A widow, a single or a woman is considered to be rich even if she has less than 4 children). For the purpose of raising children of civil servants, employees and workers in the public service outside the parents' house, the Reich Finance Minister provides, under certain conditions, school assistance (cf. Reichsbohnungs- und Besoldungsblatt of September 1, 1940, p. 240, No. 3516 and Prussian Payingblatt of October 12, 1940, pp. 311). Both parents are liable for all monetary obligations.

From this account, the costs of school books and teaching aids, a monthly allowance depending on the age of the boy in the amount of about 4 - l0 RM , compulsory health insurance (monthly RM l.35), accident insurance (half-yearly Rm 0.75) and other minor expenses are covered. To the young men who have been admitted to the institution, the railway administration grants for the first journey to the institute on application a reduction of the travel costs by 5O%. The young men must therefore have the ticket "certificated" and handed out at the station lock, under reference to the travel expenses refund application. The same discount is granted for travel between the place of residence and the permanent residence of the parents at the start of the holiday and the end of the holidays. At the time (during the war) the railway administration does not grant this concession!)

It is therefore only necessary to bring from the young men: clothes brush, hair brush, comb and small mirror, tooth brush with container washcloths etc. if necessary 61733
