Referring to unrehearsed discussions in June and July v.d. and on your letter of 20.9.1942 2418/1942-104516/42 I1I/1, on the occasion of the "Lehrmittelanstalt für Fach- und Gewerbsschulen" as follows: After a detailed examination of the statute of the teaching institute for specialized and commercial schools, I propose that the merger of the latter with the school transfermate in Bohemia and Moravia be postponed to a minimum. On the other hand, it seems urgent to me to adapt the publishing activities of the teaching institute to the current requirements and to revitalize them by: 1. preparation of a comprehensive specialized literature, 2. contributions to the increase in performance and vocational training, 3. promotion of the learning of the German language, 4. I am prepared to carry out these tasks - which fall within my general remit - while maintaining the current Director, Mr Ing. Petrtýl and ask you to take care of me with the management and management of the teaching materials. Heil Hitler! gez. Rudl
