Cars Very Few
The Soviet schools also have
one hour per week of driver
training in most of the schools
in grades 9 or 10. Some of the
schools have this training with
"a car and the students actually
do practical road work. In the
majority of cases, however, the
driver training program is car
ried on within the schools in an
academic way with certain de-
vices used to simulate actual
driving. 1t was extremely inter
esting to note the Soviet schools
were teaching driver training in
sofar as the majority of the peo-
pie in the Soviet Union do not
own cars and there appears to
be little likelihood that they will
within the next five years at
least.
Even if the above program
with the Soviet schools was the
extent of the extra curricular
activities, one could still not
consider it poor" Actually this
program is only the beginning.
In the Soviet Union an out-of-
school extra curricular program
has been organized for the boys
and girls. This extra curricular
program is run in winter "pion-
eer palaces" or pioneer houses.
These buildings are equipped
elaborately for a wide variety OF
activities and are stated with

World Premiere
OF The Best Man

olay by Gore Vidal starring Mel
vyn Douglas, Lee Tracy and
Frank Lovejoy, will have its
world premiere at The Play
house in Wilmington on We'd
nesday evening, March 9 for a
four-day engagement.
Gore Vidal is the well-known
novelist, critic and television
playwright, whose first Broad
way play was the comedy smash
hit, "a Visit to a Small Planet" "
For the stars of "The Best Man, "
Melvyn Douglas, Lee Tracy and
Frank Lovejoy, he has now writ
ten a taut and stirring drama
capturing all the excitement of
the political conventions.
Mr.. Vidal, grandson of Sena-
tor Thomas P. Gore, has in his
new colorful play exploited the
tensions and violence of the
struggle between two potential
nominees, MIR. Douglas and MIR.
Lovejoy, to be chosen their par
tvs candidate. The party is
neither one nor the other, but a
composite of both. One of the
candidates is a man of principal;
the other a completely unscrup-
ulous adversary. Lee Tracy plays

EDUCATION IN THE SOVIET UNION"
US. Extra-Curricular Programs
Rated Superior to Soviet Schools
BY DR.. GEORGE v. KIRK

EDITORS NOTE: This is
the seventh in a series of ar
ticleS written especially for
this paper by DR.. Kirk, SUI
perintendent of Smyrna
Special Schools, on his re-
cent trip to the Soviet Un-
ion. Questions addressed to
the author concerning the
trip, people, living condi-
tions, etc., behind the Iron
Curtain may be sent to The
Smyrna Times, Kirk Pro-
ject, 1927 Commerce ST.,
Smyrna, Delaware.
Many people, on hearing the
heavy academic program of the
Soviet Union, tend to assume
that the educational program of
the Soviet schools stops there.
This is not true. In the first
place, as has already been men,
toned, the Soviet schools offer
art and singing in grades l thru
6 for one hour per week, handi-
crafts in grades l thru 7 for
or 2 hours per week, and physi-
cal education throughout the en-
tire ten-year school for 2 hours
per week. We saw students par
ticipating in these programs
within the schools. While the art
followed the usual Soviet pat
tern everyone in the class was
drawing the same design at the
same time) the youngsters were
doing some very fine work. In
the case of physical education
the schools we visited did not
have gymnasiums that were
built like those in the u. S. How
ever, they had tremendous var
iety of equipment to use within
the gymnasium. In one case, in
an elementary class we saw an
instructor throw out 8 or 10 ex-

Istate-paid, qualified teachers,
These programs operate in the
lafternoon, evenings, and Satur-
days and Sundays. While they
are voluntary, considerable pres
sure is exerted on the students
to attend.
Small children in the. Soviet
Union may join the Octoberists.
This organization is named after
the October Revolution. Later
the youngsters are called "pion-
eers," and boys and girls with
Ithe cir characteristic red-neck
scarves are obvious in the class
room and on the street. Some
schools told us that 809o of the
boys and girls belonged to the
pioneers; other schools proudly
announced that from $3.50 to
$500 were pioneers. Pioneers are
expected to attend the pioneer
houses or pioneer palaces at
least two days a week.
Pioneer Palaces
We visited several of these
pioneer palaces in each of the
republics through which we
travelled. Everywhere they were
essentially the same, and exist
for the benefit of the boys and
girls.
We visited our first pioneer
palace on a Saturday. We could
hear the noise of the boys and
girls running around, shouting
and having a good time, as we
entered the building. The build
ing was formerly a palace of the
czar, elaborately decorated, and
all of the decoration had been
maintained. In one large room a
sizable group of boys and girls
were participating in what we
might call folk dancing" A vol
unteer orchestra of men from
the community was seated on a
ledge above the main floor play
ing for this group. Several in
structors were showing the boys
and girls how to do the dances.
We then entered another room
where a group of boys and girls
were participating in playing
chess. Chess is a very popular
game in the Soviet Union. 1t was
easy to observe that the boys
and girls knew what they were
doing, and the instructor asked
some of us to sit down and chal-
|lenge one of the boys to game.
These students, he stated, came
in each Saturday for several
hours. Each student was provid-
led with a text book illustrating
the various moves that one could
make in playing a better game
of chess.
In another large room there
were paintings on all four walls.
These paintings depicted stories
from Soviet Mythology. One of
the teachers told us that boys
and girls are brought into this
room, seated on the floor, and
told stories about the paintings
that are on the wall.
Science was not forgotten in
the pioneer palace. In several
rooms we noticed scientific in
struments; one room was set
aside for the study of weather.
Another room had equipment
flor the study of radio and tele-
vision. In one of the pioneer pal
aces we were shown a movie
which we were told was made"
by the boys and girls.
Pioneer palaces had number
of circles" such as sewing,
cooking and homemaking.
