JUST IMAGINE!
A PARADE OF 79,410 CHILDREN
PASSING THROUGH ONE DOORWAY
Just try to visualize over seventy-
five battalions of soldiers passing in
single file ... or think of the popula
tion of a city bigger than Brantford,
Peterborough and Kingston all com
bined.
Now you have a basis for compari
son because that’s the number of
individual visits made by children to
the Out-Patient Department of "the
Hospital for Sick Children last year.
This huge total represents the need
of babes and youngsters for medical
treatment . . . help which could not
be afforded if parents were asked to
pay more than a small part of the
cost. In fact, many parents cannot
afford any payment at all.
These little ones need your help,
The revenue from- Government and
Municipal grants, plus whatever
parents may contribute, covers part
of the expense, but the balance must
come from charitable citizens.

no matter how small. The need is
greater than ever before.

and when adolescence is past, then

he dies, whether he likes it or not.”
The Attack on the Family
From infancy t'o manhood the Ger
man boy is now as far as possible re
moved from his parents’ influence. It
is the first object of Nazi education
to break the family ties of love and
loyalty.
One of Dr. Goebbels’ propaganda
films shows as .its hero a small Ger
man boy who denounces his father and
mother to their death at the hands of
the GeSltapo, the dreaded Secret Pol
ice.
Thus the unity of the family, the
oldest and most cherished foundation
of society alike in Asia and Europe is
attacked and destroyed.
Recently a judge in Schleswig-Hol
stein took away, from the care of their
parents children who had not been al
lowed to join the Hitler Youth.
The judge said: “A father who
keeps his children away from the Hit
ler Youth abuses his parental power.”
The Perversion of Education
In the schools', all training is direct
ed towards producing unquestioning
obedience, implicit belief in Nazi doc
trine, and a faith In force.
Even the child of kindergarten age
has nursery rhymes and little history
lessons that produce hatred of other
countries, and toys which familiarize
him with the idea of wan
When he gets a little older and goes
\o an elementary .school he is taught
history, but history with a purpose.
That purpose is laid down crudely en
ough in the latest edition of the hand
book for elementary school teachers,
which has just been published tn Ber
lin. In it we read:
“No .weight should be attached Ito
the historical continuity of events. The
main object remains to give the child
ren a most vivid picture of the Fuh-
ren”
All school subjects
the same way. Thus
comes “geo-politics”,
are described often in
and in arithmetic books the subjects
of the problems set are of this kind:
“How many people can seek pro
tection in a bomb-proof cellar, length
5 metres, width 4 metres, and height
2,25 metres? Each person needs 1
cubic metre per hour, and they remain
there for three hours?’
Science is bent into the service of
the National Socialist ideal, and cours
es in secondary schools deal with the
use of poison gases, incendiary bombs,
etc.
The Lessen of Hate
But racial instruction takes the first
place in German Education today.

deliberate perversion of childish im
pulses than this manufacture of hate.

