    THE BAT TALION

PROFESSOR HALPERIN

elected by district committees who
in turn are elected by the people or
a committee appointed by the people
whose duties as Yepublics are to
take control of faculties laffecting'
the life in general of the people. To
exercise these faculties the republics
are composed of consulates of the
people in^ leducation, pheasant in
spection, trade and commerce, play
and recreation, and a general indus
trial committee for the control of all
industry, it often being known of
them to sacrifice the output of one
industry for the betterment of an
other.
At present the Russians are trying
to rebuild and are doing much adver
tising towards this ’end; they are
also a people who can be trusted.
They have advanced very rapidly and
will probably lead the world in an
other ten years. Electricity is their
ideal.
The Russian scheme or idea of edu
cation seems to be far more develop
ed toward the ideal system than at
present exists in the United States,
for the Russian of 25 years has a
more eloquent flow of speech than
the American of today; they have
some 400 art museums of which a-
bout 44 are in Moscow and consist
of the following types: 'industrial,
traveling, social, historic, and bi
ologic, and as an example of their
interest in the mastery of such
work, they allow no one to be a guide
in such museums unless he be a stu
dent or professor of the arts.
Economic conditions in Russia are
encouraging. The currency seems to
be nearly uniformly distributed a-
mong all the people; anything can
be purchased from the stores except
luxuries which have to be imported
and which are therefore abhorred.
Marriage can be of common law
or consent without written document
and in case of the birth of a child
the father necessarily assumes the
responsibility of ;.i,ts carfe with its
mother and they thus live together
without legal consent. It is a custom
which requires no legislation.

The heads of departments have
agreed to furnish advisors to help
the students solve the problems which
such an extensive project is certain
to give rise to, and the Extension
Service and Experiment Station will
lend their cooperation in making it
and that holds for careers, too!
