For Closer Ties of the Boarding Schools With Society

Abstract

Boarding schools are not closed educational institutions; they do not fence themselves off from the life about them. Many of them are systematically organizing various proven associations with enterprises and institutions of the city, district or village. There are excursions to factories and mills, collective farms and state farms, get-togethers with innovators in production, study of the lives of the outstanding people who work at the establishments which have assumed patronage over the schools, and correspondence with institutions and other schools. To the extent that diverse contacts are developed, the pupils at boarding schools increasingly feel that they are members of a large, united Soviet family.
