Following the instructions o f Georgi Di.mitrov, who taught that the organizations of the , Fatherland Front shoul political education' the masses and policies and measures of the party and the Government, a party was instituted a year ago. During the first school school year year of this kind considerable success was achieved. The readerst groups and circles were attended by more than 200,000 hers and non-members of the Fatherland Front, mainly non- mem 1 t, members of the Bulgarian t '!- party individuals and A y Union, a large number of whom successful) completed the given courses. Now the second school year for political education has to be planned and carried out by the organizations of the Fatherland Front. Keeping in mind the experience of the past school year, provisions have been made include in the study groups during the 1951/192 school year a larger number of members and non-members of the Fatherland Front.

The qualifications of the leader of a circle or a readers group (his general, political7 and pedagogical training) will determine the ideological level of his . group MvmseIMM! and the degree to which the listeners will master the subjects under study. A well~?trained propagandist assures the proper discussion lams, chooses the most important of prob and draws his listeners' attention to them. He islin a position to give a concise, truthful, clear and interesting lecture. On the other hand, the inadequately trained propagandist who does not himself thoroughly understand the problems under discussion) ? der i ? u uf1IM' gives poor lectures and, instead of helping the listeners, confuses them.

By means of these courses they will systematize and increase their knowledge which will greatly simplify their work during the year. Besides theoretical knowledge in the course material, they will also receive detailed instructions on work methods for the various political instruction groups. The success of readers' groups and circles depends largely on the mastery of these particular work methods. The courses for propagandists must be given before the opening of the school year. The committees of the Fatherland ,M Front must make immediateA specific plans for giving courses. Above all, they must make sure that the courses are attended by all chosen propagandists.
