sibilities for the growth of radical
ization of the masses for the in
crease of the Communist mass
movement.
want to emphasize: it is a two
fold process and it amounts to po-
litical blindness to overlook one or
the other side of it.
l would like to characterize GER
tain special American features of
the rehabilitation of the working
class. I am of the opinion that in
stead of repeating here, general
phrases about the general radical
ization of the bulk of the American
working class it is our duty 10 try
to give a concrete analysis of the
volume, the limitations, the forms
and the special features of the rad
realization of America
The limitations of rehabilitation
at present which determine the
amount of the leftward trend are
the following;
l. The absence of big political
issues between the capitalist par
| ties.
2. Unlike 1924 there is no third
party movement at this time.
8. There is no labor party move
ment on a national or mass scale at
present.
a. The bulk of the American
working class belong still at present
to the old capitalist political par
ties. The twelve railroad brother
hoods which a few years ago were
the backbone of an independent po-
litical movement of the American
working class endorsed few weeks
ago Hoover as president. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor, which in
1924 endorsed the third party move
ment of LaFollette will now endorse
AL Smith, the candidate of the demo-
cratic party.
5. The socialist party of Amer
lea ceased to be proletarian party
and the Communist Party of Amer
lea is not yet mass party. The
American working class was not able
to develop yet mass political party
which exercises an influence on
millions of workers.
The above given facts show clearly
the limitation of the rehabilitation
especially the political rehabilitation
of the American working class. The
basic factor of the situation is
as stated in the political resolution
of the May Plenum of the American
Party--the analysis of the moods
and actions of the masses of the I'M
skilled and semi-skilled workers.
We can state that there is very
significant amount of rehabilitation
going on among the most exploited
sections of the working class as
proven by the struggles of the min
ers, textile workers and workers in
the needle trades.
Special Features.
The rehabilitation in America has
certain features in contradistinction
to the rehabilitation in certain Euro
pean countries. Germany's radical
ization manifests itself on the polit-
ical field and lags behind on the trade
union field. The workers are willing
TO follow politically the Communist
Party of Germany, but they are not
willing to accept it's strike leader
ship. In America the leftward
workers are not yet willing to ac-

The second problem l want to
elaborate upon is the question OF
rehabilitation and bourgeoisification
of the American working class.
The same document of certain
American comrades which l already
quoted from errs in the estimation
of the amount and volume of the
rehabilitation of the American
working class also. l have to give
few quotations.:
"There is general growth of dis
content, militance and readiness to
struggle among the semi-skilled and
unskilled workers (the bulk of the
American proletariat)."
Another passage:
"The progress of widespread and
general rehabilitation is taking place
in all industries among the most ex-
plotted sections of the workers"
The Labor Movement.
| have to state that these asser-
tons of the document do not CORE
spond with the facts. There is a
certain amount of rehabilitation of
the American working class, rad
icalization of certain industries
There is certain left trend among
the unskilled workers, but we can
not say that that Left trend is gen.
eral or nationwide, that it embraces
the bulk of the American workers
already. l am afraid that even in
Germany, France or Great Britain
in those countries which show the
most marked tendencies of the rad
realization of the working classes
even there we cannot say today yet
that the rehabilitation of the Left
trend embraces the bulk of the
working class.
1t is interesting to note a remark
able contradiction: the same com
rades who charge the Central Com
mittee of the American Party, that
it overlooks the general radicaliza-
ton of the American working class
put forward the accusations here in
Moscow only nine months ago, that
the Central Committee of the Amer
lean Party refuses to recognize that
there is a powerful process of bour-
geoisification of the American work
ing class going on. l am of the
opinion that the American Party
had the correct position nine months
ago stating that there is marked
tendency of the bourgeoisification OF
the American working class, but at
the same time there is another ten
dency of rehabilitation of certain
sections of the working class which
serves as sufficient basis for mass
Communist work.
Two-Fold Process.
I stated just few days ago ir
the Profintern: Sterilization in Eu-
rope serves as the basis for the
growth of reformism and the con.
tradictions of sterilization create a
basis for the growth of the Com
munist Party. The world hegemony
of American imperialism serves as
the basis for the further growth of
American refornism and creates the
possibilities for the further growth
of the American Federation of La
Dor. On the other hand the contradic-
ton arising from the growing power
of Ant rican imperialism create pos

The population of the school is
made up Of all religious denomi-
nations, of course. Regular SER
vices are held in the chapel and
each girl is given ample oppor-
tunity to attend services of her de-
sire. Rev. John A. Fearon pastor
of the Church of Our Lady of the
Angels, Sank Centre, is the spirit
ual advisor Of the girls of the
Catholic faith; Rev. Johnson, Osa-
kis, and Rev. Schumacher, of Sank
Centre, administer to the men,
bers of the Lutheran church; Rev.
T. B. Shorts, pastor of the Meth
odist church, of this city, is the
minister for the balance of the
Protestant girls.
Eighty-five people are employed
in various capacities about the in
stitution and farm. Most of the
men come from Sank Centre.
The Minnesota Board of Control
have taken a very active interest
in the Home School for Girls since
it was first established as they
have at all times fully appreciated
the war for the conservation of
human life and morals that was
being waged.
Mrs. Mary Stewart, the superin-
tendent, isn't very strong on frills.
She thoroughly understands the

