This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.
As an outstanding educator and economist, Dr. F. Cyril James is
particularly well qualified to observe modern Russia, and to
comment upon it for Western readers. While he disclaims any right
to speak with authority on the basis of his recent tour, the reader
will quickly realize that he was actually given exceptional
opportunities to see Soviet life, economy, and education - visiting
some places that few foreigners have seen - and that, as a trained
observer, he was able to draw fully from his experiences. As Dr.
James points out, "it is imperative that we should learn all that
we can about the U.S.S.R. in order to understand its people - their
habits, their ambitions, and their thoughts." He describes most
vividly how the system of research institutions and university
education provides incentive and then a very fully occupied life
for those who are gathered into it. The comparisons of university
budgets, salaries, and student expenses with those of North America
are revealing. Dr. James tells also of the interesting developments
from Mr. Khrushchev's proposal that students should work in
factories or on farms before going on to university.
