The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has intensified its campaign to foster education in race and inter-group relations, and has set out to educate children toward racial tolerance, according to a UNESCO report received here today from Paris, where experts from eight countries met to discuss the subject.
A basic handbook designed to aid teachers to introduce the subject of racial tolerance as part of studies in history, geography, biology and religion will be circulated by UNESCO. The handbook is based on drafts approved by sociologists and written by Dr. Cyril Bilby, of the London University Institute of Education and Prof. Charles E. Hendry of the University of Toronto School of Social Work.
