Foot of class for Jap spellers
OKINAWA (UP, April 21) – Four Jap soldiers learned the hard way here that Tokyo schools teach English that is pretty good, but not good enough.
Marine patrols stopped four men who produced the following note: “There men are Okinawans – not soldiers. Treat them good.”
It was signed, “Commanding Officer – Marign Regiment.”
The Martine patrol investigated. Beneath the flowering Okinawan kimonos were concealed Jap Army boots, puttees and khaki breeches.
The four bad spellers were put at the foot of the class.
