. .., PROPAGANDA CAN'T VQOL YOUNG MIND
, Teacheri? in the Soviet Union, as .everybody knows, take
iprctty seriously- the idea that the purpose oi education is to
.fit the individual for a place in contemporary society. And
fsirtce, contemporary society,, to a young Prussian, means a
.Communistic state, Russian school children get a heavy dose
of Marxism along with the three It's. In their work and in
.their play, they are forever being inoculated with the idea
that everything, which is not Communist in its origin and
purpose is more or less worthless.
But Maxim Gorby,, famous llussian novelist, got curious,
Recently, and decided to find out just how the child mind re
acts to all, this. So he set to work to make a survey pf the
Russian school child's views 011 literature. Russian school
children, it should be explained, are allowed to read plenty of
Ixioks by non-Marxist writers; but the books that are most
constantly put in front of them, the ones they are urged to
read, are, 01 course, Communistic.
Well, anyway, this InvcstlKalor found that the five writers Russian child
ren most liked to read were none other than Jonathan tiwlft, Jules Verne.
Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickons and Murk Twain fnost of whom never so
much as heard .of Communism) All of which indicates, to begin with, that
RusBlnn chlluron have pretty good taste. In their roudlng. But It also proves
inn mo wiles 01 propagandists arc utterly powerless beforo the maglo of
the gonulno literary artist. 1 . .. . ,,
- Working up talcs about tractors, Communist youth, and the building of
a praiseworthy, occupation: but whore is the man who can give such 1
tale the sheer enchantment of a "David Copperfleld" or a "Twenty Thou,
sand Leagues Under the Sea?" ' t ;
The youngster who visits Robinson Crusoe's never-never island and hears
tho surf thundering along Its yellow beaches, or who travels In lazy con
tentment down the Mississippi with Huck Finn on Huck'e Immortal raft-
no has taken a trip beyond the bourne of time and place and he knows what
literature can do for the human spirit. ... - ;
Ho may be the most soulful of young Communists; but to ask him to turn
)lls bock on such adventures and prefer the put-up Job of a Marxist ipro
pegandlst Is to misunderstand human naturo about as completely as pos

Trucks mounted with mocliinc

scenes or yesterday in which two men
were shot to death and 34 wounded
In fierce clashes with police.
At Onkland, however, a striker was
perhaps fatally wounded when four
men attacked a steamship company
electrician. Clayton Miner, 27, Oak
land, wao shot through the abdomen
and physicians said iio probably
would die.
Headquarters or the national guard
were established In the city's lamed
Perry building here, located at the
foot or Market street.
Col. O'SulUvan said that a total of
6.500 troopers could be placed In the
district within a day If the need
arose, - - t , .
Sentries were placed on the side of
tho embarcadcro by the piers, while
police, relieved from their strenuous
duties of yesterday, kept guard at
strategic points to keep traffic away
from the "hot spots" of the rioting
which resulted In the fatalities.
No violence was reported today and
only a few strikers were observed
along the waterfront.
Meanwhile the labor disputes board
appointed by President Roosevelt had
issued no statement regarding the,
status of strike settlement negotla-
