SOVIET REGIME
NEW SCHOOL METHODS. COMPULSORY PROGRAMME. TSARIST SYSTEM ABOLISHED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received August 14, 9.10 a.m. LONDON, Aug. 13. A Moscow correspondent says: “M. Bubnox, the new Commissar of Education, has completely swept away the Tsarist school system. The Soviet is preparing a compulsory programme for sixteen million children from eight to ten years of age, and the curriculum ■ will be free from ‘religious mysticism and metaphysical trash.’ ' “The children will be taught to expect to fight to protect the State from invasion. Boys and girls will begin at the age of nine to learn military drill, which will be accompanied by sports and physical training. “The schools will be the most modern in the world. “The country institutions are providing training in scientific agriculture, tire city schools’ curriculum being concerned with factories.”
