2.000 Rttr.AARFST WOR1J S COMPI-71 COURSES -- Bucharest, Vista Capitalei, 11 Sep 52
Over 2,000 Bucharest workers completed Russian-language courses during the
1951 - 1952 year. Many of these reached an acceptable level of understanding
after only one year of study.
Most of the linguistic progress was achieved at large industrial enter-
prises. For example, the ARLUS Committee of the 23 August Steel Plant in
Bucharest took the initiative in printing forms on which workers could apply
voluntarily for admission to Russian-language courses. This procedure was
adopted throughout the country. At the Dinamo Cotroceni Electrical Equipment.
Plant 47 students were enrolled in Russian-language courses. At the Matyas
Rakosi Works 70 students applied for enrollment.
At the Republica Steel Plant all the students who completed their 1951 - 1952
Russian-language course grouped themselves into recruiting brigades and sought to
obtain additional students for the ensuing year. As a result of their labors.
over 80 workers enrolled for new courses. Courses at the Vulcan Machine and
Equipment Plant were given in six different classes, totaling over 100 students.
At the Grivita Rosie Plant over 100 workers were enrolled, among them Stakhanovites
Alexandru Dumitru and Toma Teodorescu. Some 250 workers from the Ministry of
Transportation enrolled voluntarily in Russian-language courses.
