6b form a new overall education plan. The educator does not have to form pupils at the institutions, but to form a united and capable young manhood, which has to prove national socialist lifestyle. Through such education in receptive youth, the young man is to acquire penetrating human, ethnic and political experiences at home and abroad and, in particular, a familiar knowledge of all German peoples and an insight into the necessary cooperation between all these layers of the German people. It should become a man and a member of a man's class. But not the versatility of education and training is the essential — which can also be an individualist Renaissance ideal — but the type-imposing educational spirit. Not the multiplicity makes the Spartan, the Knight, the English, the Prussian, the National Socialists, but the attitude. In order to solve the educational task assigned to the National Political Education Institutes, a closed corps of educators had to be formed at each institution, whose educational power was mainly based on the firm nature and exemplary attitude of its members, and which could be employed in the same way in the character as in the scientific and the arts, in the political-political-political as well as in physical education and in community life. All educators have the capacity to teach in higher schools. As heads of institutions, some of the old fighters of movement and front officers were employed. Special importance is attached to the further training of the educators. It takes place through scientific technical courses, through illustrative political training and through temporary cooperation in certain institutions and departments of the Party and the State. The educator must see much of the world going on outside the walls of the institution so that he does not become one-sided, but always keeps an eye on the whole.
