THROTTLING THE SCHOOLS 



Shipley reports that two thirds of rural schools 

 prohihit teaching evolution. This is no accident. 

 The September issue of the Fundamenatlist De- 

 fender explains how it is done:- 



"Tax payers may play an important part by de- 

 manding of their local school boards that only those 

 teachers be engaged who are openly and without 

 hesitation opposed to evolution. 



"Notice, I say 'openly opposed', for many people 

 repudiate evolution with their lips when questioned, 

 but retain mental reservations. Make sure that your 

 money, as a tax-payer, goes only to pay the salaries 

 of teachers who reject the beast theory in its en- 

 tirety. Let there be no half-way business! 



"The responsibility must rest with individual tax- 

 payers, working through their school boards, until 

 such time as a sufficient number of people can be 

 awakened to the seriousness of the situation and 

 demand action on the part of legislative bodies."
