VII:
EDUCATION
. . . The
racial state must not adjust its entire educational work primarily
to the infusion of mere knowledge, but to the cultivation of absolutely
sound bodies. The training of mental abilities is only secondary.
And here again, first consideration must be assigned to
the development of character, especially the promotion of will-power
and determination, combined with training in a joyful sense of
responsibility—and only lastly, academic schooling.

|
| .
. . A man of little academic education but physically sound, with
good, strong character and imbued with joyful determination and
will-power, is worth more to the racial community than a clever
weakling. |
II:2 |
|
| .
. . In the long run a sound mind can only dwell in a sound body. |

|
| Loyalty,
spirit of sacrifice, discretion
are virtues that a great nation absolutely needs,
and their cultivation and development in school are more important
than some of the things which today fill up our curriculums. |
II:2
|
|
| And
so the racial state, in its educational work, must side by side
with physical training place highest stress precisely on the training
of character. |
II:2 |
|
| Aside
from this, it is the task of the racial state to see to it that
world history is finally written from a position in which the racial
question is raised to dominance. |
II:2 |
|
| The
crown of the racial state’s entire work of education and training
must be to burn the racial sense and racial feeling into the instinct
and intellect, into the heart and brain of the youth entrusted to
it. No boy and no girl must leave school without having been
led to a final realization of the necessity and essence of blood
purity. |
