VG OF MORAL HYGIENE-By George caves, D. D.

In that case morals is TO be taught
by personality. example. environment of
religious influences; not dogmatically or
didactically at all, and not In school!
On the whole one concludes that there
is something perverse about the good doc
tors thinking. Quick and shrewd and
keen as he is. he appears to make the
drawing distinctions his chief industry.
Not to put too fine a point upon my
criticism. II seems, In spite OF DR.. Cabot.
that 1t is as easy to make moral mis-
takes as to make sanitary errors, and
both through ignorance. He really should
push his chief industry yet one step fur
Their and distinguish between morality
and the religious ethic. What he calls
legality Is precisely what has been called
morality these many. many years. For
both moral mistakes and sanitary errors
may arise through either neglect, wilful-
ness. ignorance, or the pressure of others.
And the result of such errors will be
more or less appropriate disaster. DR..
Cabot at last falls back on the theorem
that only religious motives avail to pro.
duce moral results of a satisfactory sort
All this NAV be taken as the swing
OF the pendulum. These many years
America has held that II was no business
of the state to teach religion. The re-
suit has been what Is called by many
good men goddess school system. Now

pose being that these parents might
learn how to teach and warn and guide
their children concerning the guardian
ship of their own bodies. Some par :.
ents responded and some good was un-
doubtedly done. More results would ac-
crue were parents more generally will
ing to learn the facts or aware of the
danger of neglect. Similar work, l
believe, is outlined this year also.
But it is very live" question which
starts up when the responsibility for
such instruction Is placed upon the
school and the teacher. In handling
these intimate questions can the teach
er take the place of the parents when
even the parent shrinks, knowing how
Nay, is there much good to be done
by dogmatic instruction, by more or
less frank mention of topics which are
considered too intimate for words? Such
questions were in the mind of DR.. Cabot
as he addressed the society con-
corning sanitary and moral prophylaxis.
Let 1t be promised that prophylaxis
means guarding against disaster before
1t is too late. a locking of the stable
door before the horse is stolen. The
precise question. before the society was
whether both moral and sanitary guar
dianship are of the same order.
I make no apology for quoting large
ly from the account of the discussion
given by the Survey. The speaker made
five distinctions. He said in effect:
1. Sanitary prophylaxis can be taught
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-11-02

by word of mouth: morality cannot. Prac-
tice and contagion are its teachers.
2. Sanitary care may be compelled by
force or fear; but force and fear do not
produce morality at all, but legality
3. Sanitary mistakes may occur through
ignorance. This is not true of moral
faults One who Knows no better" is
not immoral but non-moral.
4. Sanitary affairs publicity cannot be
overdone. In moral affairs undue pub
licity is dangerous.
b. The rich are more sanitary than the
poor, but not more moral.
The speaker enlarged, or as he said,
"embroidered' upon these propositions
emphasizing the first distinction. He
showed how mere verbal instruction con-
corning dangers to health. and the terri
may quite fail to produce moral results.
Mere Information on these matters will
not teach morality. Truthfulness, hon.
esty. chastity-these are values, not facts.
and cannot be taught merely by word OF
mouth, by giving information" The
speaker showed how the possession of in
formation on the delicate processes of
biology does not necessarily create an i'm
preston of the sacredness of life, though
the textbooks on sex hygiene imply such
necessary connection.
Indeed, DR.. Cabot INDICATED his reputa-
ton for a fearless thoroughness in q
series of paradoxes. by which he made
1t appear that sanitary prov sions may
increase immortality and also that a strict

tues. Morality is trained by discipline,
interest. enthusiasm, love for person,
place or institution. 1t is taught only
by prolonged and intimate contact with
a personality.
Not unnaturally DR.. Cabot concluded
that the public schools do not afford
the setting for an intimacy sufficient for
sex teaching. He considered the strong
est moral influence to be that of religion
and he succeeded In stirring very In
teresting discussion, to which Dean
Sumner of Chicago contributed the OPP
posite view to DR.. Cabot's on the value
of the public school for teaching sex
hygiene.
Now when II comes to teaching facts.
real cold. scientific, final and absolute
facts about the body. it's structure and
biology. why should not the teacher au-
thoritatively teach them? As I under
stand DR.. Cabot, he Is averse to allow
between the ages of 10 and Is, except
through a person who has ADEQUATE In
timacy. But perhaps I misundersta nd
him. as he says his critics misunder-
stood his spoken words. Perhaps he
does think that this cold. scientific treat
ment is precisely the fell to be occupied
by the trained teacher, dealing not in per-
sonalities and morals but wholly In fun
damental facts. It may be that he would
make the division here. but would not
allow sex hygience to be taught by that
teacher, because sex hygience Is scien-
tific fact plus something else, which may
be described as good morals.

C. Cabot, the famous physician and
philanthropist, discussed the propriety
of teaching in public schools what Is
now called sex hygiene.

ton from simpering mawkishness and
sentimentality. Is the frank ness with
which we now face the whole problem
of child training, physical and moral
as well as mental.
Moreover. there Is a most general and
growing conviction that not enough
warning or knowledge is given girls
and boys about the mysteries and
forces of their personal organism and
that the people responsible for this de-
fciency are parents and educators.
Hence the schools are beginning to re-
spond to the new call and textbooks
have been prepared. Because we have
an enlightened leadership, the parents
in our own Birmingham schools were
invited last year to hear lectures by
DIR. McLester, the health officer of the
board of education, and a number OF
other prominent physicians. one pur-

scheme whereby the world would not get
any more coffee than was necessary TO

a proper level. His scheme Is known the
world over as the valorization plan. By
it the Brazilian government buys all the
coffee that Is produced In Brazil and
regulates the production. The money for
