Mental Eugenics.
President Bryan in his address
urged the necessity of mental as well
as physical eugenics. He devoted con-
siderable time to warning young peo-
pie against bad marriages, the selec-
ton of a proper mate for life being
one of the most important problems
facing youth in the New York man 5
opinion. Every problem can be solved
easily after the human problem is
solved, the speaker told the teachers.
All the fangs were drawn out of the
resolutions concerning state text
books before they reached the teach
ers for adoption this morning. The
resolution urging that district owner
ship of text books be placed in the
hands of district boards who could
buy on the open market was killed by
the resolutions committee.
Delay Pinet Resolution.
The Pinet resolution asking the leg
islature to withhold further appropri-
atoms for increasing the states facili-
ties for, publication of school books
awaiting an investigation of state pub
LEGATION, was killed, temporarily, at
least, by the board of directors. The
directors took the position that the
resolution had not been thoroly dis
cussed prior to the convention as mad
other resolutions and that general
expression after mature thought
should be heard before such resolu-
ton is placed before the teachers for
adoption in a long list presented at a
session of the association.
A resolution commemorative the
late John Macdonald was unanimous
ly adopted. The resolution made a
provision for voting $125 to purchase
an oil painting of the famous Kansan.
This oil painting will be unveiled at
the next session of the association.
The resolutions adopted were the same
as have been outlined a number of
times.
