Founder of "educational homes for brought children and hospitals for poor mothers"

I.I. Betskoy owe their appearance to the Orphanages in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The project for the construction of the Moscow Orphanage for 8000 children was drawn up by I.I. Betsky in 1763, planning a new educational institution for Russia, he set himself the main task - to save the children of low-income families and illegitimate children who "are born in extreme poverty, are abandoned by their parents and are betrayed to blind chance." In his note, signed on August 26, 1763, he asked the Empress to allocate a place in the center of Moscow, the so-called "Garnet Dvor", to build a house. By the hand of Catherine II, it is inscribed "Be according to this." The report by I.I. Betskoy consisted of 6 chapters: On the chiefs and servants of the orphanage; about babies accepted to the foster home; about a hospital for poor women in childbirth; about the amount required for this institution; about rewarding and punishment; on the privileges of an educational institution.

В статье рассматриваются вопросы оказания социальной помощи учащимся гимназий Рязанской губернии в конце XIX — начале XXвека, система существовавших мер материальной поддержки успешных учеников из малообеспеченных семей как инструмент по созданию условий для завершения ими полного курса обучения. Выделены и проанализированы основные виды материальной помощи, такие как освобождение от платы за обучение, назначение стипендий, предоставление бесплатного жилья и горячих завтраков, обеспечение учебниками и ученическими принадлежностями. Показана совместная деятельность государственных, местных и общественных институтов по оказанию финансовой и вещевой помощи гимназистам из бедных семей. Сделан вывод об эффективности существовавшей системы помощи и необходимости дальнейшего исторического исследования проблемы социальной помощи гимназистам с целью использования положительного опыта в современных условиях.

And Function

The article studies the process of establishment of Andronyk Stepovych Kyiv Private Boys Gymnasium in 1906–1913s. The analysis is made on the materials of archival documents of the funds of Manuscript Institute of Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The problems that Anronyk Stepovych, the founder of the institution, faced are indicated. The features of the functioning of the gymnasium and its place in the educational process of Kiev at the beginning of the 20th century are shown. Having founded a gymnasium, Andronyk Stepovych tried to improve the educational level of the youth in the region. Special efforts were aimed at attracting children from low-income families to the educational process. Realizing this plan, he had to overcome many organizational, administrative, material, and other difficulties. The introduction of self-management in the institution at the level of teachers and students was one of the important tasks that the gymnasium set itself. However, the tough and inconsistent policy of the Ministry of Public Education did not allow to do this as well as prohibited any independence for private educational institutions. In addition, every year the Kyiv private gymnasium lost a number of privileges, which made the work of the gymnasium impossible. The management and staff of Kyiv educationaldistrict body with their belated orders, meticulous inspections brought the gymnasium to almost complete destruction. As a result, the gymnasium operated in 1906–1913. Over the years, more than a thousand children acquired education at the educational institution where by Andronyk Stepovych Kyiv Private Boys Gymnasium made its contribution to the growth of the number of educated youth of Kyiv region.

Abstract. Introduction: Foods dense in micronutrients are generally more expensive than those with higher energy content. These cost-differentials may put low-income families at risk of diminished micronutrient intake. Objectives: We sought to determine differences in the cost for iron, folate, and choline in foods available for purchase in a low-income community when assessed for energy content and serving size. Methods: Sixty-nine foods listed in the menu plans provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for low-income families were considered, in 10 domains. The cost and micronutrient content for-energy and per-serving of these foods were determined for the three micronutrients. Exact Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for comparisons of energy costs; Spearman rho tests for comparisons of micronutrient content. Ninety families were interviewed in a pediatric clinic to assess the impact of food cost on food selection. Results: Significant differences between domains were shown for energy density with both cost-for-energy (p < 0.001) and cost-per-serving (p < 0.05) comparisons. All three micronutrient contents were significantly correlated with cost-for-energy (p < 0.01). Both iron and choline contents were significantly correlated with cost-per-serving (p < 0.05). Of the 90 families, 38 (42 %) worried about food costs; 40 (44 %) had chosen foods of high caloric density in response to that fear, and 29 of 40 families experiencing both worry and making such food selection. Conclusion: Adjustments to USDA meal plans using cost-for-energy analysis showed differentials for both energy and micronutrients. These differentials were reduced using cost-per-serving analysis, but were not eliminated. A substantial proportion of low-income families are vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies.
