1918 Slovak schools againZnova slovenské školy

Czechoslovakia was declared in 1918, and Revúca found itself, forty-four years after the closure, in a state where a child could be taught in Slovak as a matter of course. The old iron trade had by then been overtaken: the big furnaces stood at Tisovec and down the Rimava valley, in the hands of one large company, and small charcoal ironworking had no future anywhere. Revúca settled into being a market town for the upper valley whose chief asset was the memory of its own school.Roku 1918 vzniklo Československo a Revúca sa štyridsaťštyri rokov po zatvorení školy ocitla v štáte, kde bolo samozrejmé učiť deti po slovensky. Staré železiarstvo medzitým prekonali: veľké pece stáli v Tisovci a nižšie v Rimavskej doline a patrili jedinej veľkej spoločnosti, drobné drevouhoľné hámre nemali budúcnosť nikde. Revúca sa usadila v úlohe trhového mesta hornej doliny, ktorého najväčším majetkom je pamäť na vlastnú školu.
