COLLIER. .AROUSES
IRE OF GRADUATES
In Sizzling Attack on Eueenics and
Sex Hygiene Teaching in
Public Schools.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Graduates of
fashionable eastern schools for girls
principally those who attended
Bryn Mawr-were up in arms today
because of the assertion of Bird S.
Collier, former comptroller Of New
York City, that the race would die out
within $50 years If graduates of Bryn
Mawr and other fashionable girls
schools were depended upon to pro-
duce future inhabitants. Collier made
this statement in the course of siz-
zling attack upon eugenics, sex hy-
giene teaching and the spread of So
cialist;c doctrines in the public
schools before the Industrial Club last
night. He used Bryn Mawr college as
an illustration.
In Bryn Mawr, eugenics has been
taught for fifteen years" he said.
"and among the graduates of that
school there has been but one birth in
three families. They try to raise a
super-woman by dancing on the grass
in bare feet, and other foolish fads.
No race can exist with the doctrine
of eugenics, unless imbued with the
religion that sets it's face against race
suicide and child murder"
Collier criticised Ella Flagg Young
for introducing hygiene instruction in
Chicago schools and said much of her
popularity was due to "her socialistic
sectarianism."
