Eastern Shore Yields March of Progress by Sending
Children to Larger Institutions.

Though the total enrolment of East
ern Shore high schools shows an in
crease Of 164 per cent over a I0-year
period from 1920 to 1880, according to
Clarke Fontaine, State supervisor of
high schools for the Eastern Shore.
there Is an overproduction of teachers
being turned out from colleges and
normal schools, and even in times of
depression these institutions continue

Consequently many embryonic teach

Because many one = teacher schools
have been eliminated and tranSporta-
ton provided for pupils to larger and
more centrally located schools, there
are fewer schools on the Eastern Shore
this year, ofacials assert. Experience
shows, they say, that children in larger
graded schools and In centrally located
high schools do better work and the
cost per pupil has proven greater In
the smaller schools.
School consolidation has thus been
pushed to a greater degree than ever
before, and in October, 1929, Caroline
County had but nine one-teacher
schools. From 1928 to 1929 this county
showed reduction of six white ele-

SOVIET AGRAR|AN
CHECK ATTEMPTED
Stain Says COIIeCtivism
Must Be Voluntary,
Not Compulsory.
BY CARROLL BINDER.


~ Radio 70 The star and chicaEo Daily
News. Copyright, 1880.
MOSCOW, U. s. S. r., March g.
Dictator Joseph " Stains latest stand
on the agrarian collectivization move
ment In the Soviet Union is of FORE
most importance to the rest of the
world and q sensation for the Russians.
At a time when the greatest agra
rian revolution in history and the most
momentous phase of the Russian reyo-
luton Is spreading like prairie fire,
the secretary general of the Commu-
mist party has undertaken-as broadcast
IN long announcement in the news
papers yesterday-to control the speed,
direction and process of that tempeS-
tuous movement.
Hits Overenthusiasm.
Briefly, M Stain declares that the
Communist agrarian program, whose
wisdom has been variouSly regarded by
Communists, is an unquestionable
success, but that overenthusiaStic adj
miniStrators have been jeopardizing coll
lectiviZation by their rash and insane
policies. He orders that these methods
be substituted by measures of party
leadership, which he is convinced will
carry the program to full victory.
Va
swell medicines from too easily won
successes, as witnessed in the COLLECTIVE
zation by February 20 of SO per cent
Of all the peasant farms in the Soviet
Union.
That is twice what the optimistic
state planters had expected.
Also the Communist officials have
collected 100000 tons of seeds, or 90
per cent of the amount sought, but that
is no reason for forcing unwilling
peasants into kolhoseS, or collectivized
farms, as, NJ. Stain points out, has been
done in TurkeStan and other backward
regions. Collectivizers have employed
force and even threatened to introduce
, soldiery and withhold water and manu-
featured goods from regions showing an
unwillingnesS to join kolhoses. Such
czaristic compulsion Injuries collectivism
and serves 1t enemies says M. Stain
rebukingly in his order, which urges
that co1lectivizing be accepted only vol
unfairly.
other misguided officials have mis-
takenly organized the peasantry into a
communal type of kolhose when the
Soviet and their interests were best
served by the artel.
Favors Partial COlIectivism.
In the artel type Of kolhose the main
means of production are held commu-
nally-for instance, tools, including
tractors, cattle and granaries-but the
members retain their own homes, chick
ems q single cow or sheep and pigs, as
well as clothing.
The amazing growth of kolhoses has
been occasioned by a feeling that in
dIyidualistic farming is impossible be-
cause of high taxes and an inability to
obtain capital or tools, as well as by
local pressure, but recruits often show
a noncollectivist spirit, which M. Stain
does not wish and seeks to overcome by
the artel type.
M. Stain extends sarcastic repri-
mands to misguided zealots who initiate
q kolhose by removing bells from VIII
lage churches, which widespread prac-
tice he calls stupid and not strikingly
revolutionary.
