A LOWER RACE

| OPPRESSION OF NAZIS i I SCHOOLS IN POLAND German-occupied Warsaw of 1,300,000 inhabitants enjoys many of the "privileges" of the Nazi rule. According to the Munehener Neueste Nachrichten of February 1, only some primary and secondary schools were open, and about 85,000 children wotc attending those schools, i Before the war the corresponding figures were 384 primary schools, 109 secondary, 10 teachers' training, 130 trades and 51 otlieir schools, with about 194,700 attending. In view of the destruction of many schools) during the siege of Warsaw and the occupation of others by German forces, the schools are attended three times a day, by morning, afternoon and evening classes. It is easy to realise the strain of the Polish teaching staff, as; well as the hygienic conditions in the ovcrcroAvded school rooms during practically the whole day. In order to obtain skilled labour, 92 technical colleges were opened, about 22 being opened by the municipality, and 70 by private people. All other high schools, as well as colleges, are closed, the libraries and collections being sent to Germany. "A lower race obliged to work incessantly for their masters do not need any higher or general education," said Ilerr Frank, N*azi Viceroy in Cracow.
