We have been told that a few days ago several American pedagogues, headed by Mr. Thompson, a well-known worker in the field of pedagogics, have visited the South Side School.

The Americans had become interested in this modest Russian school and asked many questions about its program and the methods of teaching used in it.

They were very interested in the fact that Russian history and the geography of Russia are being taught in this school.

Evidently, the Russian schools begin to arouse some interest among the Americans.

Probably this small cultured nook of the Russian colony has made a 2favorable impression on the visitors: it is agreeable to see that in very modest surroundings children are assiduously studying the language of their fathers' native country and are learning all about that country.
