1. In August 1952 the School for the Study of Revolutionary Practices on Taiwan,l
which was inaugurated in October 1919', was being personally directed by President
CHIANG Kai-shek. CHIANG, who expressed regret that he could not assume charge
of the training of the persons on the mainland, felt that his work with the
school was of first importance.2 The school, which by August 1952 had trained
3,600 students for civil and military positions in preparation for the Nationalist
reoccupation of the China mainland, divided its training program into the three
following stages: the defense of Taiwan, the reorganization of the Kuomintang,
and the counter-offensive against the mainland.
2. The nineteenth class of the school, which was held from 20 July through 17 August,
had the following schedule:3
First and second weeks: Chinese Communist Party and Chinese Communist
government.
Third week: Problems pertaining to the Seventh Plenary Session of the
Kuomintang.
c. Fourth week. Military mobilization maneuvers and party and administration
reh4:arsals pertaining to the Seventh Plenary Session of the Kuomintang.
3. Students in the nineteenth class were required to study 27 speeches which had
been made by the President to previous classes of the school. After a thorough
study of the speeches, trainees were required to submit digests; and three
special meetings were held during the course to discuss these speeches.
4. In.a speech to the nineteenth class of the school, CHIANG Kai-shek attributed the
failure of the Nationalists to their military system, which lacked sound training,
sound personnel administration, and sound logistics. CHIANG gave the; premature
establishment of a constitutional government and too much reliance on the United
States as additional reasons for the Nationalist collapse. CHIANG Ching=kuo also
made a speech to this class in which he said that it was the aim of foreigners
to divide the Chinese and that Great Britain was the worst offender in this respect

1. Comment. For further information on the school, also reported as the
Revolutionary Practices Research Academy and Research Acade for.Im lementation
of the Revolution, se
2 omment. Although the school has worthy objectives,,it will probably
not attain them because the morale of its faculty and trainees is low., The
majority of these people are marking time and
do not have much hope for the future.
3-Comment. This class lasted for four weeks, although five weeks was
usual, and did not follow the regular schedule, which presumably would.show
a closer relation to the three stages in"paragraph l'than the schedule given
here. Preparation for the Kuomintang Seventh Conference seems. to have
affected the schedule of the nineteenth class.
Comment. gave a breakdown of subjects. presented on afive-week basis to a. previous class-.
4. Comment. For more information on. lectures given by CHIANG.Kai-shek
and CHIANG Ching.-kuo at the scb&i,
