EDUCATION IN THE USSR
A Book Review by DIR. Frederick
w. Van Name, Jr-, Chairman and
Professor, Physics Department
University of Delaware

Coinciding with the recent in
terest in Sputniks is the publi-
cation of Education in the USSR"
by the u. S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, a book
which has aroused much concern.
All material quoted below is from
this book-which, for the first time,
enables us to understand how Rus
sia has achieved so much in scien-
tific fields during the past few
years. Since these achievements
threaten the peace and safety of
the entire world, we must consider
the problem of meeting or beat
ing the Russians in technical mat
ters. 1t is the opinion of this re-
viewer that this country is not
doing enough to foster and en-
courage future scientists. Further,
il Is felt that il we do not speed
up our pace, we will never catch up
with the Russians in developments
having military applications.
This country should cut down
on the long vacations currently
enjoyed in the primary and sec
ondary schools. 1t is stated that
"The primary-secondary program
in the USSR concentrates within
a 10-year course of studies about
the same number of hours of in
struction as are spread over IL
years in the U. S." and further that
"extracurricular activities are an
integral part of the Soviet educa-
tional system"
These activities include out-of-
school work and activities to keep
students vacations occupied. This
is probably done partly of necessity.
since both parents in many Russian
families work and the children
must be kept occupied and under
supervision. However, the United
States is no longer primarily de-
pendent upon agriculture, so it
seems that we could well give up
part of the long summer vacation
in favor of additional schooling.
We could thus save one or two
years of time required for gradu-
alton from high school.
1t is well known to all educators
in universities that various high
schools send out students of far
different quality. We find that:
"In the USSR state examinations
are required of all children at the
end of the 4th, 7th and 10th grades.
At the end of the 10th year of
schooling. Soviet boys and girls are
eligible to sit for the state matricu-
lation examinations. Those who
successfully pass these month-long
comprehensive examinations are
awarded a certificate prerequisite
to study at the next higher level" !"
In this country uniformity in
high school graduation require
ments or university admission re-
quirements Is rare. In New York
state, all students must pass state
wide examinations set by the State
Board of Regents in order to grad
uate. Some few universities still
require prospective students to sub
NIT scores on College Entrance Ex-
aminations Board examinations in
prescribed subjects, but this is not
generally the case. This reviewer
believes that il uniform standards

other useful step would be to re-
quire more science and mathe-
matics in the secondary schools. If
we are not to be isolated from the
rest of the world by language diff
erences, we should require all sec
ondary students to become prof.
cient in a foreign language. With
these improvements made, we
could persuade more high school
graduates to enter on scientific
careers by offering more and larger
scholarships to universities in these
fields With larger number of
better students N the sciences, We
should be able to OveTtake the

Police Report
 Sober PoEDgIla aEion

H F s There must be a sobering in fluence, whether its the lack of money or other causes, but the Police report for the month of November reveals only one arrest for drunkenness and two for drunk and disorderly- It seems, too, the drinkers are coming out into the open, as four were arrested for drinking in public"
 These and other misdemeanors account for 18 arrests made during the month. The canine population caught it this month. Of the g dogs picked up, 30 met death in the asphyxiation chamber.
 Though there weren't too many arrests, there were 59 inyestiga- lions, and 47 traffic tickets issued, nd two accidents reported. There were six ambulance calls
 The balance Of the report IS made up of 2 eases nf larceny; 7 of aiding and abetting crime; of oarrying a concealed weapon and ? juvenile cases.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Today's word game is designed
to test your ability to recognize
words similar to one another in
meaning. Below you win find
two groups Of 10 words each.
The first group is numbered /,
2. 3. etc. The second group is
lettered q. b. c, etc.
For each word in the first
group you will find a word Of
almost the same meaning "a
synonym in the second group.
Thus the word numbered / may
mean practically the same as
the word lettered F. Write this
down as IF. When you have
written down all the answers,
check against the correct pair
ings at the bottom.
