when the Zemstvo was established
there were less than one hundred
schools, mostly on paper. There Were
no normal schools, no teachers to be
had. The Zemstvo went vigorously &c
, work, established normal schools and
rural schools as fast as teachers could
be provided. In 1872 when took office
there were already in the province two
good normal schools and about three
hundred rural schools In 1880, when
1 resigned, the province of Tver had
over eight hundred schools, with about
$4,000 scholars. 1t was little, but If
was something. We figured that if the
rate of that decade could be maintained
in 1900 We could legislate compulsory
education in the province. Some Zemst-
vos did worse, some better, but the cry
was taken up everywhere, and I'M
doubtedly a great deal of good work
was being done.
The Conservatives and the bureau
cracy became alarmed at the progress.
They knew that the Russian people, If
educated, would not tolerate them, and
that unless they could check the prog
ress, their days We're numbered. And
that is where the fight commenced.
ALEXANDER WAS VACILLATING
Alexander IL was a good-hearted,
well-meaning man. He was too easily
influenced by his encourage, was vac
iIIating by nature-a nature full of con-
tradictions While reforming the en-
pire in it's very foundations, he kept,
for many years, as his Minister or PUB
lie Education. Count Dimitrf Tolstoy, a
reactionary of the worst kind, who was
strongly opposed to the education or
the masses. The Zemstvo schools were
a horror to him, and having great
power, he hampered them as much as
possible Inspectors We're appointed by
the ministry, whose duty it was to look
after the teachers and the teaching,
with discretionary power to dismiss
teacher and forbid him to teach else
where
Little by little, the programs OF the
zemstvo schools were abridged, until
thew were confined to reading, writing
and arithmetic. Only certain BOOKS
were allowed in the school libraries
those of an exclusively religious char
acter. If a teacher went beyond TINS
official program. if he tried to really
educate his pupils. he was dismissed,
and secret spies followed his every
step. And the zemstvos We're power
less to help them.
In the course of time. the same sys-
tenn found its way into the treatment
of all the zemstvos employes-physl
clans. statisticians, insurance agents,
road masters, etc. The government re-
garded their every move with suspI- |
cion The zemstvo s personnel, begin
ming with the president, was Stunned,
recognized by the bureaucracy as It's

The island itself was a fat batch of
cheap sand-nothing on it in the
way of vegetation and no place to
land a picnic. When we reached the
spot the deep-sea outing seemed TO
lag. Much of the enthusiasm and
other things had eEaporated and
blended with the sad salt waves. The

one of the NUTS was from Missouri,
