Protest Against Teaching Evolution in South African Colleges.
At the National Party Congress held recently at Bloemfontein, many delegates expressed themselves strongly on the subject of teaching evolution in the universities, as it was opposed to the Christian feelings of the people. One of the delegates said that as a Christian people the Afrikanders should condemn evolution with all their might. To say that man was descended from apes was pure atheism. Of course, the learned men of science will set all this down to the primitive mind of the Dutch and its incapacity to allow the new light to shine in. We trust the protest will do good, for while we refrain from expressing our opinion as to other sentiments expressed by delegates at the National Conference, we are in hearty sympathy with their attitude to the teaching of evolution in the universities.
