Griffith, the insanity expert at the

the well-known local physician, Super
intendent E. 7. Moores, Of the blind
school, and others last night, said sex
ignorance on the part of the father and
mother, daughters and sons, has often
resulted in insanity, loathsome disease,
blindness and ruin. These gentlemen
of profession have all be directly con-
nected with the treatment Of unfortu-
mates who become victims of sex ignor-
ance and they stated to the members
of the meeting last night that these
maladies are caused chiefly by the suf.
ferer being brought up in ignorance
concerning his or her real helf.
The schools should take this matter
in hand, the parents should be advised
and society in general should make an
effort to assist along the lines suggest
ed by the members of the Oregon Hy-
giene society and others attending the

which Justice Burnett will appoint will

Parents Unmindful.
Ignorance and indifference, on the
part of the parents, business and poll.
tics, are the four sources through which
the young man and woman goes out into
the world hardly knowing what is right
from wrong, according to the statement
made by Dean Patterson, Of Willamette
University. The child is neglected
said Mr.. Patterson, when the parent
laughingly brushes it aside following
some innocent and harmless questions
Ipropounded by it. A mother can ex.
plain, argue and convince her offspring
in manner that no one else is able to
do, said Dean Patterson, but oftentimes
great many times, in fact, the mother
fails to realize the great Importance
attached to childish questions.
Educate at Home.
Rabbi Jonah b. Wise, of Portland,
struck the keynote of the problem at
hand when he stated that instruction in
sex hygiene should begin right at home.
In other words, he said, the mother and
father of children should take up this
great question and give it their most
careful and prompt attention just as
soon as the little ones are capable Of
reasonable understanding. Rabbi
Wise said that the parents should Sc
educate themselves that they may be
able to impart the most delicate infor'
nation to their children make them
Thoroughly understand the meaning OF
all things and, above all, hold the con
fidence of their offspring from baby
hood to manhood or wonGanhood.
Rabbi Wise declared that the child
can be taught more valuable things by
its parents in the way of its sexual sell
than all the other people studying the
matter put together and that the teach
lings of the right from wrong sexuallJ
should be made a paramount subject il
