This work examines the system of public education in Stavropol Governorate in the period 1804-1917. The present part covers the period 1900-1917, with a focus on the regional characteristics of the development of the governorate's network of educational institutions. The key sources used in putting this work together are the annual Reports on Educational Institutions in the Caucasus Educational District, which provide data on the region's schools run by the Ministry of Public Education, 'The Most Faithful Report of the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod on the Office of the Orthodox Faith', and a set of documents from the Russian State Historical Archive (Saint Petersburg, Russia). Methodologically, wide use was made of the statistical method to identify a set of distinctive characteristics of the development of the system of public education in Stavropol Governorate in the period 1900-1917. The authors' conclusion is that the period between 1900 and 1914 was a time of prosperity for the system of public education in Stavropol Governorate. In this period, the region witnessed an immense increase in the number of secondary, lower, and, especially, primary educational institutions. In large part, this was linked with the activity of the Ministry of Public Education regarding preparation for the introduction of compulsory primary education. This activity resulted in a sharp increase in government spending on education, which would enable establishing multiple new educational institutions and recruiting the required teaching workforce. The timely completion of the project was hindered only by World War I. [For Part 1 of the series, see EJ1262685. For Part 2 of the series, see EJ1272405.]
