NATIONAL SOCIALIST HANDBOOK FOR LAW AND LEGISLATION
[Nationalsozialistisches Handbuch fuer Recht und Gesetzgebung]
By Dr. Hans Frank, Page 566, par. 2 * * * Only in one field of the internal school activity, a new
and firm regulation could and had to be prepared already: in the field of hereditary and racial sciences. By the decree of 13.9.1933 racial science shall be offered at least in all classes at graduation level (which, in higher schools, besides the "Oberprima" (9th grade), included the "Untersekunda" (6th grade) ) in at least two to three biological classes per week. Racial science was equally declared an obligatory subject of all graduation examinations in the schools, from which no student may be exempted. The basis for this decree is the recognition of the decisive meaning of racial

science and biological methods of thinking in contrast to, on the one hand, pure conceptual, and on the other hand, the materialistic concept of the natural and social sciences in the liberal age. Rightly understood, racial science becomes a moving element in the reformation of instruction planning and teaching in the schools. * * *
