SCHOOL MORALS
CHARGES FOUGHT.
Brooklyn Pedagogues Hit
Geoghan Remarks in
Urging Probe.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-A statement
by District Attorney William F. x.
Geoghan, that his ONCE had found
"an unusual moral condition" in
Brooklyn public high school, brought
counter-flre today from school Of
ficials.
The district attorney said he would
make public details Of his findings
In about week. He added: None
of the facts reflects disparagingly
upon the faculty members Of the
schools"
Geoghan said his Office, during an
investigation of sex crimes, had un-
covered an unusual moral condition
among students that warrants an
immediate and intensive" probe.
Some school authorities were indig-
nant over Geoghan's remarks. Among
those taking issue with him were DR..
Emil Altman, chief medical examiner
of the Board Of Education; James
Marshall, vice president OF the board;
DR.. John Tildsley, in charge Of the
ivy AA6AA oSaiOoAoy ea4AA SAAo1 ACC 0C6SAAJ
supervisor Of health activities.
Geoghan earlier In the week had
asserted that 'unsound moral con-
ditions exist in our high schools"
Dr. Altman said he believed Geo.
ghan's statements were greatly exag-
gerated."
Our boys and girls OF today" he
said, are as good as any OF the
previous generations. They are fool
ish in using cigarettes a bit too early,
but otherwise we can impose our con-
f1dence in them.
Charges such as those made by
the district attorney are harmful, as
they may stimulate those who have .
strong sex impulse into activity"
