The Theory of Elementary Education

The vast perspectives of our country's development as outlined in the decisions of the 22nd Party Congress and the new Party Program envisage the education and development of the new man - the man of the communist future - as one of the basic tasks before us. The school is one of the channels for the communist education of the rising generation, and so it is no accident that the question of the organization of our schools holds the attention of the Party, the government, and wide scientific circles. This organization, as well as the content and methods of school work, are questions of interest not only to educators but also to wide circles of scientists in the most varied fields; they are discussed not only in the pages of pedagogical journals but also in the daily press, in magazines, even in books which at first sight do not seem to have any direct relation to education and instruction.
