The lessons continue as they began. Arithmetic examples in population develop, as we have seen, into the algebra of bombing planes. History, Geo-politics, German, and Racial Instruction, follow the same line of development. “The epoch of ‘pure reason,’ of ‘objective and free science,’ is at an end,” writes Dr. Ernst Krieck, leader of the Sturmbann and Rector of the University of Heidelberg, surrounding the terms with quotation marks in an effort to prove they never really existed.
At the moment, that epoch is over in Germany. The primary schools do all they can toward shaping the generation; and, as soon as the children are out of the grades, they pass to the outside organizations, Hitler Youth and Jungvolk, German Girls and National Socialist Order Castles. In high school, they encounter complications, or, rather, extensions, of axioms they have learned before — the fabulous axioms of Nazi Germany.
