populations – it is worth mentioning – usually enjoyed lower socio-economic status compared to their German-speaking neighbours) the infant mortality rate was generally decreasing. It was at the lowest level in Greater Poland, in the counties of Kościan, Gostyn and Śmigiel (where the dominant population was Polish, Catholic and rural). All in all, it is justified to say that the Polish- and Kashubian-speaking populations that were less advanced in demographic transformation compared to their German-speaking neighbours, even before institutionalising social welfare, provided better care for babies and guaranteed a lower infant mortality rate, first of all thanks to the general and longer breastfeeding.
