Although they come from the less favoured sections of the cities, there are no weaklings among them, for they have been subjected to thorough physical texts, and have received the re- commendation of their teachers,

COVETED TASK

Because the actual work is light and the comradeship element is strong, the "Landjahr" has become a coveted assignment among city school children. Many who com pleted the session last summer hav-

completed their grade school' and failed to get an apprenticeship in the city, have returned to the villages and through contacts es- tablished in the summer have got! jobs with neighbouring peasants or with artisans in the hamlets. That is one of the chief aims of the "Landjahr"--to instil a love of the land in the children and Induce as many as possible to go. to the coun- try, although it is emphasized that there is no coercion toward this end.
