Russ Education Comes To Front

WASHINGTON UP — Tv/o years ago, a high Soviet official told an American educator who was visiting Russia: “We’re not going to fight a hot war with you. We’re going to lick you in the classroom.’’ Few Americans were prepared in 1955 to take this Soviet boa - seriously. The U. S. school system, despite its “temporary’ shortages of space and faculty, was widely regarded then as the best in the world. Russia w.. credited with a few good technical schools but its overall educational system was considered rather primitive. Three recent developments have shaken rudely such American complacency: 1. Disclosure that Russia is training far more scientists and engineers than the United States. Russian schools graduate 60.090 engineers a year to our 111.000 8.000 Ph. D.’s in science to otu 6,000. 2. Sputniks I and II blasted any notion that Russia i^ sacrificing quality for quantity in technical education. 3. A U. S. Office of Education report showed that Russian students work much longer and harder, and receive far more intensive training in science, math-

ematics and languages. than American students. President Eisenhower had all of these facts in mind when he said in his Nov. 14 broadcast that strengthening U. S. schools is "the most critical problem" confronting the nation in its race with Russia for scientific and inilitary supremacy. The President’s wanting since as been echoed by leading scintists and educators and by milions of parents who were conernod about the state of our schools before 3putnik I and II. While everyone seems to agree hat America needs better chools, a United Press survey isclosed a wide lange of views n the kind of improvements «,Oot urgently needed. L German Reds Fleeing To West The East German Communists are getting alarmed over the steady flow of refugees to West Berlin and West Germany. There are increasing indications that the Communist puppet regime may soon try to stop the flight by isolating West Berlin and tightening control of the border between East and West Germany. If that happens, it may mean

rerious trouble for West Berlin, which is isolated from West Germany by a 110-mile stretch of Gonununist-controll:d U ri i tom-. Since 1949. when West Grrnany’s remarkable economic recovery got really started, about 2 million East Germans hn* e led the Communist par t of the country. Most of them have crossed trom East Berlin to Wes’ Berlin. The flight has reduced East Germany's population by more than 10 percent. The flow of refugees continues at the rate of about 300,000 a year. Until recently the East German Reds did little to stop tr.r movement. One reason was that East German economy is in a bad state, especially since the Polish revolt, which sharply reduced the amount of raw materials available for factories. Another was that those who fled ob-

viously were e ramies of the Co n munist regime end potenL’.ul ! trouble makers. But now the flight from P' ! rule stems t. h • ve rui •heir t! »• ; point where its continuance w.Il i weaken Ea-d German indust-y. The refugees arriving in Wes j Berlin and West Germany n »w | include a big proportion of intclj lectuals and skilled workMore than half 'f those who !!■ ; are under 25 years of age. C nnj munist officials and members * i the miltarized Red police i scattered among tne older on.-r Any determined Communi t j move to stop the fl girt would I tend to imroa-' 1 lire is >lation i ! West Bo lin. Western officials fear that. r one thing, ihe Reds as part ot i.t isolation campaign would impede j railroad and highway communications between West Berlin and 1 West Germany.
