English Translation
91a 4 Herrnhut institutions and the Francke Foundation, there were the knight academies of the absolutist state-carrying class, the philantropine born of the rationalist spirit, there the Prussian cadets, the bearers of Prussian-Soldatic spirit were educated, among other things. In the history of their objectives of attraction, we can show the whole diversity and fragmentation, the whole difficult and tragic fate of the German people and the German Reich. Let us thank the leader that we now live in an inner and externally united great German empire and that we can therefore draw Germans and nothing but Germans. This sought-after type of German is not to be educated by a predominantly taught and scientific training alone. "The people's state, according to a word of the leader, will have to ensure that, through appropriate education of the first and the greatest decisions on this globe, the mature sex is maintained. "An effective and comprehensive education of youth to a sex mature for the last decisions cannot have its core in scientific or teaching instruction alone. Where "education is exhausted in teaching, one leaves the essential, even decisive, more or less to chance. Education has to grasp the whole man with all that the fate of gifts of the spirit, of power of the rorper and of strength of the heart has given him. National socialist education is directed towards the unity of life of all human forces and towards the non-reality of values of new humanism and liberalism towards those of life-real feeling and thinking. In the first place, according to the Führer, the education of the body, then that of character, and only in the last place, comes the scientific formation of the spirit. This order does not mean a devaluation of the training of intelligence and knowledge, but only its proper location in the circle of the life powers, which serve the life assertion as the highest commandment of life. In the case of organic looking and thinking, it is not at all a question of determining the level of value of the individual partial forces or of determining their value.
