tober of that year it was established
that village teachers should not get
less than 25 rubles, and the central
government set aside 20 million rub
les to raise this still higher beginning
with January of 1925.
Now certainly, 2S or 30 rubles q
month is not enuf to satisfy all needs.
We do not intend to stop there. But
every honest citizen must admit that
under the conditions, only a worker
and peasant government would in so
short a time and in our poverty have
made such large proportionate raise
How Peoples Education Is Organized.
TIME aim of our education, as stated
= in our party program, is to train
up understanding citizens, capable Of
rebuilding all life on new socialist
foundations. This means that our
schools must produce workers, who
understand the world of nature, and
human society and industrial produc-
ton, who are free from the task OF
destroying all chains and bondage.
All our education is linked together,
from the smallest child to the univers-
ity graduate. First comes the kinder
garten, from three to eight years;
then the first form of the regular
school, from eight to twelve years;
then the second form which has two
divisions. from twelve to fifteen and
from sixteen to seventeen. Above this
comes the university and higher tech
nical schools.
In the first form, which lasts four
years, the children learn reading,
writing arithmetic, and become &C.
quainted with the simplest facts OF
the working life around them, the life
of the family, social life and nature.
In the second form they go deeper
into their acquaintance with the life
around them; they themselves make
experiments with nature, become ac-
quainted with her riches and forces,
and with the use OF these to enrich
human society; they learn the eco
nomic organization Of our land and

There is also a growing movement
of Pioneers outside the school but
working closely with 1t, introducing
the child to social life.
Professional-TechnicaI Training.
besides the general schools, known
- as Schools OF Social instruction
there are schools for technical and
professional training. These are of
three grades-lower, middle and
higher The lowest trains workers,
the middle trains the foremen, or as
sistant engineers of industry: the
highest trains engineers and manag-
ers of our growing industrial and po-
litical and social life.

FORD WORKERS
Greet DAILY
As THEIR ALLY
Welcome E xpose of
Henry Ford
BY LENA ROSENBERG.
Worker correspondentl

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.-As the
afternoon shift at the Ford plant is
about to leave at 4:30, the whistle
blows and the guards at the main
entrance lock the doors and search
the workers as they go out. They
look into the dinner-pails, then the
sleeves, then the pockets and after
they have searched the workers they
make them wait in the lobby until
all have been searched. When the
doors open the workers rush out,
glad to get away from the fiunkies,
who would not hesitate to steal them
selves, but are detailed to search
them.
AS the workers came out Of the
factory one day, and saw us there
with the special Ford edition of the
DAILY WORKER, their faces bright
ened when they saw that Henry Ford
was being exposed for what he really
is. From the remarks that we heard,
we knew that they considered the
DAILY WORKER their friend.
When we got there the next day
with the second special Ford edition,
the workers were very eager to get
copies. A number of Ford stoolpigeons
tried to scare us away by showing
us X. K. K membership cards. The
other comrade that was with me was
not member of the party, but she
refused to he frightened. She was
carried away by the enthusiasm
shown by the workers for the DAILY
WORKER.
One thing that is very noticeable is
the number Of workers that leave
with fingers bandaged. Some leave
the shop with a handkerchief wrapped
around their fingers. Under the
speedup system that operates in the
factory, many of the workers are in
jured and have no time to go to the
emergency hospital.

How our enemies laughed at this
ideal But we have now in Russia
proper rs worker faculties, with
$4,000 students. And when the first
graduates, 5000 in number, entered
the universities, they were found to
be no worse prepared than those OF
the chosen gymnasiums of former
days; indeed, in some ways they were
better prepared.
THE universities came to us, as we
l. said, with quite a different type of
student. But in the past three years
this has greatly changed. By the
spring of 1924, 10 per cent Of all stu
dents were workers or children of
workers, and 20 per cent were peas
ants or children of peasants. With
each years entering class the pro-
portion grows as the elder group of
non-working elements leave school.
But we have changed not only the
type Of student but the whole form of
life. In place of being aloof from life.

economic life Of the region where 1t is
placed. In our pedagogical institutes,
even. we produce not only teachers,
who know books but teachers who
know the life surrounding them.
One new measure in our higher
schools is unique in the world. That
is the governments material aid to
students. Formerly students came
from rich families, who sent them
money to live on. But our students
are poor; they receive stipends from
the government, from Is to 20 rubles
month for their food. Such partial
support is given to $4,000 students by
the government, which spent last
year 25 million rubles for this pur-
pose. Nowhere else in the world is
this done.

