All-Around Vassily

Moscow correspondents all have their specialties and Public School No. 25 where the Stalin children go is the egg of news most anxiously watched by handsome Ralph Barnes. Moscowman for the New

York Herald Tribune. Out hatched last week the year's final marks of sandy-haired Vassily Iosifovich Stalin, 12-year-old son of the Dictator. Cluck-clucking loudly at his private scoop Correspondent Barnes cabled that Vassily "has brought a report card home to the Kremlin which has failed to wreathe Joseph Stalin's face in smiles."

In nothing is Vassily "excellent" or "very good." He barely skinned through his oral arithmetic, written arithmetic, oral Russian, written Russian, history, biology and German. In these he was "fair." the lowest Bolshevik mark short of just passing. But Vassily is "good" at Russian literature, geography, physics, geometry and manual training. As a sop to Bolshevik censorship Correspondent Barnes stoutly declared Vassily is "one of those all-around boys who are interested in many things besides school work."
