CALLED UNDESIRABLE FAD
John p. Murray Urged Drill For Stu

Assistant Commissioner Mirick
Resigns and DR.. Savitz Elected.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-The question of teaching
sex hygiene through a course Of lee
lures by the principal of the State
Normal School at Montclair caused
a spirited discussion during the meet
ing of the State Board of Education
here. A resolution providing for the
lecture course was introduced by Mel
win c. Rice, and. he was alone in its
support. John p. Murray declared ii
would be far better to drill the stu
dents more thoroughly in funda-
mentals of education than to intro
duce such undesirable fads as sex
hygiene. President Schauffer AMI
Superintendent Kendall also opposed
the resolution. Desiring to be with
his little son who is i'll, George A.
Mirick, assistant Commissioner of
Education, rendered his resignation
to the Board. DR.. j. J. Savitz, of
Westfeld, former superintendent of
the Union county schools, was named
by the board as his successor. Mr..
Mirick was assistant to State Com
missioner OF Education Kendall in
Annapolis and came to New Jersey
when the State Board of Education
was r~eorganized during the admins
tration of Governor Wilson. He was
head Of the department Of elementary
education and received a salary Of
$4,000 a year. In rendering his resig-
nation, MI. Mirick said that his en-
forced absence from his home /
Westminster, Mass, had created an
undesirable condition, and that ow-
tng to the illness of his son he found
it imperative to resign his position.
DR.. Savitz studied at Lafayette Col
lege, Columbia and New York Univer-
sites. He has been at Westfield for
the past 10 years, and during part
Of this time was superintendent Of
