List Mikołaja Białkowskiego do króla Prus Fryderyka Wilhelma III w sprawie posady nauczyciela szkoły we wsi Węgra (1802 r.)

New East Prussia was a poor and neglected province, both in economic and cultural sense. Village schools offered poor quality of education, due to lack of appropriately qualified teachers. Filling teaching positions in New East Prussia rural schools was not an easy task; people employed there usually did not meet the requirements of the profession. Position of a village teacher was often a sort of retirement for old soldiers in poor health. The published document is a complaint of one of such teachers, Mikołaj Białkowski, against the local Schultheiß. The complaint is addressed to the King of Prussia and includes a request for guaranteed exclusive right to teach children in Węgra village in Przasnysz county
