- 6 - The Youth Commission recognized the great popular-pupil importance of the Czech body-education organizations (Sokol, Orel, Arbeiterturner, Junak) and their youth divisions for the future. In repeated meetings in September and October l939, the Youth Commission, in cooperation with the ČNS Body Education Commission, decided on the demarcation of the areas of work and finally issued the repeated call for the entry of the ČN youth into the gymnastics clubs. Of course, the practical implementation of some places already brought organizational frictions, e.g. Recently, the workers' gymnasts (DTJ) were fighting against the sokol's claims to do so within the Pilsner ČNS. Equally important was the clarification of the conditions of the ČNS youth to the "association of Catholic youth" in Böhmen (SKM) and in Moravia (SKO). At its meeting on 21 September 1939, the ČNS Youth Commission noted that the independent existence of the youth organised on the basis of the Catholic Action was completely reviewed. "In order to exclude misunderstandings between these associations and to give conditions of mutual trust", it was decided: "After this statement and ensuring that the activities of the youth of the ČNS community will never come into dispute with the Catholic moral doctrine, which will be the leading functionaries of the Catholic youth in some previous years. The Commission for Youth expects that the entire membership of the SKM and SKO will be fully and actively involved in the work in the youth of the ČNS community for the benefit of the equally expensive Czech nation." I would like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent report. In the Czech Cultural Council, for example, an advance was made on the educational question of the no longer compulsory schooling of young people, in the field of vocational education and training.
