HITLER ON EDUCATION
Sonic ten yeafs ago, Herr Hitler, the present'Leader of the Gentian Nation, in his book-.“-My, Struggle,’’ wrote these words :• ‘‘Deliberate development in our schools of- the finer qualities is to-day non-existent; From now on, it must Lie considered ,iij (juite- a different light. 'TruSttVorthiness, readiness for s.elf-baCl'ifice;,‘silence/ are viltiifes. which a grfat nation needs, and .training in fiiem in I'oUr Schools is ■n'ldre important than much of . the work which now fills the school' 'curriculum, Thus tlie educational work of the National State must lay stress on the formation of character side,,by side .with-, cultivation of the body.' - Many nioral defects "mow inherent in the body or the nation might, by consistent training, be very greatly modified, even if, not entirely extirpated.” This quotation shows the spirit m which; the great new public school movement in Germany was created, a movement which receives high praise for many of its features from English educationalists who have studied it.
