German pedagogy inow is demonstrating its ability to 'produce anti-Semitism out of al- most anything—even an ant-hill. A new guide for teachers, written by Fritz Fink in a little book called ;“The Jewish Question in Teaching,” | {tells how it can be done. { He tells of a Munich scientist ob- serving a nest of white ants who saw the unfoldment of a drama which amounted to the peaceful penetra- tion of an unsuspecting nation by an alien race. The upshot was, of course, revo- (lution in the ant-hill, slaughter of the queen, confusion, social anarchy, {chaos. And the obvious lesson, Fink tells the teachers, is that peaceful | penetration of any unsuspecting na- | tion by large numbers of Jews in- evitably leads toward the same thing. Fink asserts this is a lesson any school-child can understand. “The children,” he says, “must be taught to realize that the anti-Jew- ish laws and the fight against the Jew are not the result of mere spleen and high-handed procedure, but an action of national self-defense.” | ———————— Kites were flown in China centur- ies before the Christian era. e A | ' o B AL ] \ to serve as calling cards. teammates if he continues to im-| produce almost anything out of a!
