72:8.1In ad­di­tion to the ba­sic com­pul­sory ed­u­ca­tion pro­gram ex­tend­ing from the ages of five to eigh­teen, spe­cial schools are main­tained as fol­lows:

72:8.21. States­man­ship schools. These schools are of three classes: na­tional, re­gional, and state. The pub­lic of­fices of the na­tion are grouped in four di­vi­sions. The first di­vi­sion of pub­lic trust per­tains prin­ci­pally to the na­tional ad­min­is­tra­tion, and all of­fice­hold­ers of this group must be grad­u­ates of both re­gional and na­tional schools of states­man­ship. In­di­vid­u­als may ac­cept po­lit­i­cal, elec­tive, or ap­pointive of­fice in the sec­ond di­vi­sion upon grad­u­at­ing from any one of the ten re­gional schools of states­man­ship; their trusts con­cern re­spon­si­bil­i­ties in the re­gional ad­min­is­tra­tion and the state gov­ern­ments. Di­vi­sion three in­cludes state re­spon­si­bil­i­ties, and such of­fi­cials are only re­quired to have state de­grees of states­man­ship. The fourth and last di­vi­sion of of­fice­hold­ers are not re­quired to hold states­man­ship de­grees, such of­fices be­ing wholly ap­pointive. They rep­re­sent mi­nor po­si­tions of as­sis­tantship, sec­re­tary­ships, and tech­ni­cal trusts which are dis­charged by the var­i­ous learned pro­fes­sions func­tion­ing in gov­ern­men­tal ad­min­is­tra­tive ca­pac­i­ties.

72:8.3Judges of the mi­nor and state courts hold de­grees from the state schools of states­man­ship. Judges of the ju­ris­dic­tional tri­bu­nals of so­cial, ed­u­ca­tional, and in­dus­trial mat­ters hold de­grees from the re­gional schools. Judges of the fed­eral su­preme court must hold de­grees from all these schools of states­man­ship.

72:8.42. Schools of phi­los­o­phy. These schools are af­fil­i­ated with the tem­ples of phi­los­o­phy and are more or less as­so­ci­ated with re­li­gion as a pub­lic func­tion.

72:8.53. In­sti­tu­tions of sci­ence. These tech­ni­cal schools are co-or­di­nated with in­dus­try rather than with the ed­u­ca­tional sys­tem and are ad­min­is­tered un­der fif­teen di­vi­sions.

72:8.64. Pro­fes­sional train­ing schools. These spe­cial in­sti­tu­tions pro­vide the tech­ni­cal train­ing for the var­i­ous learned pro­fes­sions, twelve in num­ber.

72:8.75. Mil­i­tary and naval schools. Near the na­tional head­quar­ters and at the twenty-five coastal mil­i­tary cen­ters are main­tained those in­sti­tu­tions de­voted to the mil­i­tary train­ing of vol­un­teer cit­i­zens from eigh­teen to thirty years of age. Pa­ren­tal con­sent is re­quired be­fore twenty-five in or­der to gain en­trance to these schools.
