MAKING LITTLE NAZIS.

Controlled by the State on Saturdays. BERLIN, June 16. German children henceforth will belong to their families on Sundays, to the Hitler Youth Movement, and the State on Saturdays, and to the school on the remaining five days of the week. It is expected that the Government’s decision will greatly help to settle disputes among the schools, the Hitler Youth Movement, the churches and the family concerning the weekly timetable, which was foreshadowed when the new Education Department was established. The appointment of Saturday as “ State Youth Day ” is welcomed as a privilege. The new Minister of Education (Herr Rust) announced that German school children would, in future, devote all their Saturdays to the various activities of the Nazi Youth Movement. “ The home and the schoolroom form the child,” he sgid. “ Our movement’s task is to see that the coming generation consists of he-men. Only in the camp and marching column does youth learn to be a Nazi. Thus the sixth da}' of the week shall henceforth go exclusively to the national political education of the young people.”
