The Russian press is much agitated over Jie terrible conditions in which the teachers of Russian schools in Harbin live, az their salaries are far from adequate even for a living wag There was a considerable outery last year when it was found out that many teachers did not receive more than $10 per month, and then had to walk about a mile to their schools in the severe cold of winter. This winter the cold Is much more severe and the unfortunate teachers do not even receive half of the amount that they for last year.
Under such circumstances it may well be asked how they manage to exist at all, the rate per lesson of one' hour running into about eight cents.
this respect the British schools are Ina better position, the teachers boa! receiving adequate salaries, and the Soviet School which Is subsidized by ithe Soviet Government, is still better in every respect. In former days schools were never opened when the frosts exceeded a certain degree but Jot present children and teachers are fiending the schools in the most Intense cold.
