Offensive Volumes

But so far such remonstrances as that of Dr. Goodnow have not been successful in restraining the witch hunters. The Adjutant of the American Legion in Indiana has had Muzzey's An American History and West's A History of the American People removed from the schools of that state upon the ground that the books failed to pay proper regard to the acts of Americans during the Revolution. The learned Adjutant based his objections upon reports by the Chairman of the Committee on Patriotic Education of the Sons of the American Revolution. He had apparently not examined the offending volume, for he stated: " We have no knowledge as to the names of the publishers of either book."
