Courses in Fascism
and the New Deal

They are introducing two new
courses in the spring term of the
Workers School in CLEVELAND, a
course in the Economics and Politics
of Fascism, to be taught by j. Will
hanson, District Organizer of the
Communist Party; and the Econo-
mics and Politics of the New Deal,
to be taught by A. .Landy, Director
Of the Workers School.
The spring term of the Cleveland
Workers School will begin March 4th.
Registration began February 18th at
the school headquarters, 1924 Pros
pect Avenue. This shows that the
comrades in Cleveland realize the
Importance of preparation and or
ganization in advance and are giving
themselves plenty of time for reach
ing all the organizations, units, and
individuals before the term begins,
and giving them time to register.
THE BOSTON WOR KER s
SCHOOL also has the District Or
ganizer, Comrade N. Sparks, teaching
in the school, and other comrades
from the District Committee. But
some of the courses have suffered
from irregular attendance or poor
preparation by the teachers. The
weakest courses in the school are
the courses in Organization and
Trade Unionism.
The forums conducted by the school
have been weak and because of lack
OF funds they were discontinued.
But the forums should be a source of
income, not an expense. The failure
OF the forums in Boston was due to
poor organization and preparation,
and it was demonstrated last Sun
day that when they really make an
effort to popularize the forum it can
be a great success. A Markoff, Di-
rector of the Central Workers School
in New York, came to speak there,
and more people came than the hall
could seat. However, the Boston
school is preparing for the spring
term, and judging from the response
thus far, the registration will be
QulI6 SuCCSSSIul.
THE NATIONAL TRAINING
SCHOOL now being conducted by the
Central Committee of the Commu-
mist Party, has not been given much
publicity. The school is now in its
seventh week, and it is making splen-
did progress. Thirty-six members of
the Party selected by the districts
throughout the country are attending
full time. The organization and
carrying through of a National
Training School is a great achieve
ment for the Party, but the success
full carrying through of such a
project is accompanied by difficult
ties, the greatest difficulty of all be-
ing the funds needed for such a
project. 1t takes $500 week to run
the school. The Workers School in
New York carried on campaign in
its classes to raise quota of $3.50,
and almost doubled that quota.
Other organizations throughout the
country raised about $1,000, but this
money has been all used up, and at
present the school is in such a Seri-
Gus situation that unless money
comes in Immediately, the students |
will not have any food, and the |
school will have to be terminated, |
and this, of course, would be a very
and detrimental step to |
lake.
We therefore must make a very
urgent appeal to all sympathizers.
mass organizations, clubs and indi- |
viduals, to Immediately send in what
ever funds they can gather for the
National Training School.
