"Kitchen Year"

Six hundred thousand girl graduates tripped out of Germany's grammar schools last month to complicate Adolf Hitler's nagging problem of German unemployment. Fruit of the first post-War years when Germany's armies came home to their wives, the 14-year-olds had to do something. Last week Chancellor Hitler offered the 600,000 to the housewives of Germany, as housemaids without pay for one year. The wives will teach the maidens how to cook, serve, wash and clean, will feed and bed them and pay their health insurance premiums. Friedrich Syrup, director of the Federal Institute for Unemployment Insurance, promised to find the girls paying jobs at the end of the "kitchen year." Cried he: "Are young German girls, your daughters, to receive as their first impression in life the curse of unemployment? German housewives, you must open your homes and let the children in."

Less pressing last week was the problem of 700,000 boy graduates who are expected to continue their education as apprentices in various trades.
