\u00cen aceast\u0103 comun\u0103 se afl\u0103 pre\u0163iosul monument, Monastirea Cotmeana (devenit\u0103 acum biseric\u0103 de mir), ce ni-a l\u0103sat ilustrul Domnitor Rom\u00e2n Mircea Basarab, \u00een memoria uneia din biruin\u0163ele ce a repurtat contra o\u015ftirilor du\u015fmane. Din zidirile acestui templu sacru, de unde alt\u0103dat\u0103 Heroul de la Rovine, etc., insufla de multe ori respectul c\u0103tre vr\u0103jma\u015fii \u0163\u0103rei, \u015fi de unde mai \u00een urm\u0103 se r\u0103spundeau cu profusiune faptele caritabile, noi, ob\u015ftea acestor locuri respectabile, am socotit c\u0103 acum e bine s\u0103 se r\u0103sp\u00e2ndeasc\u0103, de aci, puternicele raze ale luminei \u015fi culturei, prin cari fiii s\u0103tenilor \u2013 cu ai c\u0103rora stremo\u015fi Marele Mircea realisa faptele cele mari \u2013 s\u0103 poat\u0103 deveni oameni onesti \u015fi demni de str\u0103bunii lor.<\/p>\n
Pentru aceea, acum doi ani, dup\u0103 cererea ob\u015ftei \u015fi prin concursul celor ce voiesc luminarea s\u0103tenilor, s-a \u015fi \u00eenfiin\u0163at \u00een \u00eenc\u0103perile acestei Monastire o scoal\u0103 de b\u0103e\u0163i, unde, pre l\u00e2ng\u0103 copiii comunei, sunt interna\u0163i preste 20 copii din satele vecine, cari studiaz\u0103 cu succes, \u015fi al c\u0103rora num\u0103r se adaog\u0103 anualmente.<\/p>\n
