German Students in England
S1R,—Some 750 students from German universities will soon be on their way to this country to give our farmers help in gathering in the potato and sugar-beet harvest. A secondary but important object of the scheme, which is being organised by the German Educational Reconstruction Society in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Foreign Office, is to give these young students the opportunity of seeing for themselves something of the British way of life.
But although the students meet with men and women from many walks of life in the Volunteer agricultural camps, more still can be achieved by giving them an opportunity before their return of sharing for a time on equal terms in our home life. Last year many families all over Britain offered hospitality to students. In many cases this resulted in new and friendly ties which will make a contribution, how- ever small, towards a better and lasting understanding between our two peoples. If you will give your help and offer free hospitality, board and lodging, to one or more students for any period between early November and mid-December, will you please write to: The Liaison Officer, German Student Harvest Scheme, 41 Parliament Street, London, S.W.1.—Yours very truly, ERNEST BARKER, President, German Educational Reconstruction. 18 Rupert Street, W.1.
