Senatul român, şedinţa de la 26 februarie 1896 (Bucureşti, Tip. Al. lefteriu
and Co. Isopescu, 1896). V.A. urechia did his best to publish textbooks
and the papers on dialects. the first macedo-romanian abecedarium and
other didactic books were used in these schools. 6
Being a cultural man he tried to introduce books with a latin character
in Macedonia. he also tried to send the first romanian religious books in
Gopeşi place. it is Evanghelia which was published in romania, in Buzău
and D. Cosmescu 7 thanked him through a letter.
D. Cosmescu also sends him 19 calligraphy notebooks which belong
to the Aromanian’s children, being written with red and blue ink with the
comment “We want you to see how happy were the children because they
have written in their native language and that why they wrote with red and
blue”.
the political man V.A. urechia shared solidarity with the teachers
and the head of the movement to confront the problems caused by the
patriarch of Constantinopol, by clergies and the Greek authorities. one of
the most persecuted teachers was the school inspector Apostol Margari 8
from Vlaho – Clisura. he was attacked and hurt several times by antarts

teacher: “you – are their founder. And I believe you do not save anybody
from work and no sacrifice for them! you are the only one who takes care
of romanian schools which are founded here and they are your creations
and I am the one who expect everything from you...”

real friend and they shared him their thoughts and joys. he had the same
relationships with the Aromanian descendants who were in the country.
