Socialism is the main ideal which is to break down the great difference existing between the capitalists and the working class. It must fight for the equal education of the workers‘ children also.

Capitalists are doing their best to provide the best education for their children, but the workers‘ children are obtaining education mostly from public schools.

Capitalistic schools are teaching their pupils Science and distributing practical knowledge, but the workers‘ children are "fed" with fairy stories from the Old Testament.

A long time ago, People's schools became ineffective so far as their program 2 was concerned, and more and more adapted their program to serve the purpose of the capitalists‘, because, as the old proverb says: "It is easier to rule the masses when they are ignorant."

Socialism did not see children as future slaves of the capitalist regime, but as full-fledged and equal members of society. Socialism is against capitalistic culture, which is depriving the workers’ class of its rights to live intelligently and comfortably.

Schools in capitalistic countries are grooming reaction and military culture.

Socialism, on the contrary, is striving to put the schools in the service of liberty democracy, and strives to make them free in all grades from grammar school to college.

Socialism strives to make the present day schools Socialistic. 3 Feudal masters in the Middle Ages kept the schools with the main idea of developing good citizens of the feudal regime. Capitalistic governments of today have united their efforts with the church influence, and are doing everything possible to educate the masses to be obedient church followers, tireless workers, and soft material for exploitation. For this last reason, capitalistic schools are in open war with the working class.

The pious element should be entirely removed from the school program, because the general purpose of the school is to teach Science, which will help us to improve our lives right here in this world, but not to prepare us for an imaginary life in the sky.

The purpose of the school is to give the people practical knowledge, but the schools of today are dominated with the idea of distributing theoretical and practically worthless information.

Professional education is what the workers need badly. This type of education will give us an opportunity to develop skill and gain knowledge in several lines, and make it easier for us to find jobs. In the situation as it exists now-a-days, a minority of skilled laborers and experts monopolize the jobs. Socialist schools must develop in the pupils a sense of self- respect and initiative, and open to them a new horizon for ambition, not helpless slaves for capitalistic regime. Against the foolish theory of the six days‘ creation of the world, we must place the Darwin theory. The modern school, supported by scientists of reputation is exactly what we want.

Capitalists should not rule the schools and make the system conform to their selfish desire to promote intellectual ignorance.
