Comrades! The great Russian revolution stirred the deepest strata of the toiling masses in our homeland. From a slave without right or speech, the working class became all at once the master of the great Russian country. They proved to be a master without knowledge and without experience.

In order to rule so great a country, in order to organize the economy of the country, which has been subjected to ruin by war and counter-revolution for a number of years, experience and knowledge are indispensable. Therefore, things did not go right in the beginning of the revolution; there was a scarcity of experienced and educated peasants. It is true that Russia suffered much from the intervention of the foreign capitalists, who with their armies invaded the country from 2all sides, attempting to crush the revolution and to reinstate a tsar. With internal enemies, the capitalists, the land owners, and the nobility; with the help of parties hostile to the Soviet; with the Social-Revolutionists and the monarchists organizing counter-revolutionary uprisings and sabotaging; and with other forces interfering with the organizing of a peaceful order of life in the country, it was impossible to set up a stable government. If the workingmen and the peasants had been better equipped with knowledge, Russia would have suffered less. At present things are getting into shape in Russia, but there still exists a scarcity of experienced workers. Remember that up to the revolution, Russia had only twenty-one per cent of literacy in her population, i. e., of every hundred only twenty-one could read and write. Now the educational program is making big strides.

But what about us the Russian immigrants living in Chicago?

There is here a society of technical assistance to the Soviet. This 3society has a school for adults and children. Come and learn in this school. Equip yourselves with experience and knowledge, so that upon coming back to your homeland you will be able to help in the building up of the country, in the construction of a new life, and in the governing of it.

Send your children to study in this school. Give your children the knowledge of their native tongue; give them the opportunity of knowing the country of their origin. Fathers and mothers, do not estrange your children from their own family and from Russia by giving them an American education only! Your children must know your language! Do all you can so that our school, which is your school, may attract many pupils.

Registration of pupils will continue through September 12 to September 25 in the school, 1417 N. Hoyne Avenue. The following subjects 4will be taught: Russian language, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, drawing, automobile construction, tractors, farming, etc.

When there are a sufficient number of students enrolled, courses in dramatics will be organized.
