By Edwin T. Sandberg, English Department, Purdue University ;

There is nothing artificial sbout the present crisis in education; there is a very real and

“the former Hitler youth. There never was much’ chance of changing the adult population, and new the opportunity of saving the youth is almost gone. Ln

These Hitler victims were born in bondage to dictatorship, schooled in fanaticism and reared in var. Surviving in rubble and blacks markets, four years after the armistice they are frustrated and bitter. Many are homeless, jobless and hopeless. .

They are the Germany of tomorrow. Unless these millions who never have kmown a normal life can be reclaimed for a decent society, tomorrow may even worse than yesterday for Europe.

Most of them have turned in disillusionment against all ideologies and all parties. Most of them believe Germany was not to blame for the war, and that now she is the guiltless victim of unjust victors. Most of them distrust the older German generation, especially parents and politicians, but have an intense loyalty to German nationalism as a primitive religion. And almost all are looking
