The teaching of evolution as u theory (only fts a theory and not a fact) is forbidden in these states be cause it is at variance with the teachings of l-eligion. Al though the theory of evolution has never been taught in the schools as a proven or disproved explanation of tho rxistence of the universe and man, it is now to be excluded from the schools of these states because the law-makers and hnVholders disaeree with the scientist. Science, educa tion, and even religion are there made the business of poll-' ticians and legislators rather than the business of educa tors and theologians. Two lit) ml red years Itefore tho time of P.ryan, the funda mentalist who was a scholar and n free man said tn an other thinker, "I do not believe what you say but 1 will defend to the death your right to say it." In four southern states many thousands of boys and girls in high schools nnd colleges (the theory of evolution had never been taught in the grade schools) are to be denied the right to know th scientific point of view and to hear one theory as well a.i another and to be able to have broadened educational stimu lus that such teaching would make possible.
