Why Should Sex Hygiene Be
Taught in Our Public Schools?
(PaPer prepared and read by meeting
Of the ParentTe acher Assocaon0

OF MS powers. He would learn that
each must bear and forbear, that the
husband must honor the wife as the
weaker vessel, and not despise her
because her strength is limited. Thus
forewarned, life would not be saddened
by distressing surprises, but each new
responsibility would prove a blessing
to make the home-tie sweeter and
stronger.
When each learns to live for the
happiness of each other divorce will
cease.
Fourth, we would in time have a
nation of happy home-builders; men
and women of force and moral back
bone
The strength of our nation is in our
homes What is the great purpose of
all patriotism? To protect our
homes.
Why do we teach the great lessons
of virtue, or truth and of honor? To
strengthen our homes. What is the
meaning of commerce? Why send
the products of the Eastern factory
to California and the fruits of Califor-
mia to the East. To minister to our
homes. "And what is a home? 1t is
place where a man and a woman,
having stood together before God, and
according to the laws of the state, and
taken upon themselves the vows of
husband and wife, enter into that rela-
tionship, one with the other, by which,
and through which, God has planned
that life should be brought forth. The
trinity of the home is the father, moth
er and child. The home then is the
nesting place for the bearing and rear
ing of the child"-God's workshop,
holy place, meant to be foretaste of
heaven.
Is there one here prepared to deny
that sex hygiene properly taught in
our public schools, taught by a con-
secrated Christian, devoutly spiritual,
to one child at time, would in time
fill our country with real homes, homes
where children would become clean
thinkers, looking upon marriage as
sacred and binding, permissible only
in answer to "a great, compelling
love"-condemning divorce as a mon
ster evil tending only to sin and con-
fusion-homes with purposes high
and holy, where the moral uplift Of
the child would stand for more than
any material advancement.
Some one says: But after all, ought
not the mothers to do it. Yes, most
emphatically yes, but they won't. One
could truthfully say, alas, and alas, but
they can't.
Why did Isaiah cry out, WOE is me,
for | am undone, because l am man
of unclean lips, and dwell in the
midst of a people of unclean lips"
Because he had seen the King in his
glory and had heard in his soul the
heavenly cry of Holy, Holy, Holy"
Then when this Holy God wanted to
send message to this same people
Of unclean lips, he was ready to say in
deepest humility, "Here am I, send
me-"
o! father, o! mother Have you
seen the vison? You cannot teach
Gods plan of life to that little child
without it. Have you ever fallen on
your face in humility before God. o
father, o mother, crying, Here am l
Lord, send me to teach thy plan to
the immortal soul, Thou hast commit
ted to my care and keeping. o teach
me how! o make me clean! o spare
my baby the communicating touch OF
sin. o, let it think Gods thoughts
and not Satan's. Keep my boys as
