Poverty and pol- itical lawlessness reigned throughout. Cultural backward- ness was, therefore. a natural consequence,” said Mr. Laptev. “In the field of education the policy of the Czarist government resulted in the fact that 75 per cent of the population of Russia were illiterate and about 80 per cent of the children could not go to school. “Especially terrible was the situation in the former colonies LU Duh-luvs. “Especially terrible was the situation in the former colonies of Russia in which people had no right to education in their national language. In the Tajik Republic, for example, only 0.5 per cent of the population could read and write,” Mr. Laptev said.

Mr. Laptev said. “Due to the great care and at- tention devoted to public educa- tion by the Soviet government. the Soviet Union has become a country of universal literacy.

He said more than 4,000,000 students are now studying at higher educational establish- ments and specialized secondary schools compared to 182,000 in 1913. Mr. Laptev said universities and colleges of the USSR have nearly five times as many stud- ents as such countries as Britain, France, West Germany and Italy combined, the population of which “is nearly 200,000,000. al- most as large as the USSR," he said. "About 7,500,000 people with higher or specialized secondary education are now working in our country's national economy while in 1913 there were less than 200.000." said Mr. Laptev. According to Mr. Laptev the current seven-year-plan includes a considerable development of secondary school education in town‘and country: to extend ev- ening and correspondence and specialized secondary education: and to increase the network oi evening schools for working syomh in town and country.

McLagan is a thick, heavy, black oilâ€"quite different from the light volatile gasoline your car needs. If gasoline were the only product made from crude, it would cost much more to produce. Instead, gesearch and refining specialists in companies like Imperial have developed ways to utilize all parts of the crude, from light gases for making plastics, for example, to heavy asphalt for pavement. In between are hundreds of other products, like the oils, grease: and fuel used by the T. R. McLagan and the lubricants for your car. Imperial’s efficiency in getting everything out of the crude oil means the prices of all products are low.
