Georgia Schools Shouldn't Teach
KugenlcH Hides.
Savannah, Oa., Jan. 8.-?M. L Brit
ton of Atlanta, State superintendent
of public instruction, stated hero to?
day that he is opposed to study of eu
genicR in the public schools of Geor?
gia, declaring that the subject deals
with matters too delicate to be han?
dled by teachers.
"I Jecl thai the study of eugenics
is too delicate to be taken up in the
school," he said. "It is something:
which should be handled by the par?
ents Of the children. Georgia schools
certainly are not ready lor it yet. It is
the opinion of a great many that the
mere knowledge of the things taught
under the head of eugenics does not
afford protection.
So tar as the simple truths brought
out in the study of physiology go, I
say teach them, but I think that some
truths in regard to sex, such as have
been emphasized during the last few
months, should not be taught in thej
public schools of Georgia"
