English Translation

2 Prague is set up a sippenkundliche central office, which takes care of the investigation of the German blood lost in the Bohemian-Moravian region and in this way helps to capture those families, which are the most important ones. Very considerable are the statements on the question of intelligence, (S.L. et seq.) It is e.g. In the case of the Polish people too, it should be borne in mind that the proletarianization of the previous intelligence layer will not with absolute certainty lead to the disappearance of a Polish intelligence. It is well known that external environmental conditions cannot change the inherited abilities of a person or a family, it is at most possible that they prevent the development of these talents or limit them in any way. However, the question is whether the consequences that M. draws from these and other insights are correct. In fact, he proposes that the Czech intelligentsia, which is not in question for us, should continue to go to a Czech university. He thinks things are so that the truly gifted are admitted to German universities, while the somewhat less gifted people can study at the Czech University in Prague, but are also limited to the area of Czech self-government in their possibilities of impact. The main question is whether, in this juxtaposition of Czech and German higher education, there is an opportunity to separate the really talented from the German university. It is quite possible that the Czech national consciousness will prove so strong that one or the other will be satisfied with the less good positions in the Czech area and voluntarily renounce the possibility of obtaining more favourable positions in Germany. This is because he underestimates the nationalism of the 20th century in his power.
