Revolntion In Soviet
Kills Coedicatlon For
School System
Vouthfol Reds
Lost in the recent flood of
war news was a report on
changes to be made in the
Soviet education system, so
important as to amount to a
virtual new Russian revolu-
tion. Briefly—and contrary to
the trend elsewhere—the plan
will do away with coeducation
for most Russian children. For
the significance of the 'rnove,
Bill Downs, Newsweek and
CBS Mösfcow correspondent,
ha$ wirelessed this story:
After six mönths of experi-
mentation in the Moscow
schools, a new plan has been
devised which will be extended
to all the major cities of the
Soviet Union when the school
reopen on Aug. 25.
The first basic change pro-
vides .separte classes for boys
and girls from kindergarten
through high school. This
means that coeducation wili
exist only in the Soviet Union’s
universities, colleges, and
trades schools. The second
adjustment to separate sex
standards will be compulsory
military training to be introdu-
ced through all classes by Jan.
1. Third, there will be an ex-
pansion of extracurricular
activities to provide for control
and contact between boys and
girls, and to replace the lost
classroom liaison. This wiil be
done through “pioneer clubs,”
a state-sponsored youth organ-
izition built along the lines of
America’s Boy and Girl Scouts.
Explanation: An official re-
port on the plan by the direc-
tor Moscow Public School 89,
A. A. Solokhin, begins by
rhetorically countering the
argument that separation of the
sexes means “reinstitution of
inequality beween men and
women in the state.” — Solok-
hin replies that the differences
in adolescent studies create
differences in mental processes
which necessitate “different
pedagogical methods, special
elaboration of studies, and
two of Sundry’s pro football
games:
The Washington Redskins 33.
Greenbay Packers 7.
New York Giants 20, Brook-
lyn Dodgers 0.
different assignments . . This
differentiation cannot be
achieved if girls and boys are
sitting in the same cíassroom.”
He also points out “the
inevitable division of labor
between men and women.” This
represents a change in the
former attitude of the Soviet
educators, who expressed pridé
in women coal miners, railroad
engineers, and common laborers
(Russian women are exception-
ally strong and sturdy, and
long used to heavy physical
labor—today they can be seen
laying rails on Moscow’s
tramways. Their sturdiness has
been a great asset in war in-
dustries and on farms).
But Solokhin’s report strikes
a most interesting noíe for the
future of Soviet youth when it
points out thát “all jobs in
society cannot be performed
with equal success by men and
women. There are j many' ex-
amples .... a man must be a
warrior, must be prepared to
join the Red army, and his
preparation must have started
in school.
“There are girls at the front
but they are mainly employed
in the quartermaster sections
hospitals, communication units,
and such. As far as I know
they are not permitted to parti-
cipate in attacks. They don’t
build bridges and highways, be-
cause this is a man’s hard labor.
“But woman have duties
which men have not, and they
are extremely important. The
girl as a future mother must
know how to care for children
and how to educate them. —
Whatever is said about the
various duties of men and wo-
men in the education of
children, mother is always
mother and the schools must
give the girl special knowledge
of anatomy, psychology, and
hygiene.”
This statement represents a
new conception of the Soviet
woman and her place in
family and national life. Socio-
logically it is a signifieant
change from the early con-
ceptions which simplified
divorce processes, provided
state contraceptive service, and
put emphasis on the nursery
instead of the family. In recent
years the trend has been in
the opposite direction; the
Soviet Union is taking mea-
sures to increase the birth rate,
which since the war has been
declining because of the separa
tion of familios, improper
feeding, and casualties. The
new system is the first step-in
this directon.
Recreation: The educator
goes i on to explain the import-
ance of the new leisuretime
program in these revealing
words: ‘In wartime, extracurri-
cular and afterschool v/ork is
even more necessary as a result
of the weakened influence of
the family on the child. The
introduction of separate studies
for boys and girls makes this
especially impcríant. I rem-
ember pictures of the old pre-
revolutionary, schools when
common games between boys
and girls were considered a
crime. Naturally there i's noth-
ing to this. After lesSons work
must be organized so that boys
and girls spend their leisure
hours together. . . Literature,
singing, dramatic, and other
clubs should be coeducational.
“Extracurricular activities
must stimulate more interests
for boys and girls. This doesn’t
mean of course that children
will no longer work in shops
and garages or with construc-
tors. If they wish to work in
these circles, let them. But
clubs for fine embroidery,
sewing, weaving, homecraft
must be created for girls. Also
adult clubs, houses of culture,
collective farm clubs, and
industrial clubs must turn
over their facilities to children
during certain hours of the
day.
“All educational facilities
must be used to instruct boys
and girls in a spirit of mutual
respect and equality. The
system of separate studies is an
extremely important measure
to consolidate Soviet schools
and to raise them to a new
level. Undoubted results will
be seen in the progress of the
children in discipline and in
the consolidation of the-
Soviet family.“
