Pedagogical readings in the U.S.S.R.

The elaboration of problems of pedagogy, and the improvement of the processes of education and training call for serious theoretical and experimental research. The development of new elements in a system of training and specially organized experiments are undoubtedly needed. But one should always bear in mind that the peculiarity of pedagogy is that it is inalienably connected with practical pedagogical work. Here one finds its source-and its area of application. Soviet pedagogical science cannot fruitfully develop without close co-operation with teachers' work. The teacher is vital for the success of education and the training of the younger generation. Soviet teachers devote their energies to educating and instructing builders of a communist society. And in this respect they have accumulated a vast store of experience. This experience is shared with the masses and is of primary importance in the complex sphere of education. The result of this advanced pedagogical experience forms a solid basis for further progress in theory and is an effective means of improving educational work in schools. Antonina Grigorievna Khripkova, Vice-President and Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Pedagogical Sciences, is the author of more than sixty works in the field of education, among which arePhysiology of Man and Animals, Acceleration of Physical Development of Children and Adolescents, The Biological and the Social in Human Development and Education, Talk on a Difficult Subject (on sexual education for pupils) andProblems of Sexual Education

美国与一波三折的苏联东北撤军

美苏《雅尔塔秘密协定》满足了苏联在远东的利益要求，换得苏联出兵东北，消灭了日本关东军。可以说，苏军进入东北与美苏黑幕交易有直接关系。战后，因美国插手中国事务，美苏冷战已露端倪，苏联从东北撤军问题一波三折，这也与美国的态度和做法有关。美国的压力又是苏联最终实现撤军的重要原因之一。
