HOLDS RED REVOLT EVENT OF GENTURY History Professor Says Up- rising Will Be Followed by } National Greatness. B the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 28.— The Ruseian revolution will go down In history as the great event of the century, as the French revolution was in the eighteenth century, Prof. Frank A. Golder, professor of European his- tory at Lelapd Stanford University, asserted yestérday in an address be- fore the convention of the American Historlcal Association. Prof. Golder was in Russla at the outbreak of the revolution, leaving Petrograd in the summer of 1917 and returning four Years later for a visit lasting from August, 1921, to May, 1933. “I was oppressed by the misery I found —the disorganization of the rallways, scareity of food, aspect of the houses and slovenliness of the sol- diers. The old Russian intellectual lass had been cflmp!elel\ wiped out bv the revolution,” he stated. Later, he said, he noted great improvement in the situation, Stores were.open, trade was vigorous, the population ambitious and eager to earn & living and to save. All this he attributed to the new economic policy of the soviet, which allowed unhampered trade and ob- servance of the law of supply and demand. Everything then pointed to an carly recovery of Russia, he sald, but this trend was blasted by a re- 1apse the early part of this year. Will Recover, He Says. “The bolsheviks saw the threaten- ed return of idealism, took over the private presses, almofl. taxed new business out of existence and eco- nomic ~ depression set in." Prof. Golder predicted, however, that Rus- sla will recover and be as strong as ever. Prof. Edward P. Cheyney of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, president of the assoclation, conducted the after- noon session devoted to discussion of the contribution and place of history in the schools. A survey of special experiments ‘with the social studies in the schooly was given by J. Mont- gomery Gambrill of Columbia Uni- versity. ~Prof. Gambrill advocated the teaching of history with a view toward trafning for citizenship of both a national and universal char- acter. — e Believed to be the oldest active Masonic officlal in the country, Jo- ®eph Dinkle, ninety-eight years of age, has just begn re-elected tiler of the lodge in Bridgewater.
