In order to judge the gigantic tiyork accomplished by the Soviet regime iu
the realm of culture, education of the masses, and development,of science, it
is sufficient to compere the statistical data for the period before the rm-
o]ntion with that of the present tine. The number of institutions of higher,
education increased e]aost nine times; and the number of students six times.
The number of secondary specialized educational institutions increased more
than ten times; and the number of students in them 30 times.
Thus bas been an exceptionally large i.uoroace of higher schools in the
national republics. In prerevolutionary Russia the higher educational in-
stitutions were concontrated in the territory of the present RSFSR and U1 a rian
SSR. In inc. other national republics there rue aot a oingle higher educational
institution, with the exception of the Lithuanian, Ietvian, and Lothanian re-
publloa. At the present time in Central Asia alone (including the Kazakh and
Kirgiz SSR), where there ms not a single institution of higher educatioa be-
fore the revolution, there are 75 higher educational insttiutionss of these,
33 are in the Uzbek S:,R, and 23 are in the Kazakh SSR. There are 20?1netitutione
of higher education in the Georgian=, 17 in the Aserbaydzhsn SSR, and 13
in the Armontan SSR.
Rigber chemical education underwent an especially strong development after
the revolution. Prerevohaitiomry Russia had almost z chemical industry.
Contemporary chemical industry vas created mainly in the years of the first and
second Five-Year Plane.
As early, as 1936, 95.2 percent of all prcdaotion oP the chemical industry
can produced by factories that had been newly built or completely reoonetructed

In addition to the special chemiooteehmologioal higher educational
institutivns, the preparation of chemical personnel for our industry is also
being carried on by polytaohniaal and industrial higher educational institutions.
The nhemaeoteohnologioal faculties of such po3yteohnical institutes as the Tomsk
t
Kiev, Ural (at Sverdlovsk), Novooborkasek, Georgian, Yerevan, Donato (at Stallno),
Goa+kiy, and others, have trained thousande of bigb3y qualified chemical engineers
for our industry. The professorial and teaching staffs of there institutes have
oondtioted a neither of serious soientifin research works.
The Stalin plan provides for the further growth of the chemical industry.
Together with the growth of industry and national eoonomp, the number of speoial-
lots graduating from higher educational institutions will be increased. Mae
than 600,000, including about 150,000 eeogineers, will be graduated during the
Fourth Five-Year Plan. In addition, more than 1,300,000 specialists of media
qualification will be graduated, including sure than 350,000 technicians.
To present theca figures more clearly it is sufficient to point out that
there are sow 3 n4113on specialists in all branches of national eeonoms and
culture. An a result of such an intensity work of the higher school, the eon-
oentration of specialists with Idgbor education in the national e'oonoe? will
