Atlanta Needs No Oscillation Ban
NO SCHOOL KISSING HERE

Dispatches from New Orleans an
nouncing that the board of education
there has found it necessary to pro-
hibit kissing among teachers and pu-
pills because of the tuDercular danger
lurking in OSCILLATION, caused great sur
prise among members of the Atlanta
board.
NO such rule is needed here" said
Commissioner James E. Warren. LAS
a matter of fact the kissing among
teachers and pupils here is so rare that
the passing of such a regulation would
be entirely supertluous. Though We
have no prohibition of OSCILLATION in the
Atlanta schools displays of affection
between teachers and pupils have been
from the outset. That has
been done for sanitary reasons in thu
first place, and secondly, because we
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-07

do not believe favoritism should have
any place in the schools. Why, the
children are even asked not to present
their instructors with flowers.
What little school kissing is done
in Atlanta is confined to high school
girl chums and even these little oscu-
latory parties implant the kiss upon
the cheeks instead of upon the lips.
IF kissing of teachers by pupils and
vice versa were at all prevalent in the
Atlanta schools the board of education
would take instant measures to stop It.
for we recognize that mouth kissing
and expectoration are the two great
breeders of consumption. But | do not
think that any such drastic action as
has been taken in affectionate New
Orleans will ever be necessary in At
lanta schools.
