English Translation

We must know the psychology of these peoples. Under these circumstances, an extraordinariat for social and ethnopsychology is far too little. Prague's chair must, to a certain degree, be a pioneer, of no account. D: chologie always found influential schools administration, which was based on a pedagogisck, or the Wehrmacht, which needed an Heeresp, or at last found the great works, which were devoted to work and professional work. Whether or not the surviving individual psychiatrist has satisfactorily solved her tasks is disputed; it is certain that no attention has been paid to the psychological issues of life. The task of National Socialist higher education policy is not merely the scourge of tradition; I therefore ask you to take note that the promotion of the ethnopsychological work in Prague is of paramount importance for reasons of national politics. seaer The example of social and ethnopsychology shows in particular what it is all about. Within the framework of the Reinhard Heydrich Foundation, the folk scholar cannot stand by any form or object of popular culture, he must always ask: what can be said about the person who created it from these forms? The same applies to the lawyer. The exploration of folk music must under no circumstances remain stuck in the musicological: we are not primarily interested in the musical structure of a Czech song, but in the question of whether in it interpretative influences express themselves or whether the essence of the forces is felt in it. The folk song must not only be examined as a musical and literary monument, but must be explored in all its life relations ./.
