REFUSES TO DROP
HIS EUGEN|CS BILL
AssembIyman FISHER Denies
Appeal at Protest Meeting
in MontcIair.

Assemblyman Bennett H. FISHER
refuses to withdraw his bill, which
has been passed on second reading in
the Assembly prohibiting the teaching
of sex hygiene in the public schools of
the State. despite the fact that he was
requested to do SO by forty-sevep men
land women at meeting in Unity
Church, Montclair, last night. None
OF the arguments advanced at the
meeting, which was called to protest
against the bill, warranted the with
drawal, Mr.. FISHER said.
He was the only one that spoke in
behalf of the bill. There was num-
Der of women at the meeting, which
was held in Unity Church, having
been called by the class in eugenics of
that congregation, but none spoke on
the subject. All the women, however.
as well as the men, voted in favor of
the adoption of a resolution declaring
it to be the sense of the meeting that
the FISHER measure should not be-
come law.
Another resolution, adopted by
unanimous vote, favored the appoint
ment of a State commission to IN
quire into the best methods of teach
ing sex hygiene. Mr.. FISHER proposed
ton that the teaching of sex hygiene
in the public schools be forbidden for
a period of five years, during which
time the matter be investigated by a
commission
This proposition was not voted on,
however. Mr.. FISHER, at the request
of the meeting, agreed to put the
measure back to second reading in
the Assembly and endeavor to ar
r.s.. 60, L. -, IS-p< r.df
ciary committee.
The bill, Mr.. FISHER said, repre-
scented the sentiment of the majority
of the people of the State, and for
that reason it would be unfair to
withdraw 1t for the sake of a chosen
few. In his opinion the teaching of
sex hygiene belongs at home, and not
in the schoolrooms, to be done by
young school teachers and other edu-
cational instructors. Another argu-
ment advanced by Assemblyman
FISHER was that the duty of teach
ing of sex hygiene to children lies
with the parents alone, and not with
outsiders.
A committee, consisting of Rev.
Henry e. Jackson, Rev. DR.. Thomas
Travis, Henry A. Strohmeyer, Robert
]. Halpin, Emerson t. Harris, DR..
Elizabeth Mercelis and Mrs. Glover
Smith, was appointed to arrange the
hearing and speak in protest against
the bills passage.
The speakers at last nights meet
ing who came out in favor of teach
ing of sex hygiene in the public
schools were: Herbert w. Dutch,
principal of the Montclair High
Scnool; Henry Wheaton and Robert
j. Halpin, instructors at the school;
DR.. George @. Scott, Emerson I. Har-
ris. Rev. Edgar S. Wiers, Rev. DR..
Thomas Travis, Henry A. Strohmeyer
and Rev. Henry E. Jackson.

she has danced for her living ever

fact that her heart now beats a furi-

asleep, is very serious thing for
her. For it means that she can never
dance again. Last year she was one
