Notes	Gen.XIV One of the outstanding Catholic social workers in Poland at the commencement of independence in 1918, after the Russian annexation. Her main interest was teaching and the art and science of teaching and she devoted her whole life and fortune to this work. In Warsaw in 1893 the female "Establishment of Countess Plater (for practical occupations), combined with a school of 2 classes, was already in existence. The school was gradually transformed into eight secondary school classes of philology for females with the name "Cecylia Plater-Zyberk". This secondary school in a practical modern structure was located at No. 24 Pius XI Street. It continued until the War despite many difficulties and with a constant struggle to maintain the Catholic character and independence of this excellent school. The other teaching institution established by Cecylia, Ctss Plater-Zyberk and also at her cost, was the Women's House Management School on her small estate (given for this purpose) at Chyliczka in Warsaw. Her crowning activity as a Catholic educator was the initiative shown in motivating a "Revival" among the youth of the University. The movement from that time transformed the arrangements made by the Catholic University of Lublin for "Weekly Catholic Socials". The outbreak of war in 1939 put an end to all of these organisations and establishments. Birth: 1852 according to Pulvis.
