organizations take up nearly all the time of the children. They have no 
time left for their school exercises; yet they are sure that this will be

school successfully whatever their knowledge may be. 
One thing more helps to demoralize the children still further: it is 
the consciousness of the power that has been given them; the certainty

violence between the comrades themselves; in insolvence towards their 
2lders, and hooligan behaviour towards outsiders.
