It's a Hard School, But College Of Captivity" Aids War Prisoners
By NEA Service

AAy kNEAA DUENAE8
 New York, March O0-when peace comes, the 'little red school house" will probably have a rival in the memories of thousands of Ameri- cans who now attend university of capticity" in the camps where they are held as prisoners of war. N The major problem of a prison- pf-wAr camp is morale. One of the main methods of fighting boredom and nstlessness is by organized study. War Prisoners Aid, Na- tlonal War Fund member agency, reports that one of the chief de- mands of arr prisoners is for text books, study courses paper and pen- ctls. The war prisoners find teach CTS within their own ranks and es- tablish their own classes and study routines.
 Hugo Cedergren representative of War Prisoners Aid, Y. M. c. A. a participating service of the Na- .tional War Fund, reports that when he visited one prison camp in Ger many last November he found 30 classes in session, with more than 300 students in attendance.
 TAUGHT BY PROFESSORS
 The case of Stalagluff 3, large prison camp in Germany, housing large number of U s. Army Air Corps officers captured in Africa, is typical Shortly after the men were settled in this camp, they were visited by a neutral Swedish Secretarv from the Geneva head quarters of this work for prisoners of war. The commandant of the prison let him speak to the Camp Leader, who is the prisoner of highest ranki and many of the men.
 The secretary soon found out that there were '67 men in the camp who had cut short their college careers to go to war. An educat- ional director was appointed from among the men to help set up the courses they would like to follow. The most popular studies were

is curriculum comparable to that of a liberal arts college.
 The work among British war prisoners has progressed to such a degree that those detained in Ger many can be sent examinations on their studies from Oxford, Cam bridge and the University of Lon don. The external degree of the University of London has already been awarded for work done in a prison camp. Such an arrangement for Americans now is being at- tempted by the National War Funds participating services. De- tails still need plenty of smoothing out but in the meantime the study materila goes forward to the men who want it. so that they won't feel they are forgotten or that they are waiting time while they are forced to sit out the war.

not to address letters to the Seattle Fleet Post Office. They would have you believe, therefore, that an FPO does not grace this northern port.
 Oh yes, the fleet post office is here. and bluejackets anC Waves and officers all seeing to it that mail from every state in the Union reaches thousands of Navy men on forever moving ships. There are mysterious pigeon holes and coded charts, fancy locator systems and secret files. And every day a secret Navy bulletin reports the move ments of ships and men, enabling the FPO to keep tab on it's custom CTS. But that, the Navy says, is strictly on the censored side.
 Here's the approved procedure: the Navy's gigantic postal system slices the world in half. If your Navy man is knocking of Japs in the Pacific, send you letters to the FPO in San Francisco. If he's sta toned Atlantic way, the proper ad- dress is Fleet Post Office, New York City.
 Those branch FPO's justt distrib- ute their share of the mail. You're not supposed to know where or how or when, bui they do. But the mail reaches its destination faster if 1t is addressed to one of these two main cities. And those branch FPO's-just forget about 'enl. For addressing purposes. they don't exist.
 So, please, when corresponding with your water-bound friends. write their full name (don't forget that middle initiaD, rank or rating, and either FPO San Francisco or New York. Should be on V-mail too. And that Seattle FPO, say weary naval officers, it just isn't here, see?

Bright laymen have assumed cor rectly that this is the Navys Seattle Fleet Post Office. But this assump- ton has made the Navy most un- happy. Navy wives, mothers and best gals, they say, forever are ad- dressing mail to branch FPO's if they think their Navy man is in that region.
