A Few General Statements
The next installment of this
series will discuss the education
within the Soviet Union. How
ever, a few general statements
might be made that would be
of interest. The entire trip, in
Guiding the travel within the
Soviet Union, was made by
plane. | had my first jet flight
on the Soviet TUl04 one hum
dred passenger jet. Within the
Soviet Union we visited the
cities of Moscow, Leningrad,
both in the Russian sector of
the Soviet Union; Kiev, in the
Ukranian sector of the Soviet
Union; and Tibilisi, in the Geor-
gian sector of the Soviet I'm
ion. The Soviet Union is divid-
ed into fifteen republics" and
we visited only three.
During our entire trip we
found the Soviet people friend
ly and generally curious con-
corning us and the United Stat
es. This was especially true in
Georgia and the Ukrain. Sew
eral times when we were stand
ing in line waiting to get our
coats after having attended a
concert or ballet performance,
we found ourselves ushered to
the front of the line so that we
would not have to wait. When
ever we went to a store and
had difficulty making a purch-
ase we almost always found
someone who was able to speak
enough English to assist us.
This was especially true in max
ing purchases of books and rec
ords. Within the schools we
were greeted with tremendous

cordiaHty by the principals
(called directors), teachers, and
students. The teachers seemed
willing and anxious to talk to
us at some length whenever pos
sible and always had many
questions concerning the United
States and American Education.
We were allowed complete
freedom within the schools to
visit classrooms and to walk
throughout the buildings, to
talk to students and teachers,
to look in storerooms etc. There
appeared to be no reluctance on
the part of any teacher to an
swer our questions. Occasion
ally we would meet teachers
who spoke English well and, of
course, it was with those that
we could carry on the most re-
laxed conversations without the
aid of interpreters. | believe we
all tended to be suspicious"
and as a result we repeated
many of our questions to diff
ferent persons to try to check
answers. We came away con-
vinced that the schools we saw
were fairly typical of the schools
within the Russian, Ukranian,
and Georgian sectors of the So
Wet Union.

that was to become one of the
most exciting trips | have taken
in my life.
Tensions Relaxed
AS you probably realize, the
Soviet Union has long conceal
ed its operations behind an
iron curtain" People of the
Soviet Union hear little about
the doings of the outside world
and conversely people in coun-
tries such as United States and
Great Britain have heard little
of what has been going on in
the Soviet Union. Only within
the past few years have rela-
tions begun to relax with the
resulting exchange of cultural
pl 0grams, exchange of tourists
between the United States and
the Soviet Union, and subse-
quent better communications
between the USSR and the USA.
Americans would probably
not be concerned with the edu-
cational program of the USSR
had it not been for the advent
of "sputnik." In the frenzied
search for scapegoat on which
to blame the failure of United
States to be the first to gain
supremacy of space travel, the
school-e S pecially the high
school in the United States
became a prime object. In the
wave of comparisons that fol-
lowed, a number of spokesmer
indicated that the Russian SUI
premacy in space resulted prim
arily from Russian supremacy
in education, especially in the
ten-year educational program:
of the Soviet schools. Soon one
began to hear a number o
claims and counter claims con
cerning the possible Russian ad
vances in industry, science, med
icine, and agriculture. Soon del

DR.. Kirk has been superin-

He has also been instrumental
in strengthening the academic

Deep-Woter Challenge

The Australia United States sports
rivalry that has held the center of the
international tennis stage for many
years is promising colorful cofeature
event in 1862. For the first time, the
Aussies have challenged for the 109-
year-old Americas Cup, the battered
silver mug" that symbolizeS the world
yachting championship. The challenge,
posted by the Royal Sydney Yacht
Squadron, already has been accepted
by the New York Yacht Club, present
holder of the cup. Unless the challenger
decides to participate in preliminary
elimination races with other British
Commonwealth clubs, a new 12-meter
Sloop flying the Australian flag will be
testing American sailors and their craft
off Newport, Rhode Island, at race time.
Only British and Canadian yachts
ever before have tried to capture the
trophy that has been on this side of the
Atlantic since 1851. None has been sue
ceSSful, and the 1858 challenge was
settled in four straight victories by the
Columbia over the British-built Sceptre.
American-built Vim, speedy trial horse
in 1858, is under Australian lease now
and may serve as a model for the new
challenger. It is good bet right now
that the 1862 races will be tough and
dramatic.

Good Radiance

Falls Church has set a good ex-
ample for other Virginia communities
which are wrestling with the problem
of what to do about the inequitable
personal property tax. Under a recent
State law the local authorities may
abolish this tax if they see fit. Falls
Church is the first Northern Virginia
jurisdiction to take advantage of the
law. Others may follow its lead-as they
should, provided its elimination will not
seriously upset budget-balancing plans.
In the case of Falls Church, the tax
on all household goods was done away
with, although personal property levies
on automobiles and various types of
commercial equipment were increased.
It is the tax on household furnishings
and personal property, however, which
has led to rising demands for an end to
the tax. Because it has been imprac-
ticable for officials to appraise all such
property, the evaluations have been
made on the basis of an arbitrary for
mula, or have been left to the taxpayers,
with grossly disproportionate appraisals
and hence unrealistic levies-result-
ing.
Now officials in Arlington and Fair
fax Counties and in Alexandria are apt
to find the popular demand for similar
action growing in volume. Arlington
Board Member Herbert L. Brown con-
siders the tax undesirable and unfair"
but believes it would not be feasible to
eliminate the tax this year, in view of
budgetary needs. Fairfax Board Chair
man Anne Wilkins agrees that the tax
is inequitable, but she, too, feels that the
time is not ripe to drop it. Alexandria
Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim expressed
similar views. This widespread fiscal di-
lemma would have been greatly eased If
the Virginia General Assembly had
adopted sales tax. If the Legislature
finally approves sales-tax plan at it's
next session, the first move of local gov
ernments ought to be the killing of the
dishonesty breeding tax on personal
goods.
