Sioux City School Board Opposes
Teaching Of Sex Physiology
In the School

Des Moncs Mothers Club Has Asked
That Children be Taught "Thinss
They Should Know" in Public School
and it Starts Discussion Among
School Boards in the State.

Sioux City, Nov. 5.--A movement
started in Des Moines by mothers
club there. to have sex physiology"
taught in the schools OF the state, does
not find favor with the board of edu-
cation here. Members of the board
says the movement simply means thai
some parents are trying to shift the
responsibility upon the schools and the
children.
The reason given by the Des Molnes
is that girls and boys should be taught
things they should know" at the for
NATIVE period of their lives believing
it would result In more intelligent ana
cleaner living.
The movement was started before In
other cities and has been repeatedly ,lc-
feated. In Lincoln, Neb.. the school
board received Il similar demand and
replied that lectures along the line of
sex physiology, anatomy and hygiene,
are given students when they enter the
university.
In Des Moines the school board has
been asked to place IA text book on sex
physiology III the school room, AMI the
request viii be considered as a demand
when the members act upon 1t ut their
next meeting.
Members of the Sioux City board If
education declare they will defeat such
Il movement II they are asked to add
the new study to the curriculum. Mem
bers of the Mothers Child Study Club
say they will be among the last in the
state to ask that children be givel
instruction in things they ought to
know" on a co-educational basis IN the
Sioux City schools.
A member of the school board said
yesterday:
There is an increasing tendency
among parents to push the home train
ing of children into the public schools,
This would not be the case. Sex phys
iology il / understand it, would work
much evil among the children. 1t
would reduce the subject of sex anat-
omy to a familiar basis and open
things to a child's mind, when it is
better for them to remain sealed.
by this do not mean that child
rem should not be taught these things
they ought to know in the home to the
extent that they will know how to care
for themselves, but do not Delieve in
introducing the study for common
talk with children. When a child
learns there is no stork and no Santa
Claus, life begins in earnest and child
hood Is gone forever"
Another member Of the board, Who
believes the movement to be radical,
said: "Fads start in this way. Par
ents are made to believe their children
should receive such knowledge in the
schools and most of them gladly shift
the responsibility. Most fathers and
mothers have an aversion to approach
ing the subject Of the science of phys

course of Fred NJ Warner during the

first term as senator the News said
of him.
while the tern corporation will
always be associated with the legisla-
ture Of 1895, and deservedly, too, it
is only fair to say that there was a
respectable minority in both houses,
which, had 1t been able to shape the
course of affairs, would have made a
brighter history. Such senator's as
Warner (and seven others, naming
them, and thirteen members of the
house, naming them) were the more
conspicuous of the little group at each
end of the capitol whose course was
uniformly the reverse of that marked
out by the machine and other corpora

WAS REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION

The Australian ballot system means
in the mind Of pretty much everybody
the feature of an authorized uniform
ballot furnished by official authority
and the private booth in which the
voter prepares his ballot secure from
observation. These are the effective
safeguards that are in the mind of
every man when he speaks of the Aus.
tralian ballot, and without which no
other features of it would be worth
anything. Those are provided in the
election law enacted by the Republican
legislature OF 1870. and approved by
Gov. Cyrus G.. Luce. The law was
passed by the votes of 80 per cent of
the Republican members, while co per
cent of the democrats either voted
against it or did not vote at all. In
an amendment adopted by the sue
ceeding Democratic legislature the
fea tire of the blanket ballot was add.
ed; but that is detail of trifiing, con.
sequence beside the provision of the
official ballot to be furnished by the
state or the county, and the private
voting booth, which are the features
of vital consequence, land were both re-
publican measures.
