lar school will study that par
ticular foreign language. For
example. if you attend a school
in which the foreign language
being studied is English, you
must study English.
In the United States boys and
girls taking the commercial
course or vocational course US
ually do not study a foreign
language. In the Soviet schools
all of the boys and girls at
tending the ten-year school must
study a foreign language be-
ginning in grade 5.
Most of the schools which we
visited were studying English as
their foreign language. On sew
eral occasions we visited schools
that taught German. We heard
of other schools where boys and
girls study Chinese.
We were, of course, interest
ed in knowing how efficient the
boys and girls were after hav-
ing had six years of foreign
language, therefore we made a
point of trying to talk with boys
and girls in grade 10 (who
would be of the age of the boys
and girls in grade IL in the
American schooD. These boys
and girls had had S years of
English. We found that it was
not possible to speak fluently
with any of these boys and girls
and, as a matter of fact, many
of them could not understand
simple sent tences which we
would say very, very slowly for
them. 1t appeared that in many
cases foreign language study in
the Soviet Union was (much like
the foreign language study in
many American schools), a mat
ter of grammar, reading from
a textbook with translations,
but with little carry over into
everyday conversation. The So
Wet Union has for many years
excluded Americans and, as a
result, the boys and girls have
not had first-hand contact with
the American language. Interest
in Americans and in English ran
high however, and l personally
believe that the Soviet boys and
girls will some day be able to
speak English better than they
are now. They are certainly do
ing more in the study of Eng
lish than we have been doing
in the study of Russian. We
discussed this particular point
because it was one bit of evil
dence that the Soviet schools
were not living up to the repu-
tation given them in the United
States by some observers. Even
our guide, who had gone through
four or five years of college be-
yond the high school, and had
specialized in foreign language
study, did not speak English
with complete accuracy. There
is no doubt, however, that there
are graduates of American uni
versities who have had three or
four years of a foreign langu-
age who do not speak that Ian
guage with fluency at all. The
Soviet Union is emphasizing
foreign languages and has few

ing these times. This did not
seem of any concern at all to
the Soviet teachers who did not
seem to be supervising the boys
and girls in any way during
these periods.
During the fourth year of ed
ucation, Cat which time the So
Wet student is of the age of
the fifth-grade American pupiD,
several new subjects are intro
duced-namely geography, his
tory, and biology. The school
week is heightened from "a
hours to rs hours per week. In
the fifth grade the Soviet stu
dents generally begin instruc-
ton in foreign language. This
instruction is so important, and
so different from that which is
carried out in the American
schools, some time will now be
taken in presenting information
concerning the study of foreign
languages in the Soviet school.
Foreign Languages
Generally in the Soviet schols
all students have to learn the
Russian language. This langu-
age is learned in addition to
their native language. Many
Americans do not realize the
fact that in the Soviet Union
there are more than go langu-
ages, both written and spoken,
being taught in the Soviet
schools. There is a separate
written and spoken language in
the Georgian Republic of the
Soviet Union for example. This
is the Republic from which Stall
in came. The various republics
are to the Soviet Union much
as the various states are to the
United States. In the Ukranian
Republic the same text books
are published but in the Ukran-
ian language, not in Russian.
By official decree, all youngs-
ters within the Soviet Union
must study the written and
spoken Russian language. There
fore, fourteen of the fifteen re-
publics (all those except the
Russian Republic) study two
languages-the one which is ma
tive to their area and the Rus
sian language.
In addition to this, a foreign
language is generally begun in
the Soviet schools in grade five.
This is taught approximately
four hours a week in grades 5
and 6, three hours a week in
grades 7, 8, 8, and 10. This
means that the Soviet student
gets twenty" hours of a for
eign language. In American
high schools generally three
years of foreign language is
taught for five hours per week
or a total of fifteen" hours
during the three years. If an
American student takes a for
eign language for four years he
receives approximately the same
number of total hours of langu-
age as the Soviet student. How
ever, he would not receive it
over such a long period of time,
nor would he begin it as early.
English Popular
In the Soviet schools there is
not a completely free choice of
languages. Each school tends to
have a speciality of one foreign
language which it teaches. All
students attending that particu-

20 Cents for Each Vote
The pending bill would make
it possible for a political party
to spend in a presidential cam
paign an amount equal to 2C
cents for each vote cast in any
one of the last three presiden-
tial elections.
In 1856, for example, So mil.
lion votes were cast for all can

a national political committee

No Action Before Primaries
The Nation is on the eve Of

no work on a comparable bill.

presidency must make Federal
