In drawing these millions of children into it's schools the Soviet regime publicly assumes respon- aibility for their physical as well as their mental care.

MAN WHO DISCLOSED IT LEAVES £260.

Mr. Conrad Donald im Thur, of Eaton Terrace, S.W., through whose agency the Zinovieff letter which played a. prominent part in the general election of 1924, was made public, left unsettled property valued at £262.

Letters of administration have been granted to his widow, Mrs. Isabel Anita in Thurn.

The Commissariat of Education estimates that, in the forthcoming school-year, beginning this autumn. it must have 40,000 new teachers. new It must prepare $2,000,000 school books and 200,000,000 note- books. The budget for education must be increased to 1,100,000,000 roubles.

Exacting as this burden might be for any other country, it is infinitely more so for the Soviet Union be- at the same time, cause it is, shouldering equally stupendous tasks in other fields.

The breath-taking educational pland coincide. with the very apex of the five-year plan in industry. vast schemes for socialising the land, unprecedented plans for the breeding of livestock and a dozen other related enterprises.

In Moscow, where the number of children in schoola is relatively high, 350,000 new pupils must be accommodated on October 1, neces- sitating about 800 new schools and over 4,000 additional teachers..

NO MORE EXAMS. SURVEYORS AND WASTED SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Council of the Surveyors' Institution of Great Britain has decided to discontinue the system of awarding scholarships on the result of a competitive examination,

In future awards will be made by selection, and consideration will be given to the applicant's school re- cord, his personality and his Inten- tions regarding his future career.

There will be offered annually one' three-year scholarship, worth £100 per annum, and three one-year scholarships of £125 each, which will be, tenable at the University of Cambridge, except where the Bue- cessful applicant for a one-year scholarship has applied to use his emoluments for travel.

"There is a very good reason for the council's decision," said Mr. A. Goddard, secretary of the Surveyors'. Institution in an interview. "We discovered that boys were taking our scholarships-at a cost to the Institution of hundreds of pounds and then embarking on other careers for which the scholarships were not granted.
