JAG Contrasts Education in Germany, America

The annual Christmas deluge of
mail is .catching Michigan postoffices
short of men because of widespread
influenza, while postmasters are try-
ing to meet the crisis with' borrowed,
trucks, and assistance from house-
wives, high school boys and coopera-
Lion of the mailing public.
Army Men Work
In many cities public response to
appeals for early mailing is helping.
to bring the peak load as early as 48
hours sooner than usual. K 'aki

troop trucks are working as emer-
gency carriers to get the mail.
through.
Detroit postal officials said yester-
day (Saturday): "On the whole the.
situation here is a bad one." This is,
the story they told:
Detroit Postoffice Short Trucks
The Detroit postoffice is short
about 125 trucks which cannot be
hired or borrowed. The Army, has
supplied some trucks but is unable
to furnish more. There are 4,000 'mail
sacks of parcel post which have not'
been delivered because of the short-
age of trucks. If no more trucks can.
be had, some mail will be held until
after, Christmas for delivery. Some
1,500 men are out with the flu. About
1,500 sacks of first class mail are
awaiting processing. And to top it all
off, the railroads have not eno4gh
men to keep up with the carloads, of
incoming mail.
At Saginaw postoffice officials re-
ported an almost opposite situation.
Postmaster John D. Mershon 'said
that there was no apparent man-
power shortage and that married wo-
men and students have helped keep
the heavy flow of mail moving effi-
ciently. He said the mail came in
early and in a steady stream.

S.

Cand. John Wolff, a member of the
4th OC class of the Judge Advocate
Generals School, did undergraduate
work as well as legal study abroad,
earning a BA degree at Bismarck
Gymnasium and JD at Heidelberg
University, Germany.
When Cand. Wolff last saw Ger-
many before coming to America in
1929, it was a peace-loving country.
In Berlin alone there were four first-
rate operas. so that the large mass of
peolple could go to the opera practi-
cally every day for very little money.
Wonwen Have More Say Here
,"Women in the United States have
a much more dominant voice then
they had in Germany or in any Eur-
mpean country that I have visited.
In Europe it seems that the man is
the one who has the final say in all
matters. It seems to me that women
in the United States have more to say
about most things," Cand. Wolff said.
"In America in many high
schools and certainly in the pro-
gressive high schools the tendency
seems to be to allow the student
much liberty. There is relatively
little discipline and rigidity. As the
student grows up, becomes mature
and enters college the discipline isj
much more severe.
"In Germany they had the opposite
idea. In the high school there was
rigid discipline and the students were
made to learn their lessons from day
to day. There were constant examin-
ations. After the student graduates
from college and enters his post-
graduate work, he is treated like a
mature person who is left very much
on his own," he said.
Fewer Examinations Given
"The university did not carevery
much whether the students attended
classes or not. Examinations were not

given during the semester or even at
the end of the semester. They were
given only at the end of the study
period.
"This system may not provide
enough supervision for the average
student, but in My opinion it gives
the highly intelligent student more
opportunity to go into original lines
of research.
"I think that the most interesting
thing about Europe is not its land-
marks, but its people. After the war
even if all the landmarks have been
bombed out of existence, it will still
be n interesting place to go," he
said.
Was Born in Canada
Cand. Wolff was born in Montreal,
Canada. His father returned to Ger-
many when Cand. Wolff was three
years old, taking Cand. Wolff with
him. He went to school in Germany
and finally studied law there. He
wrote his doctor's thesis on "The
Warranty of Title in the American
Law of Sales" which was published by
the Berlin Institute of Comparative
Law.
After having studied American
law from the books, Cand. Wolff
was anxious to come to this coun-
try and find out something about
the actual operation of the law

here. Ile came to the United Stats
in -1929 and attended C(olumWba
University Law School from whch
he earied an LLM degree, lie ww

Columbia University offered him a
fellowship in comparative law, Fe
decided to stay here Lcausc he felt
that demicracy was at an end in
Germany aid that dictatorship was
en the march. He had grown to Le
very much attached to the demo-
cratic way of life in this country.
He did research work in compara-
tive law at Columbia and lectured
there from 1936 to 1941 on compaa-
tive law. In 1941 he became an at-
torney for the anti-trust division of

the Deparuent of Justice and sub-
sequently became attorney for OPA
and then "ttorn(e for the Office of

sition he held before entering t he Ar-

Tuesday in Dill Auditor-

two encores. They sang
the ,well. - known "From