charged from the States control
when they are FL years old. If
they should need further protec-
ton from the State after they are
FL they are sent to the Women's
reformatory at Shakopee.
June first there were 274 in
mates in the institution; 281 were
on parole. The records show that
the average length of time the
girls remain in the institution is
about Is months. A close track is
kept of all girls leaving the insti-
tuition by Miss Clara B. Holden,
head of the parole department.
Miss Holden has been with the in
stitution for a longer period than
any of the other employees. She
is rendering a valuable service to
the state and is real friend Of
the girls who love her dearly.
DR.. Maron Grimes is the resident
physician at the School. DR. Ber-
nadine Dolan, dentist, spends half
her time at the Sank Centre school,
the balance at Owatonna.
When a girl first enters the
school she is placed in the hospit-
al for observation. The hospital
has 48 beds and is equipped with a
modern operation room and equip
ment.
The larger percentage of the
girls coming to the institution are
from the larger cities of popula-
ton. They only arrive at the
Sank Centre school after they have
run the gauntlet of the Juvenile
courts and have gotten beyond
their control. Fully 80 per cent
of the girls have had sex exper-
fence and many of them are afflict
ed with veneral diseases.
It is the work of the State to
bring these girls back to norma!
health and to attempt to change
their viewpoint of life. Many Of

Writer'S Fine Tribute
to Forest Patriarch

watched some time ago the cut
ting down of an oak. 1t was a huge
tree, an old patriarch among the
trees in the neighbOrhOOd, the kind
and size of a tree that is regarded
with scrt of attachment by friends
and strangers. In the lives Of those
along the road it was a landmark
1t wore it's rusty robes with an
air of majesty. 1t possessed a dis
tinguished appearance on account
of age, and to look at it was to be
aware of something ancient. The
Indian stepped with moccasin
feet the paths when it was in in
fancy, and it's last years saw the
automobile, airplane, the magic
things of a modern world
1t went through much in The lease
of life; it weathered everything, as
an oak should do; but it had to
surrender before the assaults of
very small but numerous enemy
the leopard moth. 1t fought as
giant fights-bravely. 1t lost cOu-
rageously and gamely, as a man
loses when overwhelmed with su-
perior numbers. 1t battled to the
end.
1t seems a ruthless act to cut
down a tree. 1t is the taking Of
a life itself. Such a tree enters
the very lives of those who dwell In
it's shadows, and it is part of their
histories. And the more we know
of such trees the more are we con-
WINGED they have a soul, a personal

There are

academic department There are
ten teachers.
Grades are taught from the
fourth up to the eighth and some
high school subjects. Shorthand
and typewriting, millinery, domes-
tic science, vocal and instrumental
music, algebra and advanced Eng
lish are taught. The girls edit a
small paper called the Home
School Journal" which is their
own expression entirely.
No girls schooling needs to be
held back by coming to the Home
School. Her achievement test
places her in the proper class. At
the end of this year sixteen girls
graduated from the eighth grade.
1t isn't at all difficult for a girl
to escape from the institution as
the restrictions are about the same
as in the ordinary home.
Under the present regime the
girls have a healthy viewpoint of
life and the escapes are surprising
ly small. Of course the girl who
breaks away either is brought
back or returns of her own VOLT
ion.

When the School was first locat-
ed at Sank Centre the farm con-
sisted of 100 acres. At the present
time $40 acres are under control
of the Home School, all but 104
acres being owned by the. State.
lightweight acres of the farm is in
gardens; cared for by the girls
properly supervised. A herd of so
selected grade and pure bred Hol-
stems are kept. The cows are
MIXED and cared for by the girls,
supervised by a barn matron. The
farm is self supporting.
The group of four original cot
tages has been increased to TO-,
fourteen of these are on the orig
inal home site; four ere at Fair
view, Sank Lake, and one at
Brookdele farm. There is 4 CON-

lance from the cottages. The dairy
barn is said by experts to be the
most complete in the State.
The first four cottages erected
are of fire proof construction.
Some of those erected in later
years are of wood. Time will tell
whether the legislature was wise
in appropriating money for frame
rather than fireproof materials.

them, because of unhealthful. home
environment, have abnormal views
of life.
The girls coming to the Saul
Centre institution do not all come
from the poorer homes. In dis
cussing the inmates received to-
day Mrs. Mary Stewart, superin-
tendent of the school stated to the
Herald editor Saturday.:
Where years ago when the
School was first organized it
was rare thing for the his
tory of the inmate to disclose
the experience of drinking,
now it is a rare thing for a
girl to come to the Home
School who is not the victim
of the hip pocket flask and
wild parties.
Mrs. Stewart discounts the the
DRY that the modern mode of dress
has any influence of the hayward
ness of the girl of today, although
delinquency is undoubtedly on the
increase. The present mode Of
dress tends to make girls healthier.
The cardinal idea in the minds Of
those in charge of the School is the
idealizing of the home and the
building up of home institutions
Mrs. Stewart states that not all of

Nativity Of Corn

Corn, generally, believed to have
originated in South America, has
been found growing in China; but
the Chinese corn is of a unique
species and it is lot native of
the Chinese region in which it was
discovered. Researches show that
it must have been brought to China
long before the voyage of Column
bus, for it could not have acquired
its distinctive character il the COM
paratively, short time that has
elapsed since that period.
Chinese corn is dwarf plant and
its starch is quite different from
that of American corn. The leaves
grow on either side of the stalk
so as to protect it from the hot,
dry winds Of the desert. They form
a sort of horn for the accommoda-
ton of pollen.
!. Chinese corn Is excellent for
planting in hot countries where
common corn does not flourish.

A chimney of brick 175 feet in
height stands like sentinel over

Of the town, showed the spirit of

the attacks of weather for 55 years,
this chimney is in as good condi-
ton now as it was when erected by
the gold-mad first inhabitants of the

years ago conditions were not very
encouraging. Discipline had been
allowed to lapse, and there was
still a feeling in some quarters
against the institution from the
Public School experience of a few
years proceeding.
The new matron proceeded slow

morale of the school is on a high
plane, and there is never heard
word of outside criticism against
the institution.
