There are thirty-three experimental
schools in Moscow alone and they are
very many experimental stations in
Soviet Russia. Each and every school

America, in Germany. He told the
dreams they dream of a new world
and their readiness to help humanity.
so l understood the ideal that Soviet
Russia gives to its youth in the in
terest that awakens in the young gem
Grafton to all phases of life, all phases
of humanity.
There are 250,O0O teachers in Soviet
Russia living, teaching in the farthest
corners of the big land; some of them
teach for months at a time in lamp
lighted rooms in distant Siberia; most
of them work in villages among peas
ants, but all of them have the divine
feeling that they are molding a new
personality Of collective life, OF crea.
tive forces, a generation which win
astound the world with its idealism.
Teachers support soviets.
At the last All-Russian Soviet con-
vention of Teachers which was held
in Moscow the teachers expressed
their willingness and readiness to help
the government of Russia in its edu-
cational efforts, notwithstanding the
