SEX INSTRUCTION..

wide difference OF opinion exists
among school men as to the extent to
which sex instruction should be given
In the schools as shown by reports to
the United States bureau Of education.
Ohicfab OF the bureau express thescon-
viction that the sex hygiene question
is about to assume great Importance
In many school systems. Ideas sub.
mitted to the bureau range all the way
from detailed plans for sex instruction
beginning in the elementary schools
b q determined opposition to any form
Of sex education whatsoever The bu-
teau declares that while there are
many teachers and medical men who
favor sex education in the schools
holding that;the policy Of silence and
punishment as practiced !. in the past
has failed and that education rather
than. punishment should be the remedy
for social evils"
There are many on the other hand
both among the educators and physi.
cians who see danger In this instruc-
ton, holding that safety lies IN d.
terting attention from sex details"

CAN IDENTIFY RACES
BY BLOOD CRYSTALS
Philadelphia Scientist Makes
Discoveries Regarding the
Mechanism of Life.

PHILADELPHIA, May 4.-Experi-
ments conducted by DR.. Edward T. Reich
ert. ply siologist of the University or
Pennsylvania, show that the blood of a
colored man can be clearly distinguished
from that of white man, according to
a report of that scientists recent re-
search work made public here yesterday.
1t is further reported he is confident
that continued scientific revelations Will
result in scientists being able to distin-
guish the blood of an American from that
of a Chinaman. the blood of an Italian
from that of an Englishman. and tpe
blood of a German from that of French
man, and SO on.
Studies of Life's Mechanism.
DR.. Reichert has been at work for sew
eral years to discover the mechanism by
which the phenomena of life are pro-
duced, and has just completed a report
of the discoveries he made of the under
lying processes Of living matter.
His report declares that the crystals
of mans blood are light, rectangular plates
and rods, and those of the orang-outang.
the chimpanzee, the baboon and the mon
key are nearly the same form, but still
so different that each can be dlstin-
guished from the others. In the same
way the blood crystals Of the gorilla can
be distinguished from those Of the orang-
OLtang.
Classification of Animals.
In the old method of classifying ami
mails according to their tribes. the bear
was always placed In the same family
as the dog, the wolf and the fox. BY the
new method of comparing the blood crys-
tails Of these animals it has ben proved
conclusively that the bear is closely re-
lated to the sea lions and seals, and is
not related to the dog, the wolf or the
fox.
In the bird world similar results have
been shown. DR.. Reichert says. The guinea
fowl, for instance, has been classed in the
family Of the domestic fowl. The guinea
fowls blood crystals, however, have now
been demonstrated to be much more near
ly like those Of the ostrich.