Germany’s armed strength repre
sents not only total material mobilisa
tion, but also the mobilisation of the
mind of a whole generation.
Many of the youths who are now
fighting in the German army, air force
and navy were only elevon or twelve
when Hitler came into power; and it
is upon the formation of their minds
during the most impressionable time
of life, that the ingenuity and organ
izing ability of the Nazi leaders have
been concentrated.
Dr, Robert X.ey, Leader of "the Ger
man Labdur Front, says:
“We begin with the child when he
is three years old. As soon as he be
gins to think,, he gets a little flag put.
in his handj then follows the school,
■the Nazis regard' as inferior men".
Every week the paper publishes letters
from teachers and school children
showing the wide-sperad use of Dep
Sturmer in education., '
The foreigner is always told that
“not many people read Per Stunner.”
The evidence of Germans does not
bear this out. Ik is put up on notice
boards in many schools teachers
are “inspired” by it and works small
children up into acts of senseless rude
ness and brutality, In the same way,
small children are taught to hate peo
ple of qther nations and to regard
them as Inferior beings.
At every stage of education, religion
is undermined, AU belief in God, or
in any spiritual power higher than the
State, is derided and attacked as a
rival to the worship of the racial State
and its Fuehrer?
Regimented Youth
While still at school, boys and girls
from 10-14 are obliged ito join the jun
ior section of the Hitler Youth, which
has supplanted or absorbed all the var
ious free Youth Organisations, (Soc
ial-Democrat, Protestant, Catholic,
etc.) which flourished before the Nazi
era. The boys belong to the Jungvolk
and -the girls to the Jung-Madel,
From 14 to 18 all boys have to be
long to the Hitler-Jugend proper. At
18 the youth passes -into the Arbeits-
dienst, a compulsory labour service
which is employed on work such as
road-making.
The Ideal of War
The Hitler Youth is an army. Its 1
divisions are military. Baldur von
Schirach, its commander, is respons
ible directly and solely to Hitler him
self. Work in the Hitjer-Jugend con
sists of gymnastics, boxing, wrestling,
swimming, athletics, shooting with a
small-bore gun, and scouting.
Gliding is much encouraged; it was
estimated just before the war that
15,000 boys could glide with efficien
cy. Boys who show proficiency are
also trained in low.-power aeroplanes,
and are encouraged to learn metal
work by the making of model aero
planes.
There is much in this programme to
fire the boys’ enthusiasm. No doubt
can now remain that the Hitler-Jug-
end has from the first been designed
to produce a German soldier, blindly
obedient to the Fuehrer. Here is a
typical marching song of the move
ment:
“Though the whole world lie ruined
around us. after the days of war,
What the devil do we care — we don’t
give a hoot any more,
We will go marching forward, though
. everything fall away,
For the world will be ours tomorrow,
as Germany is to-day.”
The young Nazi, having completed
bis four years in the Hitler-Jugend
and six months of Labour Service,
then passes into the army.
Nazi “Justice”
Throughout this training it is the
avowed intention of the Nazi leaders
to destroy the natural foundations of
law itself. In order to achieve this
end, there must be substituted a new
law of right and wrong; for man is
so constituted that he will always de
sire justification for his acts.
But whereas in normal human so
ciety a child learns from his parents,
or from his -religions, to distinguish
between good arid evil, the Nazi ad
mits as right only that which is pro
moting the might of the nation — “the
Nordic Law.” This is the essence of
Nazi education.
“The blood-community of the race,
i.e. the nation, is the pivotal point of
all earthly existence. The nation alone
is a purpose in itself, Everything else
is a means to an end and must serve
the good of the nation •— everything,
including justice and law. Justice is

SOYBEANS — A
HOME GROWN
PROTEIN FEED
(Experimental Farms News)
In the production of livestock .the
farmer aims to grow as much of the
required feed as possible on his farm.
The three main constituents of feeds
are carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
Carbohydrates are usually found in
sufficient quantities in most plants
and seeds. Protein, however,- may be
lacking in the amounts required to
provide a balanced ration. In order to
correct this deficiency, such high pro
tein feed's as cottonseed or linseed oil
meals must be purchased. Where this
extra amount of protein can be pro
duced on the farm, a definite saving
in cash outlay is obvious. As a high
protein crop the soybean is useful for
this purpose.
The protein content of soybeans
may be taken advantage of in two
ways, states C. W. Owen, Dominion
Experimental Station, Harrow, Ont.
The crop may be cut in the stage when
the pods are about half filled and cur
ed as hay, or the seed may be allowed
to ripen and harvested as grain. Soy
bean hay will be found about equal to
alfalfa in feed value, but in districts
where alfalfa can be successfully
grown its main use would be as an
emergency hay crop. Iiia other districts
possibilities exist for soybean hay
where annual crops avoid loss through
winter killing.
Soybeans fed. as grain contain about
35% protein and 16% oil. The whole
beans may be added to the grain ra
tion before grinding and will be found
palatable by all classes of livestock.
In the case of bacon hogs, soybean oil
meal should be used in preference to
whole beans in order to eliminate -the
danger of soft pork.
Whole soybeans added to the grain
ration of dairy cattle have been found
to give excellent results by a number
of farmers. From the dairy stand
point it is fortunate that a large por
tion of the area engaged in milk pro
duction is suitable for growing soy
beans, and more farmers are realizing
the advantage of growing a small ac
reage of this crop each year for use as
a protein supplement.
Apart from the feeding value of soy
beans some oil benefits are also ob
tained. Being a legume, soybeans
have the capacity of utilizing nitrogen
from the air providing the seed has
been inoculated with a culture of nit
rogen-fixing bacteria before planting,
In this way a part of the nitrogen ut
ilized by the crop is returned to -the
soil. On heayier types of soil some
improvement in tilth may b§ noted fol-1
lowing a crop of soybeans.
Considering the wide adaptation of
the soybean to both soil and climate,
together with the variety of uses to
which the crop may be put, possibilities
are enormous in this high protein con
tent crop.

ful hands?”
