District Schools
Revision in
Teaching
Committee to Survey
Program; Moy Ask
More Sex Education
BY JAMES G. DEANE

District public schools soon
will set up a committee to revise
the city's health teaching, pos
sibly to include more sex educa-
ltion.
Birch e. Bayh. health and
physical education director, said
today the planned revision will
take year or more. The aim, he
said, is to strengthen weak spots
in present health and hygiene
instruction.
A special committee Of school
principals and others recently
proposed stepping up sex teach
ling. and committee of Health
Department experts has also just
Recommended a restudy of the
present sex-education program.
The Health Department group.
headed by Dr.. j. Ross Taggart.
suggested that more stress on
sex matters and family life guild
ance is needed in junior high
school. They also urged COM
pairing the Districts program
with those elsewhere.
Proposal Explained
Mr.. Bayh said he is not advo-
eating any special sex courses
flor the schools. The school sys-
ITEM now covers the subject as
part Of general health and n.y.
giene training.
Were just as anxious to see
our children get adequate in
struction in nutrition, exercise
and rest, cleanliness, safety and
good mental health" he said.
But he said there seems to be
general agreement among edu-
Gators and medical experts that
sex instruction needs improve
ment. along with some other
aspects of the present program.
Any increased emphasis on
sex will be introduced, Mr.. Bayh
said, without fanfare" and as
a logical part Of general health
instruction.
One step expected to be taken
is a citywide health-knowledge
test, to learn how much young
sters know now, he disclosed.
Teacher Workshops Set Up
A series of workshop" ses-
sionS for teachers on family life
education already is under way
as one step in improving the.
school systems health teaching. i
About 125 teachers are enrolled,
Mr.. Bayh said.
Increased training of teachers
was one of the suggestions made
by Or. Taggartss COMMITTEES.
The Taggart group, which was
asked by School Supt. Hobart M.
Corning to make recommended
tons on the present sex program,
included DR.. Grace Stone, chief
of the School Health Service;
DR.. Truxton Morgan and John
Pendleton Of the Health Depart
lment. and William F. Benedict,
director Of the District Social
Hygiene Society.
The group offered to serve as
Iconsultants in revising the
present sex teaching program.

"This is simply one illustration

SIS, 1000 a year with no compen-
sation from either State.
Commissioner David B. Kar-
rick, who supervises health af-
fairs. brought the matter to the
attention of the other two Com
miSSioners at a board meeting
today.
He pointed out that Mrs. Bar
bara Hodges, chief Of the Health
Departments Medical Assistance
Division, has long been attempt
ing a solution to the financial
drain. He referred to a survey
made covering four months
which showed that county in
digentS spent a total Of 1908
days at District General while
the counties paid for not even
one day of care.
Money Needed
Last week end Mr.. Karrick de-
Iclared that this money could be
used to hire more doctors and
nurses which the hospital sorely
needs.
The law provides that District
General Hospital shall be used
for the disqualification of District
residents who are medically indi-
gent and for emergency cases.
Doctors at the hospital. however,
who must make the decision as
to who is an emergency case and
who is not, don't like to turn
away persons who, after further
examination, may turn out to be
in critical shape.
A number of private voluntary
hospitals in the District have
contracts with the counties which
specify payments for emergency
patients and planned admissions.
Treatment at District General
of non-District residents who are
not emergency cases is not pro-
Vided for under the law.

since he came to Washington
last Thursday. He and Mrs.
Brennan have not yet selected a

Attorney General Brownell and
several other Justice Department
officials as well as New Jersey
relatives and friends of Justice
Brennan also witnessed the

who watched with more than
usual interest the arrival of the

old Justice Frankfurter, who was
MS law professor at Harvard.
Tribute to Minton
Nor was Justice Minton for
gotten. Chief Justice Warren
opened the court session today
by expressing regrets that III
health had necessitated the re-
tirement of Justice Minton.
He has been more than our
associate" the Chief Justice said.
He has been our companion.
We are reconciled to his de-
parture only because it is in the
interests of his health. We all
wish for him in his retirement
a restoration of his vigor and
the satisfaction to which his dis
tinguished services to his country
so Justly entitle him."

Many county authorities feel
that the burden is on the pa
tient to apply to the county for
help. Mrs. Hodges, however,
pointed out that once the indi-
gent patient finds himself in
the hospital getting good care
he has no initiative to ask his
county to pay for it.
Maryland Won't Pay
Under Virginia law the State
reimburses counties for paying
District contract hospitals to
treat their medically INDECENT.
Maryland, however, refuses to
pay for indigents not treated in
Maryland hospitals. In the Free
State any such payments must
come from county funds.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner, declared
that the counties must have
some medical services or ar
rangements for their residents.
If they have been refused in
their own jurisdictions then the
District should refuse them. he
suggested.
Mr.. Karrick said he under
stands the county hospital ia
cilities are small. Gen. Lane sug-
gested an attempt be made to
work out reciprocal agreements
with the counties, although he
conceded the counties might not
approve paying for the large
flow of emergency cases brought
into the District.
Expectant Negro mothers who
present themselves at District
Generals doors in the eleventh
hour" present a problem, too, Mr..
Karrick said. He added he
doesn't think the county hos
pitfalls admit many of them.
