12a Orientation of his education-Cund teaching goals gradually to the Schuiesen of the rest of the Reich and at this point in particular to the Gaues Sudetenland and for reasons of unity must be aligned. But the Wegz_der_to the end reunite, would have to be p.e. To be correct, the following: First the structure and orientation of the German school system in Bohemia and Moravia in the direction of imperial unity, next to it the alignment of the Czech school system with the Reich only to the extent that it is the means to educate the growing generation of Czech population to the Reich's idea, otherwise but for the time being a certain stillness in the development of the Czech school system and, above all, in keeping with everything that could be favourable to a special development, but also all that is particularly under the present war-related conditions, which temporarily hinder the German school system in its development much more than the Czech / war use of the Teachers and pupils / could result in a large-scale and high-quality exaggeration of the German school by the Czechs. Only as soon as the German school of this area will be sufficiently strong and uniformly designed and thus be able to cope with the competition with the Czechs, the design and expansion of the Czech schools in the same direction to imperial unity.
