English Translation
- 2 -- It is not surprising that this gives rise to various appearances and sad scenes that these girls often cry because of these conditions and especially because of fear at the risk of a plane. And even if our worker easily overcomes all the hardships of the wartime, the child's crying is particularly close to his sweating. The majority of pupils in these closed schools are children of workers. The medical examination in the employment offices is carried out very superficially and in the majority of cases the sick are rejected to the company doctor. However, the latter recognizes it only in the extreme cases, so that these patients - whose number fluctuates between lo and l5% - only inhibit the production process. In various places and indeed the most difficult work, e.g. in quarries and excavations, teachers are employed, often also tuberculosis, so their suffering rapidly deteriorates. Insufficient clothing, the unusually strenuous work in the rain and in every weather, are perceptions that profoundly alter the compassion of our worker; he sees in the person of the teacher the erzither of his children, to whom the future of the people belongs. The total use of teachers reduced school lessons to the smallest possible extent. Several schools - in the Pilsner district - had to stop teaching at all. From some municipalities, the pupils have to go to large communities for school, where one or two days a week are taught, although in their own municipality a school would be for disposition. By acknowledging a part of the teachers employed, these conditions could be regulated in such a way that the children would not be forced to attend far-off schools. This will also help to prevent the illnesses of children in the coming winter time.In the factories themselves, the use of workers is in many cases just the opposite, depending on their suitability or non-suitability for manual or office work, which is also evident in the production. Incessant complaints are brought from the armaments industry, where young women are employed, who have to rely on themselves, live outside their permanent place of residence. From an hourly wage of K 2.7o to K 3.lo, which is a trained 2o-year-old girl, and from K 2.6o toK 2.8o, which a auxiliary worker receives, i.e. with an amount of K l2o.-- weekly, which you absolutely can't get along with.
