" NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth /venue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. — LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE—1946 “If T know that I know little, T will strive to learn more; but if a man says he is a com- munist, and that he need know nothing thor- oughly, he will never be anything like a communist.” The above words may well give aid and comfort to the friends as well as the foes of the Soviet Union. * WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1946 begins at seven or eight. After a Seven-Year school, pupils may go on for three more, making them eligible for university or professional training, or they may enter a shorter trade school. The curriculum of the Ten-Year school is fairly standardized. In the primary grades: arithmetic, sim- ple geometry, the native language and Russian, nature study, geography, social science, polytechnized labor, music, art, and physical culture. By the time the pupil has reached the fifth class at 12 years of age, he has begun a foreign language. In the secondary grades: history, literature, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, biology, logic, psychology, military studies and other special subjects are added. A basic emphasis is what the Soviets call poly- technization, derived from the labor school with scien- tific and technical training in fusion with the arts and culture. The child is taught the significance and value of the labor proce science, technology and economic production upon which the life of man depends. The student learns this concretely by took, shop and laboratory work, and by visits to neighbor- ing farms, factories and hospitals. The question of freedom remains.

B ey WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Write, “I have ALREADY (one word) Write, “I am ALL INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Perhaps U S. Fellow trnv(‘uers :5 vf/vl(li nsIRed balu:xa the meetings of the A will be surprised that they are the words of none other g, ;o4 ¢ Newspaper Editors, was that press asso- than Nicolia Lenin, quoted in a new series of articles on the U. S. S. R. in the 1946 Encyclopedia Americana. However modest, even innocent at first glance, the words voice the unbounding Soviet faith in human perfectibility, if given the proper educational environ- ment, and also, of course, supreme confidence in their own system, writes John Somerville, Travelling Fellow of Columbia University, one of a score of American, British and Russian authorities contributing to the _Americana articles. It might also be pointed out that this faith is reminiscent of our own educators and Utopians of the Fabulous 1940's. Carefully distinguishing between Soviet educa- tional aims and objectives on the one hand, and the fletails of school structure and teaching procedure on the other, Mr. Somerville points out that according to the Soviet premise, all are worth educating. Hence it is a criminal offense to exercise any kind of dis- crimination based on race, color or sex in educational matters. Education, he points out, does not take place exclusively, or perhaps even primarily, in the class- room, but in press, radio, screen, theatre and general environment. Soviet children, needless to say, seldom find themselves' educated one way inside, other ways outside of school. Nor are they subjected to radio horror serials, commercial announcements, nor popular magazines exploiting murder and sensational crimes. _Disposing of the myth that Soviet children are yanked from their parents and raised in State insti- tutions, the review points out that although a five or six week old baby may enter a nursery, it is not | ciation news should not be used by the United States There appears to be nothing to PRESTIGE; moral influence due to past reputation.

Democratic nomination than Warren has of stopping Kenny. Two strong didates are out for the Democratic Senatorial nom- ination — Congressman Ellis Pat- fersen and ex-Congressman Will Rogers Jr. But the mud has been slinging so thick and fast between them that young Bill Knowland, working quietly, may slip through, Cefeat both Rogers and Patterson, thus clinch both nominations and the election. .
