active elements, but also for the {
Non-party members also, in fact all
class will find in the school some
course or courses which will make
them better militant fighters on be-
half of their class.
Reorganization is the order Of the
day in the party. 1t is no less the
order of the day in this educational
work than in other fields.
The school has for its most imme-
diate task to direct and initiate a ST.
multaneous course in every shop nu-
cleus so that within a period of three
to six months, every member of the
party in New York will have been
educated in THE Fundamentals of
Leninism." In order to prepare. the
enormous staff of instructors or
rather group discussion leaders to di-
rect this work in all of the nuclei
simultaneously, there will be shop
nucleus training course in the cen
trail school. To this course every shop
nucleus will send a leading comrade,
preferably its organizer, and this COM
rade will be trained to direct the dis
cussion within his nucleus. The
course will include such fundamental
problems as: What is a party; the
role of the Communist party; it's
structure and organization; class di-
vision, class differences and class
struggle; party leaders, masses, class
Bolshevization; work in the trade I'M
ions; Communist electoral cam
paigns and parliamentarism; theory
and practice of the united front; Lore
ism and other pressing party prob
lens. In addition to the topics sug-
gested above, the course will include
the thoro study of the theoretical
basis for the decision of these prob
lens and a study of the practical
measures for bringing the conclusions
of the course to life in the daily work
of the party.
For active trade unionists, party
functionaries and leading comrades
generally there will be Special train
ing course to which only a limited
number will be admitted on the basis
of examination. The examination will
consist of presentation by the candi-
date not only of his previous study
but, and this much more important,
presentation of evidence that he is
really an active party worker.
The tr{ning course will consist Of
course in "Marxism-Leninism" extend
ing over a period of six months, in
structor, Bertram d. Wolfe; a course
in Party History Structure and Prob
lems," three months, instructor, Will
liam w. Weinstone; and course in
Our Work in the Trade Unions"
three months, instructors, Ben Gitlow
and Bert Miller. All comrades taking
the training course will take the
"Marxist-Leninism" course for the en-
tire period of six months and for the
first three months, either the trade
union course or the course in Party
History Structure and Problems" TAX
ing the other one during the second
three months. These courses will be
so ARRANGED that the comrades will
not have to spend more than one
night week at the school.
Another group of courses Of fun
damental Importance this year are the
English courses. Not only will there
be great numbers of nonparty work
ers anxious to take these courses in
English but in addition there will be
perhaps even greater numbers of
members of the various language fed
erations anxious to prepare them
selves for active participation in the
shop nuclei or international branches
of the reorganized party in which
English will be the official language
used.
To take care of the entire foreign
speaking membership Of the party as
well as other workers DESTROYS of per-
fecting their English, a large staff of
English teachers has been recruited
and many courses in elementary, in
ermediate and advanced English will
De given. Many of these courses will
start the week of Oct. IL simultane-
ously with the beginning of the def
ate reorganization of the party.
Other important courses in connec-
ton with English literature and pub
lie speaking will be offered. They in
clude workers Correspondence Ia
course in Proletarian Journalism; ~"
elementary composition; elementary
public speaking which will include
parliamentary law and other details
necessary to speaking at meetings of
the party, unions and other workers
organizations; political issues and
their presentation Ga course in ad-
vanced public speaking); and various
courses in literature. Probably the
most interesting of these is a course
