T1he required courses will be taken in a carefully structured sequence.

Prop p '~~p For R Editor's Note: This is the sec ond of three articles on Dr. E.R. Crow's observation and differ ences between the Russian and the United States' school sys tems after spending three weeks in Rtussia along with 18 other prominent men in the U. S. in ike E ducational Field. Dr. Crow is the Director of the State Ed tirotional Finance Commission. nr. Crow discussed the Russian school's subject program in the first article ats compared to the tUnited States'. In this article he will discuss how the Russian stu dents are propagandized, job op portunities for Russian college gradiuten Rin th . e theaEurcuaioramil.D.Co isFthe g)raecoos the eiE verities,susdth Russia'setresho scolsbetprogram isnevlyso wthep tefirnt fcl ever coartoomh hanll aicure hof thim.ssia stu dlents look ptopahimot ob sphei IoThnite forllowin olepreset tocamtus ndrusinclsuded "Fro grade6 schoolt ter uni frorm ishea5,407 studeth pp toriu is a$8.ueof00. n Fo t"Gaot f ry cn laroo hDnebapitue ohiThe u ArfSloktimst olya thre ir Tude Sena The fliarSceiesnt (d) ram Groupicue th T916 coolAr.T (e)ront ingen,07 tuntsd ee" on$8.0 (c)Ecoc"y bt (debGated Team nit Artitvers S () "Cucible"dr or tinent Fno 1)anRep (c)Litray Scieie (d) Drama Grou aganda Is ussian Edu intellectual leader but their Go< as well." They are taught that t< believe in God or the church it unpatriotic. They are taught too that every word written or spoker by Lenin should be considerec devinely. Be it picture, statue o1 spirit, Lenin is always looking down on them. A NOTHER thing Dr. Crom pointed out was that when s man or woman in the Unitec States finishes college, he or shf can interview any potential em. ployer he desires and go to wort for whomever he wishes. But ir Russia when a man or womar finishes college, the governmeni has a job waiting for him. The jol wvill be whatever they want hini to have. The top men or women in their class may have a choic< of one or twvo locations but never in the job itself. One of the most profound dif ferences betwveen the Russian schools and the United States' is in their extra-curricula programs.

They don't have inter school athletic programs. Nothing is sponsored by the schools. The students derive nothing out of school but what they obtain from their textbooks. The government in Russia has a "Young Pioneer's Club" for boys and girls between the ages of 10-16. Everyone between these ages must belong to this club. Emphases is place on sports, danc ing and the arts. Dr. Crow noted that ballet was a favorite among the students of Russia. In the "Young Pioneers Club" as well as in the classroom the students are fed heavily with p)ropaganda. WHEN these students reach the age of 1(6, they graduate from the "young Pioneers" to an other club, the "Komsomol." Much of the program is speeded up and they are introduced to adlvanced training. They stay in the "Kom somol" until they are 26. Nowv at the age of 26 the awvaited day arrives for at this age, one may join the Communist party if he is selected. But ac cording to Dr. Crow, only a very small percentage of the trainees make it. Only 10% of the people in Russia are permitted to join the Communist Party and they are the creme of the crop.

But we do realize that the meaning of life is simply to live life - to live it when it is bearable, to live it when it ap proaches the unbearab!e. To live is to live. To live now, not tomorrow, not when things get better, but to live now. That is the joy of it all; that is the meaning of it all; that is all that is all. Only when we live -- really live -- can we be thankful. Only when we have the courage to see life as it is, to face it, and to respon(d to it with integrity, honesty, frankness, can we really live. And, strangely enough, with this life cones thank fulness. For we (an only he thank ful when we are able to sense that despite all the horror, slop, and slime of life, life is still primarily good, life is still a gift of God, life is a gift worthy of receiving.
