Dean William Fletcher Russell Resumes Iowa Post Feb One
Dean William Fletcher Russell returns from a 17000 mile Russian journey to the University of Iowa where he will resume his duties as head of the college of education on February 1. He helped establish a new educational system in Siberia and advised the U S Committee on Public Information on how to assist Russia’s educational upbuilding. He describes Bolshevik pillage of schools, chronic shortages, and teachers’ devotion amid danger. He wrote Educational Democracy, now translated into Russian, with 100000 copies sold. Russell says Americans will be welcomed to advise and supply books as Russians study American education. He notes American troops in Russia face less danger than public sentiment, and describes harsh living conditions, vermin, typhus, and the need to carry food while traveling.
