sist of classes in the English language

party, group of elective courses
which include the History of the Am

1--WE feel that the principal course,
and the principal educational aim in
view of the fact that we are reorganiz-
ing our party is to have every mem
Der of every shop nucleus go thru a
course in the A. B. G. Of Leninism,"
said Comrade Wolfe, "a course SO
constructed that it might have as a
title, How to be a Member of Com
munist Party We plan to give this
course simultaneously in every shop
nucleus. 1t should include such ele-
mentary topics as: What Is A Party;
The Role of the Communist Party;
It's Structure and Organization; Glass
Division; Glass Differences and Glass
Struggle; Bolshevization; Work in
the Trade Unions; Communist Elec-
toral Campaign and Parliamentarism
Theory and Practice of the United
Front; Loreism, and other pressing
party problems. This is of course, not
an outline but series of topics which
suggest the general nature of the
courses to be given. The courses will
be outlined shortly"
viii Insure Political Development.
The courses given in the shop nuclei
will insure the immediate func-
tioning of the shop nuclei along DO
litical lines and not merely as centers
for discussion of shop conditions,
Comrade Wolfe stated.
The comrades who attend the cen
trail course will receive an outline of
instruction on how to conduct the
nucleus class, and will be given ma
terial for the next lesson of the class.
Two such control courses will be Civ
en(beginning on alternating weeks, SO
that all shop nucleus instructors may
attend. Every shop nucleus must have
its discussion every other week, the
trained discussion director taking up
the same subject that he heard at the
central course the preceding week.

Course For Needle Trades Workers.
One OF the courses in the third
elective" group will be "The His

says of this course, ut is of vital i'm.
portance to the party. Our deserved
victory in the International Ladies
Garment Workers fight has brot MS
race to face with the question of the
assumption Of leadership in the needle
trades industry. Our comrades in that
industry must be worthy Of such re-
sponsibilities and must have a thoro
