RUSSIAN SCHOOL
SYSTEM FACING
DEMORAL |zAT|ON
The Commissar Is Endeav-
oring to Preserve the
Schools by EdiCts But it
Is a Difficult Task.

Petrograd, Nov. 10 (by a Staff
Correspondent of the Associated
Press. )-Russia's school system has
suffered in the general breakdown
of the economic system. Lunachar-
sky, the commissar for education,
is endeavoring to correct and pre-
serve the free schools by edicts, but
IL is a difficult task.
A great majority of the schools
in the famine districts are not
opening, and it is extremely doubt
full whether they can be opened this
year. Even in the great cities IKE
Moscow and Petrograd, 1t is doubt
full whether they can continue I'M
less reorganiza ton proceeds with
great rapidity and energy.
In an effort to keep the schools
going, parents have made contrl-
buttons to teachers in the way or
money and food and the children
have often carried wood daily to
the schools to keep warm. BOOKS
paper. pencils an other supplies
have been lacking.
Lunacharsky says in a recent
statement that the cheka, or COM
mission for the prevention OF
counter-revolution insists that the
schools must be kept free OF pa
rental influence. To accomplish
this he announces that the govern
ment will name committees in each
locality to take charge Of the
schools and will empower these
committees to collect money from
the parents who are able to pay.
This step is in line with the gem
eral decentralization policy winch
the government is endeavoring to
carry out since it altered its eco
nomic policy and went back to DO
nestle free trade. Fads which
were introduced in many of the
schools have very largely disap-
peared. Many of the teachers were
extreme idealists in the earlier days
of the soviet government and en-
deavored to work many tnnoVa-
lions.
The plan of having school chill
dren do all the janitor work in the
schools resulted in such unsanitary
conditions that it was abandoned in
many places and charwomen came
back.
The schools are badly crowded
In Moscow most of the small chill
dren go to school from 8 until
and the older children go in the
afternoon and remain until p. m.

inadequate salaries, teachers work
in as many schools as possible with
the result that there are often de-
lays in classes. The meals which
the government supplies to school
children when food is available are
prepared in central kitchens and
carried by children in large vessels
to the schools, Frequently the
meals are late and the school
schedule is irregular.
The fear which communist
parents had at one time that the
would endeavor to take
their children away from them has
apparently disappeared completely
with the announcement of the new
policy, or even be-
fore that was announced.
