Koohii Story 1 The schoolhouse is the backbone of a foundation that will allow you to find a good occupation.
Koohii Story 2 During the German occupation, this Nazi officer´s occupation was to manage schools that were requisitioned for training the children of the Aryan race to stand proud with an erect spine (mnemonic : "the occupation´s spine schools"). Kanji meanings : to manage, to conduct (business), and also "barracks; camp; encapment". This story should help avoid confusion with post (#824) and employ (#1083). The military occupation theme hints to the secondary meaning, e.g. 営倉 "detention barracks".
