KRUSE SEES REVIVAL, OF REICH'S SCHOOL SYSTEM

The setback to German education caused by the Hitler race teachings and other Nazi philosophies will be absorbed in a reconstructed nation," Albert Kruse, instructor in German and former assistant to the Prussian Board of Education, stated yesterday.

Stressing physical fitness for military service, and supreme devotion to the state, the Nazis have imbued the youth of the Reich with a spirit of self-sacrifice that is amazing, Kruse asserted. "Beginning with grammar school, young men absorb a steady stream of Nazi doctrines both in school and in the Hitler youth movements that have become compulsory."

Other objectives of the German youth training are the elimination of the family as a potent social unit, and the eradication of anything but military and political schooling as totally unnecessary for young Germans, the instructor claimed. "Young men under the third Reich have little time at home, since marching and political activities force them to spend a great majority of free time away from their homes." In this way, the role of the family is diminishing, just as the Nazi leaders wish it to he added.

Kruse declared that men of university ago have two alternatives in planning for their future. One is entrance to German universities that have degenerated to little more than schools for the dissemination of Nazi propaganda. The other is participation in the special Nazi training for future party leaders. Under the latter plan, the candidates for leadership are put through severe tests and then subjected to a comprehensive and impressive going-over in the essentials of Nazi philosophy, Nordic race supremacy, hatred for the Jews, and complete world-domination of the German nation.

"Despite these obvious handicaps, German education is not doomed," Kruse maintained. "The foundation for future improvement lies in the outstanding work accomplished by Reich scientists and engineers, even under rigid Nazi control. The work of these men can be used to revive the tradition of education which made German schools the model for the world before 1933, he stated.

Recalling the example of the veterans of the first World War, Kruse claimed that the great numbers of young men and women who have grown up under Hitler can be assimilated successfully into German life. "In 1919 the soldiers returned from the front fitted normally into the home economic structure, if not so normally into the social pattern."

Kruse said that the precedent can be repeated since the present enthusiastic nazis and their educational system will eventually become just as important components of any future German national life, as numbers of disturbed generations have done in the past.
