SCORES RE IN TEXTBOOKS
Jeffrey Tells Kappa Sigmas Many Volumes Are Damaging to ‘Youth.
George R. Jeffrey, former U. 8S. District Attorney apd candidate for Republican nomination as Governor, condemned “the public school textbook racket” in an address here this afternoon. He spoke to the state Kappa Sigma fraternity meeting in the Lincoln Hotel. Mr. Jeffrey charged that the history book “selected by Democratic politicians for use inthe * schools” mentions our Indiana President, Benjamin Harrison, only four times and then only to criticize him.” “There are many books,” he added, “adopted by the State Board of Education, under control of. politicians through the McNutt reorganization act, that are most damaging to the youth of the State. The best teachers deplore their adoption and in many instances refuse to buy the adopted books.
Cites Lincoln Passages
“The books adopted in Governor Townsend's administration have been grievously detrimental to the best interest and welfare of the children of the State in that the
history, ‘The Development of America.’ distorts the truth.
“It misleads the pupils concerning the lives of our greatest heroes. Abraham Lincoln is belittled. NothNng is told in the history of the story of Lincoln's life. ‘His great speeches, even the classic ‘Getiysburg Address,’ are ignored. “This book says Lincoln tried to conceal his dislike for slavery. Lincoln condemned slavery when as a very young man he saw the slave drivers’ cruelty to slaves. It was there he said: ‘If I ever have a chance I'll hit this thing. with all my might,’ a thing which he did all through his career.
Promises Investigation
“The book does give a splendid picture of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and the Southern leaders. It was written by a Southern author evidently for Southern schools.” He claimed that price increases in books had cost school children
+ $15250,000 over a five-year period and
promised to undertake a “real textbook investigation if he is elected Governor.” :
