to fulfill this position considering my healt condition..." He had arrived at Ulanbatar
in 1929, and was elected as the member of the Institute of Sutra and Scriptures at the
50" joint conference of the Party Central Committee and the Central Commission of
Inspection in December, 1930.
In 1935, he was appointed as the manager of the Press of the Ministry of Educa¬
tion, where he edited and published the magazine Cultural Struggle, which included
important articles about training and teaching theories and methods such as "Notes of
Teaching Methods”, “Work Attitude”, “Improving the teaching for school kids, and
availability of books and notebooks”, and “About tutoring.”
The Mongolian Government had appreciated and respected the efforts of this man,
who was the first principal of primary and secondary schools in Mongolia, and his
valuable contributions in the establishment of the first primary and secondary school
of the People’s Government, and also his efforts in spreading awareness and educa¬
tion for people: the government had awarded him with the “Order of the Red Banner”
respectfully.
Respected teacher “E”, Bajar ISdorj had worked in Mongolia for 16 years, and ac¬
cused of false political affair that was taking place across Mongolia in 1936, he was
convicted with clauses 58.1 and 58.8 of the Criminal code of the USSR. Afterwards,
he was transferred into the Military League of the Supreme Court, and was jailed in
“Butyr” jail on 28 December 1938. In 1958, the Supreme Court of the USSR fully
acquitted B. [Sdorj after reviewing other relevant testimonies and documents, as he
was arrested on the basis of false political affairs at that time.
Thanks to this intelligent and humble scholar, Bajar ISdorj many substantial changes
have been made to the culture and education of Mongolia that guided contemporary
education to develop into a new level. This historical truth and his great efforts should
be remembered.
