Draft Decision for the CPC^[1]

The Council of People’s Commissars reprimands the Commissariat for Public Education for its insufficient attention to library organisation in Russia, and direct the Commissariat to take immediate and energetic measures, first, to centralise the library business in Russia, second, to introduce the Swiss-American system.

The Commissariat for Public Education is instructed to report to the CPC twice a month on its practical steps in this field.
