Lectures and meetings are the most

There are meeting by the thousands

little else to do but go to meeting In
the evening, aside from limited
number of theaters.
Cafes, to which the Russians used

soviet government. Restaurants and

are served lectures on socialism, COM

merly street agitators in America and
England, who are engaged as educa-
tors of the people. To attract people
to these meetings the most noted
singers, musicians and dancers give

bolshevik education. Public places
and clubs have been confiscated for
the meeting places. In Moscow the

The education program, considered
by bolshevik leaders to be far in ad-

practically takes the raising and edu-

NEW YORK, July 14.--More people

sheviks want people to know how to
read in order to facilitate the spread
of the "communistic gospel" A wide
spread definite system of education is
being put into effect, not only for
youngsters, but also for the elders.
The bolsheviks have established
schools that are a wide departure from
anything known in Russia heretofore.
Many features are not radically differ
ent from elementary American
schools, which the Russians are copy
ing.
The first feature to go by the board
in Russia was religion. Schools were
formerly conducted by priests and the
curriculum was two-thirds religion and
one-third education. This order is re-
versed now. The bolsheviks are teach
