Issuance of a manual for teachers entitled ”An American Answer to Intolerance,” endorsed by many prominent educators, was announced today by the Council Against Intolerance in America. It aims to incorporate tolerance ideals through specific application in regular classroom work, rather than through any special tolerance program.
The manual, prepared by Frank Walser, authority on group study, with the assistance of Violat Edwards, the Council’s educational adviser, contains four approaches — self examination for prejudice, study of propaganda devices, rethinking of American ideals and supplying of factual information on which propagandists are most misleading, with emphasis on contributions of various racial and national groups.
