Lessons In Sex Physiology.

Lessons In Sex Physiology.
Referring to the recent movement
started by the Society of Sanitary and
Moral American Prophylaxis, the New
York School Journal now declares that
the necessity of recognizing sex in the
practical teaching of pupils in the pub
lie schools is before us in a greater
force than ever before. Dr. Mary Put
nam, who had investigated the schools
Of twenty cities. found no attention
given to sex instruction except in three
girls high schools. where women ply
sicians gave brief talks on topics relat-
ing to childbirth. The result was that
shame, mystery and actual evil were
associated with sex in the minds of
children, especially those over ten
years Old" She opposes the doctrine of
leaving the matter alone on the ground
that disease will punish the guilty, as
many innocent ones are infected for
one guilty one. Dean Ballet of the
New York School Of Pedagogy says the
subject has passed the stage Of inquiry
as to whether these subjects shall be
taught, for the present question is how
the subject is to be presented. John r.
Elliott of the New York ethical culture
schools opposes the plan of having
physician brought in to teach sex
knowledge, rs it increases the wrong
notion that the subject is unusual, and
he makes the practical suggestion of
using the boy and girl leaders to in
fiuence their mates in the right direc-
ton.
For Negro University.
The American Baptist Home Mission
society has undertaken the work of
building great university for the ed
ucation of negroes at Nashville, Tenn.
to take the place of that Of Williams
university. which was destroyed by
fire. Property for this purpose has
been decided to board Of trustees,
which is to be controlled by negroes.
Rockefeller to Help Teachers.
The report comes from Chicago that,
John D. Rockefeller is to establish

mission. Considering the previous tes-
timony showing that the Union Pacific
had got $1O.000,OO0 of Santa Fe stock,
it became clear that the Hartman in
terests in that system would total $4O,-
100000, or over one-fifth of the capital
stock.
The interesting feature of this testi-
mony, however, was that it proved
Hartman to be friend of the Stand
ard Oil group. President Ripley said
he did not know that the Union Pa
citic owned $1O,O00OOO Of his roads

Rogers nor Frick as directors had
shown any desire to iniure the Santa

admitted that the Hartman holdings
had tended to make the Santa Fe less

had been brought out how Hartman
juggled with the Southern Pacific in
1908 by selling to William Rockefeller

JUDGE TEMPLEToN DECIDES AN
ELECTION CASE.
Court Holds That Il. J. Johnson, De-

Right to Run for Office.

Grand Forks, Feb. 12-The law re-
quiring candidates at the primary cleo
tion to pay a certain sum for having
their names placed on the ballot is con-
stitutional. This was the decision rem
dered today by Judge Templeton of the
district in the case of Fl. ]. Johnson

who was one Of the defeated candidates
at the recent primary election. brought
suit to recover the sum he had paid
to the county for the privilege of run

be satisfied with the decision of Judge
Templeton but win appeal the case to
the state supreme court.
Unusual interest is being taken in
the case, for if the law is decided TO
be unconstitutional it would mean the
loss ofthousands of dollars by the state
at every election. The present status
requires the candidate to pay q GER
