Why Not Wise Up On Things?

IT was suggested a few days ago by member
of our Daily Worker Clubs that it wouldn't
be bad idea to develop in the clubs this fall
and winter little study circles to study some i'm
portant subject of special interest to the work.
ing class. We at once seconded the motion and
promised to do all we could to assist in the or
ganization of these circles.
Whereupon it was pointed out that due to the
geographical location of the clubs, many of them
located a great distance from the Workers
School, it would be difficult to get competent in
StEuctors for the classes Study circles we we're
given to understand could not function very
well without instructors.
Which all reminds us Of how we did good
deal of study in the theory of the class strug-
gle far, far from the native habitat of any
competent instructors. Indeed we weedled out
much of our political education in nies cool
capitalist Jail with big fat guard looking down
our neck most of the time.
Now we do not mean by this that if workers
wish to study they should throw their hats over
some jailhouse wall and then go around to the
warden and request admission. We merely
wish to point out that workers can study with
out instructors being right in the class pro-
viding they can get the materials and follow an
outline, settling all points on which they get
baled up by correspondence with an instructor
We scratched our head oyer the question and
it finally occurred to JUS that the Workers
School here in New York has an excellent lot
of lessons arranged for correspondence students
in the Fundamentals of Communism.
So we looked up the boss man of this school
and put the proposition to him. What rebate
can Daily Worker clubs get for correspondence
course? And we think that the Workers School
didn't do so badly, because where it would cost
one worker eight dollars to get the whole series
of lessons on the Fundamentals of Communism,
the school offers it to Daily Worker Clubs for
five dollars for classes up to ten members, and
class of over ten students gets it for the reg
ular price of one, that is, eight smackers.
Now, you readers who haven't yet gotten your
friends around you and organized Daily Work
err club in your parlor - or your kitchen - get
busy and get in on this.
Now what makes considerable difference, be-
cause otherwise you go without this careful
training or, if you have to subscribe individually
for the course and there's, let's say, six of you,
it would cost you $48-which is lot of kale
But if there's six of you in a Daily Worker club
who want to study the Fundamentals Of Com
munisn, you get it for a total of IS. or less
than one smacker piece
This includes all postage as all lessons are sent
postage paid and big envelope with postage on
it is sent along to return your answers on the
questions the school asks, and also any ques-
tons you are dark on and wish information from
the teachers about.
This course starts from the ground, and gives
you an understanding of what capitalism is,
how it works, its development into imperialism,
explains what capitalist contradictions are the
cause of economic crises, war, what part the
workers play and the colonial peoples in over
throwing capitalism and establishing the rule of
the workers. Naturally it explains why the Com
munist Partv exists and what its function is in
relation to the working class.
Daily Worker Clubs Who Want to get this course
of lessons should write direct to the Workers
School, IS East 18th ST., New York City. Be
sure and tell them you write for the Club so
you get the special price.
