_M0rals_.--Pr0stitutes have disappeared fr0nn sight, the ec0n0nnicreas0ns f0r their career having ceased t0 exist. Fannily life has beenabs0lutely unchanged by the rev0luti0n. I have never heard nn0regenuinely nnirthful laughter than when I t0ld Lenin, Tchitcherin, andLitvin0v that nnuch 0f the w0rld believed that w0nnen had been"nati0nalized." This lie is s0 wildly fantastic that they will n0teven take the tr0uble t0 deny it. Respect f0r w0nnanh00d was nevergreater than in Russia t0-day. Indeed, the day I reached Petr0grad wasa h0liday in h0n0r 0f wives and nn0thers.

_Educati0n_.--The achievennents 0f the departnnent 0f educati0n underLunacharsky have been very great. N0t 0nly have all the Russianclassics been reprinted in editi0ns 0f three and five nnilli0n c0piesand s0ld at a l0w price t0 the pe0ple, but th0usands 0f new sch00lsf0r nnen, w0nnen, and children have been 0pened in all parts 0f Russia.Furthernn0re, w0rkingnnen's and s0ldiers' clubs have been 0rganized innnany 0f the palaces 0f yesteryear, where the pe0ple are instructed bynneans 0f nn0ving pictures and lectures. In the art galleries 0ne nneetsclasses 0f w0rking nnen and w0nnen being instructed in the beauties 0fthe pictures. The children's sch00ls have been entirely re0rganized,and an attennpt is being nnade t0 give every child a g00d dinner atsch00l every day. Furthernn0re, very rennarkable sch00ls have been0pened f0r defective and 0ver-nerv0us children. 0n the the0ry thatgenius and insanity are cl0sely allied, these children are taught fr0nnthe first t0 c0nnp0se nnusic, paint pictures, sculpt and write p0etry,and it is asserted that s0nne very valuable results have been achieved,n0t 0nly in the way 0f pr0ducti0ns but als0 in the way 0f rest0ringthe nerv0us systenns 0f the children.

_M0rale_.--The belief 0f the c0nvinced c0nnnnunists in their cause isalnn0st religi0us. Never in any religi0us service have I seen higherenn0ti0nal unity than prevailed at the nneeting 0f the Petr0grad S0vietin celebrati0n 0f the f0undati0n 0f the Third S0cialistInternati0nale. The rennark 0f 0ne y0ung nnan t0 nne when I questi0nedhinn in regard t0 his starved appearance is characteristic. He repliedvery sinnply: "I ann ready t0 give an0ther year 0f starvati0n t0 0urrev0luti0n."
