In conditions of military time the essentially new
politics directed on failure (refusal) of traditional
formal education and a concentration of attention
on practical training was developed. Accordingly,
the job above the new textbook of military time
was conducted. In the meantime, as a temporary
measure, were issued and textbooks, delivered to
the pupil, of an old sample (Gim Sanghun, 2023).
Our attention was attracted with the fact, that
shown on Fig. 4 copies of the textbook was exposed
on-line auction ‘Kobay’. We have assumed, that the
collection interest is connected to records, which are
made by a hand of the schoolboy on the rst page of
a cover. Usual in such cases the conclusion about the
negligent relation is unfair, as the named already
deciency of notebooks forced to use any possible
opportunities. For example, in our native Kharkiv
of lessons at schools have begun on September
1, 1943 all in one week after its liberation of
German occupation. Behind notebooks absence the
schoolboys made them of the old newspapers and
wrote between the lines (Rybalchenko R.K., 2006).
The typographical text on a cover means: 국
민학교 음악 교과서 – textbook of music for primary
school; 문교부 인정 – authorized by Ministry of
education. The records of the schoolboy on a cover
mean: 교안저 – education plan; 저의 노래책 – my
collection of songs; 송인구 – Song In-gu (name).
The rst assumption was, what is it schoolboy
has written down the name. But text on a cover (
교부 인정), can be translated as « the recognition
of ancestors «, «the recognition of the fathers»
and often in Korea is used to the Korean christian
churches pastors.
The search in the Internet on key words «pastor
Song In-gu» has shown presence of tens links really
devoted to well known in Korea pastor Song In-gu
(1922-1997). For example:
- When Rev. Song In-gu was a child, Ms. Park
No-hwan (later a senior deaconess at Changwon
Guksa Presbyterian Church), who was like an aunt
to him, often carried him on her back. Every time,
she would always say, “Please let my baby grow up
to be a pastor.” (Seong-gyeol sinmun 08-23 10:27).
- Rev. Song In-gu Appointed as Senior Pastor, June
30, 1992 (Song-ingu mogsanim wonlomogsachudae).
- In 1949, while Park Jong-man was in his second
year of seminary, he was appointed to Songjeong
Church in Cheongju when Evangelist Song In-gu
took up the post. At his rst ministry, he prayed
and evangelized diligently, and within a year, the
congregation grew from 20 to 60 believers. Soon
after, he received a call to Yongjeong Presbyterian
Church in Cheongwon County and took up the post
there. He studied in Seoul from Tuesday to Friday,
came down on Saturday to visit parishioners, and
preached on Sunday. It was April 1950 (Hangug
sing-gyeolsinmun: 2026-04-18 13:55).
Last citation relates already to the period of
the Korean war and testies to the vigorous activity
of Song In-gu in entire free territory of Republic.
Thus, from the moment of occurrence of the rst
christian churches in Korea their activity did not
concern only to religion. Under the inuence of
Christianity, starting from the late 19th and early
20th centuries, signicant changes took place in the
Korean educational system, including musical and
aesthetic education, and it was they who became the
basis for the formation of the modern structure of
the educational system in the Republic of Korea.
Many christian schools were created which
together with private schools were alternative to
ocial ones during the Japanese occupation down
to liberation in 1945. The activity of christian church
in Republic during the Korean war also of volonyeer
feature.
