Haycock Says Schools
Will Weigh Murphy's
Views on Sex Courses,

School ofiicials will undoubtedly"
consider some of the Health Depart
ment,s recommendations on sex
education as they proceed with their
routine revision of school courses
during the coming year, Robert L.
Haycock, superintendent of schools,
declared today.
DR.. Joseph A. Murphy, chief of the
Health Department. school services
and chairman of a special subcom-
mittee working with he Board Of
Education's Advisory Committee on
wartime problems. recommended
Tuesday that sex education be in
tegrated into teaching at all age
levels.
He made the suggestion as he re-
vealed that Al per cent of the illegti-
mate children born in the District
are to mothers under 10 years Of
age. He also estimated that 1882
cases of venereal disease among
school-age children will be treated
IN department clinics this year.
Mr.. Haycock said that sex educa-
ton already is given at all age levels
in such classes as science, botany and
biology. Only in the senior high
schools, however, is a formal course
given on the subject. Many of the
illegitimate children were born tc
girls in junior high school,
Commenting on this. Dr. James A
Cannon, champion of widespread
sex education in the senior high
schools, said he believed students on
the junior high school level were
old enough to have such a course.
DR.. Carroll r. Reed, in charge of
curriculum revision for the public
schools, will be working with teachers
all during the year to improve all
courses offered, Mr.. Haycock ex-
planned. He said the school officials
had been listening to DR.. Murphy's s
remarks closely and would discuss
them fully during the revision.

Difficult Task Seen
In Keeping Virginia F.!
IN Repair
Report by Commission
Cites Many Problems
Imposed by Wartime
By the Associated d Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 26.-The
State Highway Commission's report
for the fiscal year 1923 indicates
that the department expects proper
upkeep Of Virginia's highways will
become an even tougher proposition
before the war Is over.
It's bad enough already, the re-
port shows. Wartime problems are
seriously affecting" maintenance,
construction and operation.
The war-caused shortages crimped
the department on every side-man-
power was cut almost so per cent
between June, 1912, and June, 1943;
highway revenues, which are de-
pendent on gasoline and motor We
hicle taxes, shrank steadily and new
materials proved difficult or i'm
possible to get.
The report declared that last year
there were times when many large
counties had less than a dozen
hourly maintenance employees, and
from all indications the labor short
age will become more critical before
1t improves" The highway COM
missions major task was said to be
TO bring our highways through the
war winters without undue inter
ruption to traffic or serious loss of
capital investment"
Other factors cited by the COM
mission showed:
Even convict road gangs were re-
duced by approximately 900 men
under normal years.
"A comparison of operations for
the previous four years and the past
f1scal year portrays a reduction of
over $500,000 in primary mainte-
nance and $1,750,OO0 in secondary
maintenance.
Construction expenditures were
80 per cent less, there were IS per
cent less free labor projects, 80 per
cent less contracts awarded and 70
per cent less mileage let to contract,
compared with previous periods"
The commission said: I'VE can
only cope with the situation by ef-
lectlng new methods, promoting ad-
ditlonal personnel training pro-
grams and with the continued un-
selhshness and loyalty of our en-
ployes.'
