same procedure is then FOLLOWED at
each successive meeting of the class
until the end of the course.
|lHEHEN this method is employed it
WV is not advisable to have indis-
criminate discussion in the class, as
this will almost invariably divert the
attention of the class from the imme-
date subject in hand and destroy the
possibility of consecutive instruction.
For teacher to conduct class ac-
cording to this method he must take
it firmly in hand, establish his au-
thority at the very beginning, and
maintain it turnout the. course. Moth
ing is more fatal to the success of
such class than for the opinion to
grow up amongst some of the stud
ents that the teacher knows less
than they do about the subject. For
he will then be unable to maintain the
proper discipline in the class and hold
it to its course. Whenever a study
class, organized for the purpose of
consecutive study of certain aspect
of Communist theory or tactics, be-
gins to resolve itself into a group
for general discussion or a debating
society, its early demise can be conf
IDENTIFY expected.
|DEADING and Discussing the text
IN This method also works out very
well, especially in elementary classes.
In this method, as in all others, how
ever, the first prerequisite is class
leader who takes a responsible atti-
tude towards the work and who takes
Lit upon himself to organize and lead
the class and hold it down to the
matter in hand. This class leader
should by all means thoroly study the
text before the class commences and
make himself master of it.
THE class conducted according to
this method proceeds by the
class leader calling upon the stud
ents, one after another, to read a few
sentences or paragraph from the
text. After each student finishes
reading the part assigned to him, the
leader asks the student who has read
the passage to explain it in his own
words. If he fails to bring out the
meaning clearly or interprets the
passage incorrectly, the question is
directed to other students, the leader
himself finally intervening to clarity
the matter if necessary.
DROCEEDING along this line the
| class will cover chapter or SO of
the text each evening. Before the read
ing commences each time, the leader
should conduct a brief quiz a the
class on the part of the text dealt
with on the preceding evening in
order to bring out the points clearly
for the second time, refresh the mem

How to Organize and Conduct Study Class

class by all students must be con-
stantly stressed, and the party com
mittee and the leader of the class
must constantly fight against the
tendency, which always grows up, to
regard the study class as series of
lectures at which one can drop in"
whenever he feels like it. Good re-
suits can only be obtained when the
class is an organized body and is reg
ularly attended by the same students.
Methods Of Conducting Classes
THE methods of conducting the
| classes which have proved most
successful from past experience can be
roughly divided into two general meth
DDS. These methods may be modified
and varied in many ways, according to
local circumstances, experience and
qualifications of the teacher, etc.
These two methods are:
1. The lecture-question method.
2. The method of reading from and
discussing the text in the class.
THE Lecture-Question method. This
| is the method most frequently en-
ployed by experienced teachers, and
one which yields the most satisfac-
tory results if qualified comrades can
be found to conduct the class along
this line. The use of this method pre-
supposes that the teacher, who is him
self thoroly familiar with the subject
matter Of the text, possesses some
ability and experience as lecturer. 1t
is not necessary, however, for him
to be a professional. The average
Communist who has a firm grasp of
his subject will find that with little
practice he can succeed in holding the
attention of a class.
Il TUDER this method the teacher de-
~ livers a lecture for the period of
about one hour on some phase of the
general subjects dealt with in the
text. In addition he requires the
students to read, outside the class, in
connection with his lecture, certain
portions Of the text and sometimes
portions of other books which deal
with the same subject. When the class
comes together for the second time
it is opened with question period of
about thirty minutes during which
the lecturer quizzes the stu Tents on the
foy of .I~S~
lecture and the reading in connection
with it. 1t is best to have short
recess at the end of the question per-
iod in order to get fresh start for
the lecture. A lecture of about an
hour then completes the evenings
work. Again sections of the text are
referred to the students for reading
in connection with the lecture. The

