SCHOOLS POSITION IN POLAND. POST-WAR “PRIVILEGES.” German - occupied Warsaw of 1,300,000 inhabitants enjoys many of the “privileges” of the Nazi rule. According to the Munchener Neueste Nachriehton of February 1, only some primary and secondary schools were open, and about 85,000 children were attending those schools. Before the war the corresponding figures were 384 primary schools, 99 secondary, 10 teachers’ training, 130 trades and 51 other 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 hygenic conditions in the overcrowded schoolrooms, 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 university colleges, are closed, the libraries and collections being sent to Germany. “A lower race obliged to work incessantly for their masters do not need ally higher or general education,” said Herr Frank, the Nazi Viceroy in Cracow.
