RUSSIA FOSTERS FRIENDLY FEELING FOR AMERICANS

MUST EDUCATE COUNTRY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"There is, in spite of the fearfully neglected condition of Russia," said Dr. R. M. Story '08 last night, speaking at the Phillips Brooks House, "a decided friendship for Americans, an American tradition that will never be obliterated."

Dr. Story showed a number of very interesting pictures of educational work. "Russia's first need," says Dr. Story; "is education. In the cities there can be no doubt of the overwhelming majority of the Bolsheviki."

"We are wanting to send over to Russia a man who can help those who are seeking council, men who have an elementary knowledge of agriculture, sanitation and dairy work. We do not need a man who can project anything so much as a man who can teach the simple things that he already knows. What the Russians need is clean, healthy boy-life. It would mean a sacrifice perhaps of a year or two of a man's life, yet I can imagine no work from which he could reap greater rewards. The unselfish point of view of Y. M. C. A. has won friends all over Russia."
