90a National political educational institutions are neuschöpungen in the field of German education. The National Social Movement, in its sense, is not content with the unique transformation of state and non-state institutions, it is fulfilled in the reshaping of the German M e n s e n. The National Socialist educational work on the German youth is therefore not limited solely to the open formations of young people and Hitler youth; since the seizure of power, it has worked on the area of open formation and in its spirit, it fertilized the whole "educational system". From the spirit of the National Socialist movement, the national political educational institutions created by the state, such as the party foundations of the Adolf Hitler schools and the religious castles, were born. It is more than a mere educational or school reform in the usual sense that the National Political Educational Institutions were founded. Genuine education is always a formative education, it is always the education of a young person who carries on his own community of life, and the form of community education is meaningful. With the sinking of the political instinct and the political capabilities of the Germans in the last centuries of our history, the ideological and political community education, as they knew the Church and the knighthood, loses in importance. Since Luther and especially since Humboldt's time, the day school became more and more exclusive the actual place of youth education, and this youth education exhausted itself mainly in intellectual education through teaching and teaching. In England, the term "school" already covers often the boarding school i.e. community education. The public school as a community educational institution, which is more than just a teaching institution, is the ideal, which also recognizes the open higher English day school and which it strives for as far as possible.
