How the Nazis Did It

Aachen's moppets flocked back to the first German school reopened by the Allied Military Government. Belgium's Minister of Education Auguste Buisseret took the occasion to make a few remarks on the educational system from which they had recently been liberated. His remarks were a grudging tribute to the effectiveness of Nazi teaching methods. A considerable number of Belgian youngsters, said M. Buisseret, had been infected with Naziism during the occupation because of the Nazis' remarkably persuasive teaching. A set of 8,000 lantern slides and 300 movies were circulated from a central exchange in Germany. Nazi supervisors also brought in other attractive visual aids, including maps, brochures, brightly colored charts, exhibits.

Result: Belgian pupils now find old classroom procedures dull. To counteract Nazi poison, M. Buisseret last week applied to a United Nations education commission in London for advice on replacing Belgium's old system with one as good as the Nazis'.
