states, Although the new geo.
graphy text books contain ques-
tions in assignments, exercises
in problems for classwork and
homework, many teachers con-
tinue to adhere to the old ira
dition of preferring the old meth
cd of teaching. The homework

ed primarily to a single type
the study of the textbook"
One may conclude from such
statements that certain persons
within the Soviet Union are far
from pleased with the Soviet ed
ucational program. This is not
to say that the educational pro-
gram offered the Soviet children
is poor any more than it is to
say that the educational pro-
gram offered in the United
States is poor merely because
certain persons find much in it
of which to be critical.

yates to be insufficiently liter.
ate."
1t is evidently only in the
United States that the Russian
educational program is regarded
as Utopian.
Lock Step Instruction
AS we stated earlier, one oi
the things that impressed the
visiting delegation of American
administrators was the ''lock
step" type of instruction that
was given in many of the class
es. All of the students would
do the same thing at the same
time, and at the same rate under
the direction of a teacher. Nc
student worked faster than the
rest. One of the specialists OF
the Ministry of Education of the
RSFSR has made the following
statement concerning this stu
alton: Zone of the reasons fol-
the fundamental gaps in pupils
knowledges of geography is the
persistent monotony of teaching
methods, and the insufficient at
tention of some teachers to the
development in pupils of skills
in independent work. This leads
to passive attitude of pupils ir
the educational process and con-
siderably lowers their level oil
knowledge" Another writer

learn much by heart but show
little initiative or interest in the
subject. This is the result of con-
stant rushing which is caused by
overwork."
Physical Education Low
Some of the Soviet leaders
have also been criticising the
lack of a better physical educa-
tion program within the Soviet
schools. One writer states, "Phy-
sical training remains at a low
level in our schools. Up to 70
per cent of those who enter our
universities cannot swim or ski. "
Several persons in the United
States, having observed the tests
which were given in the Soviet
Union at the end of the tenth
grade, have recommended that
this testing program be instigat-
ed in the United States. 1t is
rather interesting, therefore, to
read in one of the Soviet Journ-
ais written in Russian, the fol-
lowing quotation which reports
on the testing of the Russian
language within one of the Tar
tar schools. Some tests were ad-
ministered by a special commit
tee following the administration
of the usual tests. The second
set of test administrators write,
'In most cases the marks which
have been given by teachers
were at sharp variance with
those received by the inspec-
tors tests. For example, one
teacher of secondary school No
s was giving passing marks to
all his eigth grade pupils, but 70
per cent of his pupils failed the
inspectors tests. Grading by
some teachers is characterized
by liberalism. We also read
However, inspection by the
ministry of education of the
RSFSR reveal that these data dc
not correspond with the actual
knowledge of pupils and are the
result of liberality and down
right deception in grading. Ir
one school, for instance, school
figures placed achievement al
86.5 but the testing administer
ed by the inspector found the
figure of 1913" The following
quotation could easily have beer
written by a professor from ar
American University on the pool
preparation of American stu
dents in English, "The greatest
number of failures is in Russian
language courses and the mum
ber of pupils who must repeat
a year because of poor prepara'
ton in Russian language contin'
ues to be very high, and it is not
rare for secondary school grad.

"EDUCATION IN THE SOVIET UNION"
Soviet System Struggles In Effort
TO Bring Education Closer To Life
By DIR. GEORGE v. KIRK

1858 the Vice-President of the
Academy of Pedagogical Sci
ences in the Russian Federation
stated, 'Now as we reorganize
our schools while using and re-
lying on extremely rich expert
ence of forty years of school
construction, let us not cling to
what has outlived itself and is
obsolete" The Soviet leaders
feel that their educational pro-
gram has not produced enough
people who know about PRO
ductive labor" One of the De-
puties of the Supreme Soviet has
stated, 'The schools main task,
the teachers sacred duty, is to
prepare our children beginning
in the tender years for labor: to
raise a generation of new people
who would build Communism
with their young hands" All of
this has resulted in the attempt
to weed out of the school GER
tain of the academic concepts
that now exist, and to replace
them with labor training" This
program has already been ap-
proved by the Supreme Soviet
and by a number of other organ
izations within the Soviet Union.
lI-Year School Planned
The progra envisions a
change from a ten-year school
to an eleven-year school. This
will mean that the student will
start at the age of seven but will
graduate at the same age as the
student does in the United
States. One of the years OF
schooling, or perhaps several
years, will be spent with at least
one or two days a week in the
factories learning practical fac
tory labor. The present Labor
lessons" or industrial art cours-
es will be replaced with work
within factories. 1t appears GER
tain that provisions now highly
acclaimed in the United States
relative to the Soviet program
are actually under strong criti-
cism by the Soviets themselves,
and will probably be modified or
changed.
Some teachers and admins
traitors within the Soviet Union
have been recommending a wild
er program of work so that stu
dents might select some of their
curriculum. One such article
states, "Such a reform would
Immediately solve two funda-
mental problems. 1t would radi-
cally decrease pupils program
and bring it closer to his inter-
est. The results would be an end
to pupil overwork, better health
of the children, free time for
outside-school activities" Many
of the persons criticising the So
Wet academic program use state
ments such as the following
which is taken from a Soviet
Journal: 'They (the students)

EDITORS NOTE: This is
the eighth in a series of ar
ticles written especially for
this paper by DR.. Kirk, su-
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.
In one way, certainly, the So
viets are much like the United
States. The people of the Soviet
Union and a number of govern
ment officials have, for the past
few years, been criticizing the
educational program within the
Soviet Union. AS you will recall,
the Soviet Union Education Pro-
gram as far as the Ten-Year
School is concerned begins at
age 7 and continues for a ten
year period with a strongly aca-
demic program including alge-
bra, geometry, trigonometry,
chemistry, stron on y, geo.
graphy, history, foreign langu-
ages, biology, Russian language
and literature for all boys and
girls. There is no program for
those youngsters who wish to
enter commercial work or indus
trial. These youngsters must
either attend night school after
they finish the ten-year program
or attend another school.
Several times during our trip
we asked principals and teach
ers, What is the biggest prob
lem in education in the Soviet
Union?" Their answer was start
ling. They said, "Our biggest
problem is to bring Soviet edu-
cation closer to life" This
sounds like a statement that
would have been made in the
1905 by someone whom we
would now call Progressive"
American Crisis
The Soviet educators know
very we'll the reaction in the
United States over the Soviet
program of education. In one ar
ticle written by Lavrukham,
within the Soviet, entitled "The
Education Crisis in the United
States," it is stated, 'Perplexity
and disarray now reign in the
ruling circles of the strongest
nation on earth which long have
boasted of their science and cul-
ture." This writer points out that
Americans are now critical OF
their schools and are trying to
pattern them after the Soviet
schools.
Nevertheless, the Sovie
schools continue in their plan of
revising their program to bring
their program "closer to life" In

NEW YORK, Mar. 7 (AP) -
When Villanova won it's second
straight IC-4A indoor track
championship two years ago
Coach Jim Elliott's future
seemed to be behind him.
The Wildcats lost almost
their entire team, including
the likes of Olympic champions
Ron Delany and Charlie Jen-
kins, by graduation. The road
back was going to be a long
one for Elliott.
Don't worry" he chirped
at the time. well be back. We

Elliott travelled the entire
road Saturday night when, to
his own amazement, Villanova
won the team championship
with q points. 1t wasn't de-
cided until the mile relay-last
of the Is events-when Villa
nova got home in 3:18.8.

For France, the Giletti ar
rival was a smashing triumph.
France had never won the