WIRES ASTONISH
SWEDISH FIRMS
Get Phone Rights in
Border Countries
Especial to The Daily wOrksrI

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. S.
The statement in an official telegram
from the Moscow Soviet news agency
concerning an agreement between the
Ericsson and Svagtsroem factory trust
for the exploitation Of Ericsson's tele-
phone system is causing much COM
ment here.
According to the Moscow statement
the Russian trust is to have exclu-
sive rights to Ericsson's automatic
telephones within the Soviet Union as
we'll as in Persia, Afghanistan and
Mongolia and the exclusive conces-
sion of Ericsson patents in Latvia, rs
thonia and Lithuania.
Pending Since July.
The announcement adds that the
Ericsson company viii supply Russia
with the necessary plant, including
automatic telephone stations, on long
credit terms. Mr.. Sandberg, director
of the Ericsson factory, declares that
negotiations have been proceeding
since July.
Sweden, alone, he said, would b
unable to provide Russia with all the
equipment necessary, altho any agree
ment on the lines suggested would
necessarily bring great activity to the
Swedish telephone industry.
Enterprising Reds.
Ministers representing the border
states assure the correspondent that
the Moscow announcement, If true,
does not mean Russian domination
over their telephone systems, but sim
ply that those states must purchase
Ericsson material thru Moscow in
stead of Stockholm.
Dagens Nyheter makes the com
ment that the Russian state trust
must be animated by a remarkably ac-
tive and enterprising spirit in view OF
the fact that it has obtained exclusive
rights to Ericsson's automatic tele-
phones not only within the Soviet
Union, but in six other autonomous
states.

had multiplied four times, and in
the depression which followed there
still remained at the lowest ebb in
1928, 241 agricultural schools with
10000 students, OF two and a half
times the number in the cars days.
Since that time they have been again
increasing.
There are no lower professional
schools for teachers but there are
schools of middle rank, training teach
ers for the village schools. These
middle schools are called technicums.
Under the car there were 10000
teachers in such technicums, but we
have 10000 and are opening more
schools.
Higher Education.
.DEFORE the revolution. higher edu-
- cation was practically closed to
the children of workers, for one must
pass thru the gymnasiums or church
schools or have private tutors and
none of these we're possible to work
ers. One minister of education. Delin-
Of. actually boosted that the govern
ment would never let into its universi-
ties the children Of scrub-women. I"
and by this meant all children Of
workers and peasants.
Our first task was to open the
higher institutions of learning to work
ers and peasants. But how? Prelim-
mary training is needed for these in
stitntions and this no worker pos
sessed SO there were established
the worker faculties, or so-called rab.
facs. These are not factory schools
or trade schools for teaching trades,
but general preparatory schools TAX
ing workers direct from the bench and
training them for higher institutions.
They must know how to read and
write and little arithmetic-noth
ing more.
The course in the rab-fac lasts three
or four years, and in these they are
supposed to gain all the knowledge
necessary Cor entering the university.

When a jury in Police Court re-
turned a verdict of mot guilty.
in the case of Leroy Beasley,
Samuel Pearson and Thomas C.
Talbert, charged with the illegal
sale and possession of liquor, they
accepted the word of the defendants
against that of former Revenue
Agent Harry r. Thompson and set
the Internal Revenue Department
wondering what became of their
SOS, supposed to have been paid as
a deposit on three cases of liquor.
The agent charged that the de.
PENDANTS sold him three cases of
liquor and that he paid sos as q
retainer" The defendants said
that the agent sold them whiskey
and that they went to his apart
ment to get it, but were placed
under arrest instead. They never
got a nickel of money from Thomp-
son, they declare. Talbert is a
taxi driver. Thompson claims that
Talbert took them all up to his
apartment to deliver the Whiskey.
The defendants were equally GER
tain that Talbert took them all up
to get the liquor that Thompson
had sold them.
Anyway, the SOS is gone, there
is no whlskey to show for it and
the defendants are free. The case
consumed three days in Judge John
p. McMahon's court. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by At
