The lectures covered 1) ‘How the War began’, a survey of international affairs between and 1939;2) ‘The Rise of the Dictators’ on how dictators gain and use their power;3) ‘Democracy on Trial’, on the methods and ideals of democracy contrasted with those of dictatorship;and 4) ‘The Challenge to Christendom’, an account of the conflict of world-views besetting the modern world. Lecturers, drawn mostly from the Universities of the Witwatersrand and Pretoria, lectured on these topics to military units in the camps in the Sonderwater-Premier Mine area, the Air Force camps at Waterkloof and Lyttleton, and to cadets and officers at the Military College.

He had been a co-founder of the liberally-inclined South Africanist magazine, established in 1938, and was a champion of dual medium education. He wrote the introduction to Malherbe's The Bilingual School., Much of his life was geared to familiarising English-speaking South Africans with Afrikaans language and culture. See for example T.J. Haarhoff and CM. van den Heever, The Achievement of Afrikaans (Johannesburg, 1934). A Smutsian ‘Holist’ steeped in the classics, Haarhoff felt that the Greco-Roman model of cultural co-operation had much to offer English-speakers and Afrikaners.

  • At the school level Marquard suggested the appointment of a Director of History Teaching under the aegis of the various provincial education departments who would meet to discuss policy with the Minister of Education. As a long-serving history teacher Marquard was conscious of the positive role to be played by history teachers in citizenship education, and to this end he suggested that: the Director should arrange an annual conference of history teachers who wished to improve conditions;issue an unbiased, government subsidised, monthly magazine for history teachers containing articles on history teaching and current affairs;and ‘stimulate in other ways a proper understanding of the functions of history teaching in a democratic state and of the group relationships in South Africa’. Like Malherbe. Marquard felt that the most conducive environment to true South African citizenship was the bilingual school, UCT, BC 587, D3.4

Maiherbe changed the title of Marquard's memorandum to ‘Draft Memo. On Education for Better South African Citizenship’, and turned Marquard's Directors of History Teaching into Directors of Citizenship Teaching. In both cases, Marquard and Maiherbe agreed, the exact name given to these Directors was immaterial

Hoffie's friends will buy it and won't be able to get their money back when they find out what's in it;and all his enemies will buy it as soon as they hear what's in it.

Malherbe's suggestions for short films with Afrikaans commentary included scenes of Afrikaans artists Anton von Wouw and Hendrik Pierneef at work;inserts on the poet C. Louis Leipoldt and other Afrikaans literary figures;the making and erection of Louis Botha's statue;shots of Dutch homesteads and architecture, and a typical Boere-nagmaal. He pointed out that ‘these are only a few illustrations which could be multiplied. We have such a lot of good stuff which is the heritage of all South Africans: English and Afrikaans alike, that it is a shame not to use it as a means to for forging a common link of a cultural nature between the two sections’. Malherbe's wife later reported to E.G that his memorandum had been leaked to Die Transvaler, which delivered a scathing commentary on it.

The commission recommended that adult educational projects should be coordinated by the Union Education Department. To this end a National Council of Adult Education should be established consisting of forty members, and assisted by sixteen committees consisting of 106 members. Malherbe felt that this system was administratively cumbersome, and difficult to get off the ground. When in 1948 a Division of Adult Education was created for the Union Education Department, together with a National Advisory Council for Adult Education, the Nationalists ignored the lessons of AES.
