05. What is my boy?

Apprentices a tour through A few of the most important professions in education shows that the problem of the next generation gradually enters normal cars. School and teaching, learning and testing get back its old value.
In special apprentice workshops, thorough preparation for example the apprentices of the Reichsbahn received in three-year training period for their future profession.
The 350 Mason apprentices of a Munich school enjoy lessons in theory and practice. The test is at the end of the apprenticeship. As everywhere, experienced master provide the technical skill and the small but vital "gimmicks".
Here, the candidate as a task needs to build a vault.
The shipbuilding industry is permitted to a limited extent again for fishing purposes. Here's apprentices on the Stade shipyard in Kiel at work.
The young people in the construction industry has today particularly good prospects. On teaching centres, roofers apprentices are taught by masters of models. Then the right roofing, also in the Hall. Almost everywhere especially scarce on roofing apprentices.
To make our daily bread to be also learned - in a three-year apprenticeship. Here pictures of a journeyman's examination. The bread over the bread to cake - fine pastries to the rod of the salt: aspiring bakers must dominate all.
A small detour to the artist young - in this case to a ballet school. This includes fitness, energy and zeal. Young moves on hands and toes, which wants to become a prima ballerina.
It's going to head to the hairstyle that.
In Munich, only male apprentices have chance to learn the hairdressing. An aptitude test on the employment office is the first examination of the future hair artist. The girls have the virtue of otherwise - they far outweigh the number of male candidates. Understandable!
Sports training of the offspring of miners in the Ruhr area. One of the most important professions for reconstruction is of the miners. In practical work, as well as in a 3 to 4-year-old study on mountain academies the contenders are prepared on the profession of the miners, the Hauers and the Steiger.
Becoming a miner, advantage today some, such as increased rations. The care of this profession is considered to be especially important, because Germany's future depends on the coal.
The next generation on the cusp of the profession. Distribution after passing the exam.

Parade of black lucky charms on the chimney of the big city. Yes, it's done so, so it returns to fireplaces in airy heights. At the time a hundred aspiring to the profession of the black man's are trained in Berlin. A profession that - remains the same through the centuries with its dual mission: To sweep chimneys... Good luck to bring.

With the Matterhorn in the back's rising up again as well, and the younger one starts, his chances are greater once to become a master of the white art.
And here is Tammie - the youngest conqueror of the promontory. Now the skater - young and older practices and rehearses: pirouettes and lion jumps, loops and counter three.
The longing of all this girl is: once like Sonja Henie to float above the ice, jumping and dancing.
The boys keep the solid ice hockey and more. Often the village road replaced the traditional ice hockey rink.
Main thing: it will be played.
Still: Tammie against it is giant slope - 1: 0 for the slope.
And now the ABC of skiing: the youth learn the Stemmbogen, the basis of every departure.

04. What is to become of my boy?

Apprentices' training
A survey of some of the more important professions shows that the problem of apprenticeship is gradually becoming normal.
Schools and apprenticeship, teaching and learning again assure their old value.
At special apprentice workshops of the "Reichsbahn", for instance, the apprentices receive a three years education and thorough preparation for their future profession.
The 350 bricklayer apprentices of a Munich professional school get theoretical and practical instruction. At term's end come examinations. Skilled masters transmit technical ability and the little but important tricks. Here the student has to build a vault.
Ship-building will be resumed for fishing purposes. Here are apprentices working in the Stader dockyard in Kiel.
Apprentices in the building trade have today a bright future. In special building schools the teachers use models to instruct tiler-apprentices. There is a special need for tilers.
It is also necessary to make our daily bread - and that is taught in a three year period of instruction. Pictures of a journeyman examination. From bread to cake - from fine cakes to salt-sticks; all that the baker of the future must know.
Now to the young artists - a ballet-school. Who wishes to become a Prima-Ballerina has to go on hands and toes, early in life. Here are the hairdressers. In Munich, at present, only male apprentices can learn hairdressing. A test examination at the labor office has to be passed first. The girls outnumber the boys.
Sports training for mining apprentices in the Ruhr-district. Their profession is one of the most important ones for reconstruction. With practical work and a three to four year period at the Berg-academy the students are prepared for the mining job.
To become a miner today brings many advantages, among them increased rations. And the nurturing of this profession is most important, as Germany's future depends on coal.
An ancient profession is that of the farmer. But this work, too, has to be learned - at agricultural schools or farms. From crowing vegetables to feeding swine, from milking to raising chickens: all branches of farming taught here.
Parade of the black "luck-bringers" on the chimnies of the city.
Yes, this is how a chimney is swept.
In Berlin at present 100 apprentices are being trained in the profession. A profession that has not changed for centuries - - with its double mission: to sweep chimnies and to bring luck.

Both teams had first-class swimmers, and results came near international records.
There were five new best-records of the year.
The representatives of Lower Saxony scored a close Victory with 88 points, west Germany making 82 points.

b. Swiss Youth Winter Sports
Switzerland - centre of winter sport - from a snowball fight 2.000 meters above sea level to fast ski-races down the mountains.
With the Matterhorn in the background, the ascent seems to be easy, and the younger the beginner the greater are his chances of becoming a master on skis.
And here is Purzel, the youngest sportsman. And now the skaters - young and old try and train; pirouettes, jumps and figure skating. These girls have one ambition: to glide and dance over the ice like Sonja Henie.
The boys stick more to ice-hockey. And the village street becomes a hockey field.
Still Purzel struggles up the big hill - and the score is one up for the hill.
And the ABC of skiing: they learn how to make a "stembow", the basic exercise for skiing down hill.
Purzel still fighting the slope. Eventually he will succeed and then glide down like the older sportsmen.
