Echoes From the international
Congress OF School Hygiene" He
said that at the close of his last ad-
dress in which he spoke Of the great
subject of the congress as being the
| betterment Of the race, he was asked
by one of his hearers why there was
in every nation this discussion re-
garding the teaching Of sex hygiene
in the schools.
| The great reason is the startling
prevalence of disease which comes
from Ignorance on the part Of the
youth of the land DR.. Hughes said.
These diseases which are transmitted
through generations, bringing suffer
ing and sorrow to innocent children
are In ninety-nine cases contracted
because of ignorance of its awful re.
suits. To prevent this heritage, the
doctors and educators everywhere
have felt some measure is imperative
and the teaching of sex hygiene in the
public schools it is believed will be a
means to prevent the prevalence of
these diseases. To teach these ques-
tions in clean, scientific way, is
vastly better than that the knowledge
should come from the alleys in vile
way. The great object in view is to
save the greatest asset which the
world has, namely the human race
We want the children to have clean

minds.
Birth Rate Lowered.
Very recent statistics show that in
the year 1912 in that section of the
United States in which vital statistics
are recorded, there were $4,000
deaths and that there were N2,0oC
births. or in other words, the birth
rate was $4,000 less than the death
