IMPROVEMENT IN EDUCATION

THE TEACHER

The tessbnb innuance upon elu character of his pupils is like- wise far-reaching. It is not some- thing which can be assumed or laid aside at will. It is exerted not only. through the instruction he gives and the things the pupils do under his direction. but even more by the kind of person he is and the example he sets. His in- trests. hobbies, and appreciations may be the means of arousing in his pupils similar interests and

ambitions whim may beets do- minating forees in their lives. While it is not desirable that the teacher should pose to his pupils as a model, nevertheless in fundamentals should be all th

upils to become. u.

e should have a social view. an attitude of r ward child personality, and s gen- uine desira to assist in bringing the lives of his pupils to teir fullest realization.

RUSSIA

Russia ls by far the largest coun- try oi Europe. It consists of four principal and many smaller parts, which have formed a Union call- ed the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. This includes a large ares in Asia. The word "Soviet" means a council. and the GOVETH- ment is carried on by men np- polnted by the councils (or So- viets) of workers. peasants, and

Nearly all Russia is a great plain. The Ural Moun- tains lie between European and Asiatic Russia. Russia has many large rivers, Neva, Volka, Oka. Kama. and others. All the rivers of Russia are frozen over in win- ter, and this makes them less use- ful for commerce. Overland journeys are easiest in winter be- cause people can travel in sledges. The climate of Russia is contin- ental. The country stretches so far from north to south that there are many different varieties of continental climpte and also many varieties of vegetation.

i. 1n the far north there are the tundras. This is the home oi the reindeer.

2. South of this comes a vast forest region-farther south the land is cleared and grain is grown.

3_ Next to forest region is s re- ion of gran, wheat and fruit and. This h the famous Black Earth region with very fertile poll. f-Iere the population is most iense.

4. Next come the barren step-

-pes which are desert except in spr ng time when the whole land is covered with grass and won- derful spring flowers.

5. Lastly, along the edge of the Black Sea, the climate is more nearly Mediterranean and olives, vines, maize and cotton can be grown. Near the Baltic flax and hemp are grown, which along with timber, hides, eggs and dairy pro- duce. are exported from Baltic

ports. .

The Ukraine is the greatest wheat-producing area, and this exported from Odessa, the prin- cipal port oi the Ukraine. Fishing is an important industry on the Russian coast. Russia has valu- able minerals as, coal, iron, gold. plalinum and copper. There are also oil wells.

Neva. River, flows from Lake Ladoga. into Gulf of Finland: ice free for seven months. Leningrad is at its mouth.

The Volga is connected with the Neva, and also with the N. Dvina, by s. system oi canals. Oka and Kama are tributaries of the Volga.

Don rises in Lake Ivan, flows south through N. Caucasian Area. enters Sea of Azov, i325 miles llong. Dniester rises in N. E_ Car- pathians (Czechoslovakia), flows past Yampal rapids to enter Black Sea through a shallow lagoon.
