Feliks Fabiani is figure, who became one of the most important citizens of Radomsko, mostly because of his pedagogic work. He was born on 22th of May 1838 in Krzepicach near Cz?stochowa in poor teachers family. That's why he could study in elementary school, then in four-class school in Wielu?. Then he graduated Institute of Schoolteachers in Radzymin. Because young Feliks was studying without charge, he had to work as a teacher in primary school. By the decison of education authority he was directed to Radomsko...

     In 1862 tsar nominated Aleksander Wielkopolski the governor of civil government in Polish Kingdom. For persecuted polish educational system new condition came into existence. New governor brought polish language back to schools. Wielkopolski cared about educational system, and becouse there were not enough money for opening new schools, government gladly agreed to rise private institutions.

     Fabiani's life in Radomsko wasn't all roses (he had to teach in private school and copy records). On 29th May 1862 he received permission to preside over two class boarding school for boys (afterwards extended to four classes). It's task was to prepare pupils to III class of government gimnasium. The building was situated on ?abia (?eromskiego) street.

     Opening of school coincided with outbreak of January Uprising. Fabiani, who was also expected to help insurgents, was waiting in a front of his window for an appeal. Unfortunately he found out that polish forces were defeated. His willingness to help insurrectionists cost him his health, as a result he went down with pneumonia. But this rescued his school from being closed, because he was able to prove that he never belong to outbreak. Then he never agreed to take an action in any cospiracy form.

     Now he could realize his purpose, namely, that is teaching, passing the knowledge, which he got by himself. He involved one teacher-his school friend Ludwik Thulla, and together they were teaching in a house on ?abia street. Thulla's patriotic attitude, diligence and conscientiousness brought him respect and recognition. In Fabiani's school number of pupils was growing very fast. In 1863 it was 85, in 1878 - 142, in 1889 - 180, in 1901 was highest - 308 pupils. Lecture language was Russian. Former pupils had extensive knowledge. They were taught: calligraphy, drawing and arithmetic. In 1896 minor subjects:bookbinding, carpentry were introduced. Pupils spent lot of time on games and play. Most popoular games were: extra,circle,dodgeball, and rounders from time to time.

     Fabiani's activities were supported by local community, when they saw in his work an oppurtunity for their children to develop. He bought bricked house on D?uga (Fabianiego) street - residence of counts Ostrowscy. From this day on school's estate received small park with Chinese bower, yews, larchs, garden and outbuildings. He converted whole fixed property to residential school and built storeyed building with an annexe.

     Even house fire in 1872, which partly destroyed building couldn't stop school from growing.

     In 1862 Fabiani married 16 years old Filipina D?bska. His wife had an important role in process of youth education. She cared for cleanness in school and dormitory. She cooked dinners not only for her husband but also for pupils who came from far villages every day.

     There were a custom in Fabiani's house that everyone who was hungry got a meal. At lunchtime almost everyday poor people from the whole city gathered there to eat something. Some of Fabiani's students were recruited from the streets, most of them didn't have anything to do and were born in underclass. Because he had big pedagogic skills, many of them were saved. They joined school, learned and became other people. In dormitory strict rules had control. Timetable was wisely drew up. Pupils had to obey it absolutely. With the passing of time school prospered much better, thanks to teaching and pedagogic management and wonderful personnel - teachers had secondary or even comparative education.

     In years 1879-1897 post of chief education officer in Warszawski Okr?g Szkolny performed Aleksander Apuchtin, dogged rustficatorof Polish schools. Pupils from many nationalities: Russians, Germans, Polish, Jews attended Fabiani's school. Russian was binding language, but in dormitory students has spoken Polish, they have been reading Polish works, but none of them ever told that to authorities. People were very friendly mannered to Fabiani, because he displayed interest to all fields of life in city. He lived life of growing Radomsko, which greeted community worker with open arms, who knew how to lead many things.

     He was one of founders of Voluntary Fire Brigade. In 23 October 1881 mayor of Radomsko - Ryba with head of Police - Krotkowem called meeting of councillor and workers for voluntary causes, on which they decided about coming VFB into existence. Fabiani became one of a trustees, who for a long time fought for it. In realization of this purpose he was resolute and pertinacious. He drowe to fires, personally managed to puting out the flames. He recruited active and honorable members, and he seeked for equipment.

He was interested in each public enterprise in Radomsko. He was citizen in all meaning of that word, he was valued by youth and adults. In 1888 25th anniversary of his school were celebrated.
