Commissioner Will Have Talk
With Nina Van Wrinkle.
Head of PoIieewomen

Commissioner Frederick A. Fen
ming and Lieutenant Nina c. Van
Wrinkle, chief of the woman's bu-
reau Of the Police Department, are
going to have heart to heart talk
one of these days. The subject Of
conversation will be Washers"
The Commissioner is no so much
exercised over the stories of mash
ing'' on the streets OF washington
as he is over attempts Of police
women to induce unescorted males
to violate the law by Turing them
to become Washers"
Commissioner Jennings belief is
that encouraging anyone to violate
the law is against his idea Of good
police administration"
The latest failure in the anti
MASKING campaign on the part OF
the woman's bureau resulted when
Judge George H. Macdonald yester-
day dismissed a case Of alleged
talking with unknown females"
against two men brought into court
on the complaint of Policewoman
Gladdis Black.

But the legal phase is not para
mount.
There is another and a greater
issue involved.
It Is this:
IL Congress to be allowed to con-
tinue it's present course of setting
up the Bible as the final authority
on scientific knowledge?
That must never be. If do MOTH
ing else. Y hope / have shown the
country through this suit that Con.
gress deliberately intends that all
education must be tested in the
crucible Of religion; that, in fact.
religion must come ahead of cduca"
ton in our schools, or there can be
no education. In q strict sense,
therefore, Congress has definitely
linked the state with religion.
If Congress does not intend that.
then Congress has been guilty or
careless legislation.
To Warn Congress.
It is time now that Congress is
warned that the country will not
tolerate religion In legislation, for
1t subverts a cardinal American
principle.
If this continues, we shall be
intellectual serfs, bound in the
ignorance and intolerance Of the
darkest ages.

The railway officials claimed that

TEACHER ASKS,
WHY PICK ON
ME-"
Biologist in High Schools Says
7 Other Subjects Teach
Evolution

"I don't see why they are pick
ing on me any more than all the
other teachers" William z. Hay,
Thead of the Department OF Biology
and Chemistry in the District OF
Columbia high schools, declared to-
day with regard to his citation IN
the Wittner evolution ease Whlc1
threatens the laurels of the Scopes
case in Tennessee.
sIf Wittner is right he said,
land they bar the teaching or eVo-
luton in the schools. chemistry,
physics. history, physiology, geog-
raphy. mathematics, and even Eng
fish will be forbidden subjects. All
4hat will-~ne left 10 teach will be
reading, writing and spelling.
Education Must Stop
f"In nv opinion, modern educa-
ton. as it is taught in the District
and in all schools throughout the
country, is based on the theory OF
evolution. at least in the text books.
Most history books start with the
origin of man, and they don't give
the Garden of Eden story either.
These are the observations Oh
the man who is in charge of most
of the instruction of science in the
public high schools of the District.
Asked specifically what treatment
evolution is given in the pubic
school courses. Doctor Hay replied:
The study Of biology is based
on the structure of various ami
mails. We start with the lower
forms, such as the grasshopper and
work UP to the other forms .of ami
NAL life, comparing them with
each other. The teaching of biology
also includes instruction in the de-
velopment of animal life, most Of
which is from eggs.
II never Introduce, nor as far az
I know do the other teachers in
troduce, the subject Of biology.
Usually it comes up for discussion
when a pupil directly asks. DO you
believe in evolution? And then /
reply, OF course / do, all biologists
do, as far as know
Common Ancestor Unknown
"Then the student usually asks.
Did men come from monkeys?'
And then I explain that that - not
the theory held by most scientists,
monkeys and apes come from a
GQ11A4L4UlI dAlGCGbOAS bAAC AA0tAAG ~
which is unknown. a
''The pupil then always asks.
Well, isn't that in conflict with
the Garden of Eden Story?' and
admit that it is. But always explain
that evolution is only a theory. and
that they can take their choice. /
usually urge them to go to their
preacher for the answer.
But I don't think that iss teach
ing disrespect for the Bible. In
fact, I doubt If there is a teacher
In the District who more consistent
ly urges his pupils to read the
Bible than / do"
Doctor Hay said the biology text
books now used in the high schools
here are Hunters New Essentials
of Biology" and Hunters Civic
Biology" The latter is the same
text which caused all the discus
sion when used by John Thomas
Scopes.
The head of the District biology
however, said that in
all his years of teaching he had
never, assigned the chapter on evo-
luton for study, "even # there is
one, and I'm not sure of that" He
emphasized the fact that even when
evolution is brought up by a pupil
it is taught as a theory and not dis
a fact.

II ever a person tried to be alb

"One honest word deserves

that the very thought OF the

the world the personification OF all
