STREET SCHOOL IN RUSSIA
Bolshevists Are Busy In Crazy Schemes
Of Education.

London Times cable service [Copyright 1919. by
Public Ledger Col to The Sioux city Tribune.
lONOON.-(by mail.)-While the
position of the Russian bolshevists is
becoming more and more precarious,
their propaganda activities show no
sign of diminishing. In November the
Russian official telegram agency, under
bolshevist management. introduced a
new type Of newspaper for the masses.
1t is printed in large type on n side
OF the paper only. and is posted on
boardings, walls and houses at every
street corner.
In order to popularize the bolshevist
leaders, their methods and slogans, the
bolshevists nave began u systematic
remaining of Moscow streets and
squares.
Not content with revoiutionizing the
whole social political system of Russia,
the bolshevists are busying themselves
with crazy experiments in education.
The IZvestys describes the new system
as a street university invented by the
bolshevist municipal council at We're
nezh. Each of the principal thorough
fares Of this town is described as a fac
ulty of laws, economics. history, litera-
ture, science, etc. Walls of streets are
placarded with posters containing the
portraits and brief biographies of men
distinguished in one branch of knowl-
edge and brief items of information
concerning a given subject. The organ
of the bolshevists' government. COM
menting on his, says:
Every citizen, instead Of spending
years at a university. can pick up a
general knowledge Of the principal ed
ucational subjects as he goes along"
This n similar innovations are
given serious attention by the bolshe-
visit press in which who'll columns are
devoted to their discussion.
