Abstract
THE German Minister of the Interior, Dr. Frick, has issued a circular (under official reference number III 3120/22.6) containing “guiding ideas”(Leitgedanken) for historical instruction in all German schools, and has transmitted them to all educational authorities in Germany. These “directive principles”(Eichtlinien) have been issued also to the Union of School-book Publishers, and are to serve as a standard for the educational authorities in forming their opinion of historical textbooks submitted to them for adoption. Until the publication of these historical textbooks, which can scarcely be expected before Easter 1935, these “directive principles” are also to be regarded as guiding ideas for historical instruction in all German schools. We print below a translation, with German words and phrases in parentheses where there may be doubt as to the actual shade of meaning, of the full text of the document.
