ton of the country, in the work Of
the school.
In the travelling school we have
a great opportunity of training
cadres for work among the farmers,
as we'll as among workers in in
dustrial sections. The school,
therefore, should receive the fullest
support from the comrades in the
field.
1t is essential that the School On
Wheels establish closer and more
systematic relations with the Work
ers' School in New York, the Ma
tional School, as well as various
schools existing in the territories in
which the Travelling School oper-
ates at certain times. The CO.
ordination between the School On
Wheels and our stationary institu-
tons will help to improve the work
in both fields.
In spite of the difficulties and the
shortcomings we can record the
work conducted by the Travelling
School as real achievement, and
we trust that with the cooperation
of the Party the school will progress
and will do even better work in the
future,

The School
On Wheels

We have recently received very
interesting report from the Farm
School On Wheels. Due to the linz
tied space we are not in q position
to print the entire report.
During the past ten months the
travelling school for farm organizers
has held four-week sessions in
seven districts, with a total of 90
students from II states.
The report tells us further that
"the travelling school is a complete
unit in itself, with tents, cooking
equipment, library, truck (Which
is used to transport equipment be-
tween stops, and as a bus during
school sessions) and staff of three
instructors and a cook. In each
district leading farm organizer
participates in conducting the dis
cussion of organizational problems"
During these ten months the
comrades in charge of the school
have gathered a good deal of ex-
perience which will help them in
overcoming many of the shortcom-
ings with reference to the curricu-
lum, to the selection of students.

editors on the scope Of the maya

"Your announcement Of tn e

weekly New Masses is now six
months old. I have followed your
excellent publication during this
period with much interest. I want
at this time to congratulate the
editors Of the magazine for their
product: with each issue the pub
LEGATION proves itself a strong COM
rade-in-arms of the revolutionary
movement. These are months into
which history Grams years of
epochal events. These events the
New Masses has portrayed and
analysed for the white collar work
ers, the intellectuals, the strata of
the middle class that have been
thrown into the army of the dis
possessed. The New Masses has in
this short period won a place for
itself in the regard of thousands:
I understand it has almost trebled
its circulation as compared with the
monthly New Masses.
It's possibilities are even greater.
1t is gratifying to see that the
magazine does more than depict
and expose capitalist decay: like a
true revolutionary magazine it
reaches out towards becoming a COL
lective organizer Welding the thou
sands of its readers as supporters
and fighters in the revolutionary
movement of which the proletariat
is the vanguard.
