its organic nature, is to protect the National Socialist
idea and to constantly renew it by drawing from the depths
of the German soul, to keep it pure and clear, and to pass
it on thus to coming generations: this is predominantly a
matter of education of the people.

The second great task, which is in keeping with its
organizational nature, is to form the people and the state
into the unity of the nation and to create for the German
national community forms which are ever new and suited to
its vital development: this is predominantly a matter of
state formation. These two tasks, one of which deals with
substance and the other with function, belong together. It
is as impossible to separate them as it is to split up the
party into organism and organization, form and content.[65]

Huber (document 1, _post_ p. 155) describes the tasks of the party in
similar terms. He states that the party is charged with the "education
of the people to a political people" through the awakening of the
political consciousness of each individual; the inculcation of a
"uniform political philosophy," that is, the teaching of Nazi
principles; "the selection of leaders," including the choice and
training of especially promising boys to be the Fuehrers of the future;
and the shaping of the "political will of the people" in accordance
with the Fuehrer's aims.[66]

The educational tasks of the party are stressed by Beck, who develops
the idea that the _Volk_ can be divided into three main groups, "a
supporting, a leading, and a creative class."[67] It is the duty of
the leading class, that is, the party, from which the creative class
of leaders is drawn, to provide for the education of the supporting
class.

Every member of the body of the people must belong to the
politically supporting class, that is, each one who bears
within himself the basic racial, spiritual, and mental
values of the people ... Here no sort of leading or creative
activity is demanded but only a recognition of the leading
and creative will ... Only those are called to leadership in
political life who have recognized the community-bound law
of all human life in purest clarity and in the all-embracing
extent of its validity and who will place all the powers of
their personal lives with the help of a politically moral
character in the service of the
