Dr Mihkel Eller remembers Hugo Treffner and his school

Doktor Mihkel Eller meenutab Hugo Treffnerit ja tema kooli

In 1908 a young man from Rõngu parish went to Tartu to study at Hugo Treffner's private gymnasium, one of the few schools where Estonian boys could get a secondary education. Decades later, as Dr Mihkel Eller, he recalled the stern and famous headmaster, life at the school and the song festival of 1910. The recording was reused in 2002 to open a season of 'Kirjutamata memuaare', together with other old voices from the radio's shelves.

Eesti keeles

1908. aastal läks Rõngu valla noormees Tartusse õppima Hugo Treffneri erakgümnaasiumi, ühte vähestest koolidest, kus eesti poisid said keskhariduse. Aastakümneid hiljem meenutas ta doktor Mihkel Ellerina ranget ja kuulsat koolijuhti, elu koolis ja 1910. aasta laulupidu. Salvestust kasutati 2002. aastal „Kirjutamata memuaaride“ hooaja avasaates koos teiste vanade häältega raadio lindiriiulilt.