THE problem of educational work
l is many sided. Enthusiasm for this
work among the party members must
be aroused and maintained. A general
recognition of its fundamental import
ance must be established. 1t must be
organically connected with the life and
struggles of the party, and must not
become academic and sterile. And it
must be conducted in a systematic
manner, becoming an established part
of the life of the party thruout the
year. This last will not just "hap-
PEN" 1t will take much work and the
introduction of correct organizational
and technical principles. All our theor-
les will come to nothing if our educa-
tional apparatus does not function
properly.
MANY classes have landed on the
lVI rocks because they were not CON
Quoted properly. One of the most fire.
quent inquiries we have received from
comrades who are undertaking party
educational work is: What is the
best way to conduct study class
1t is the purpose of this article to
give an answer to this custom based
on the collective experience in the
field of educational work from which
a few general principles can be ex-
tracted.
EFT us begin at the beginning and
- proceed step by step. When the re-
sponsible party committee in the given
localities has decided to establish a
class, let us say, for example, in the
"A. B. G. of Communism" the next
move must be to appoint leader for
the class. This leader must understand
that the class will not move of itself,
but must be organized and directed
from beginning to end, otherwise it
will fall to pieces. The comrade in
charge of the class must then proceed
to enroll students, having them regis
ter for the class and making sure he
has sufficient number who agree in
advance to attend the classes before
he sets the time for calling it. AS
soon as sufficient number of stu
dents have been enrolled, a date is
set for the first class and all the stu
dents are notified.
n I this point we should speak a
n word about the danger of haphaz-
ardness in the attendance at the class
es on the part of any of the students
The party committee must decide that
the attendance at class once a week,
or more frequently, as the case may
be, is part of the members party
duty and should excuse him from par
ty obligations for those nights. The

Mystery of Deter
mining Easter Ex-
planned by Scribe

Easter, with all of it's glory and
fashion parade is due here Sunday.
Clear and fine weather is promised
by the weather man for this memorial
occasion.
AT every Easter time some discus
sion comes up as to the way Easter
IS determined. After much research
and many inquiries from those who
are supposed to know it was finally
agreed that this important date is
always "the first Sunday after the
first full moon after March 90"
Now that you know you can take it
for what it is worth.
The local merchants report an ex-
ira large Easter sale this year. This
IS good sign that the Marietta peo-
pie are realizing the value of local
merchandise and are trading at home.
All the churches have prepared
special music for Easter Sunday and
large attendance is expected at ali.

LARGE ORDER
FOR MARIETTA
KNITTING co.

The Observation-Disclosures Show" held
last week in the Auditorium created
widespread attention, and among the
displays that attracted most of the
public attention was that of the Ma
rietta Knitting Company, which was
put up at no little cost, and showed
just how the wellknown "Radium"
half hose, and how the equally we'll
known Bungalow Rugs" are manu-
featured.
The exhibition was in charge of
Ralph W. Northcutt, president of the
Marietta Knitting Company, Mariet-
ia, Ga. In talking about business in
general Mr.. Northcutt said:
We are now enjoying the best
business in the history of the mills
and we are turning out larger vol
ume than ever before to take care
of orders that are already in"
An instance of the big, tangible
orders now being received by this
mill might be cited in the order sent
in last week by G. H. Northcutt, Sec
rotary and treasurer of the mills.
from a leading New York house, for
$4,000 dozen of "Radium" hose. This
sort of business is what is going on
IN these mills daily, and the slogan,
Made in Atlanta" is being heralded
throughout the country by this man
ufacturer.
More than $4,000 pairs of half
hose are turned out every day at
these mills, and the production Of
hosiery and underwear paper boxes
is being increased.
The manufacture of Bungalow
Rugs" by this mill is being done to
utilize the waste from the manufac-
ture of the hose. This form of man
ufacture is going big with the mill
and the rugs have been sold through
out the country in large volumes.
When asked about the distribution in
general, Mr.. Northcutt said:
Il am extremely pleased with our
distribution in that we are selling
goods to every state in the union,
though / hesitate to add that we are
selling less merchandise to the State
of Georgia than to any other state
with possibly one or two exceptions.
We expect, however, to overcome
this situation during this spring and
summer seasons, as our men are
working trade in a concentrated man
ner."
