SPORT, THE NOTION OF MODERN, TIME - APPROPRIATE PHYSICAL EDUCATION (History of sports societies in Ljubljana in the view of the societies rule books)

Sport as an activity and a sports club as an organizational form of the modern era have entered the Slovene national and cultural space in the second half of the 19(th) century. The organizing of sports societies, which is related to the common societies development after the cessation of the Bach neo-absolutism, has contributed to the increasing recognition and identification of "sport" - the physical culture novelty in the domain of the "physical education" of that day. In this article, we are focused on organizing societies and clubs according to the sources from the archives - the "card index of societies" stored in the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia, and we then follow the "revival of sport" after World War I based on the example of sports organizing in Ljubljana - which became a leading town in Slovenia at the end of the 19(th) century and the capital after World War I. In the archive material are preserved the society rule books, the rules that had to by law be submitted to the administrative authorities to be approved. Articles of the rule book gives us an insight to when these societies were established, how they were constituted, and the articles on society's termination, tell us about the opinion or interest backgrounds of the founders.
