Taachinn Sex Huniena-

Duluth Herald: The. question Of
how sex hygiene is to be taught the
young people Of the. land seems far
Their from being settled than it was
when it vas first considered.
That it ought to be taught nobody
will deny whose opinion is worth
while. chat failure to teach it ex-
poses childhood and youth to terrible
dangers there is an ugly volume Of
proof.
The parents ought to teach it. but
they don't and apparently they won't.
They are restrained by a false modes
ty that will no longer exist when a
generation has been taught to ap-
proach this human and normal sub
ject sanely.
The proposal to teach it in, the pub
lie schools appealed strongly at first,
largely because it was SO clear that
there is little hope in the home until
a generation can be trained into a
that ought to be Is commonplace and
natural as the workings of the stom-
ach.
The realization. that the personal
equation entered so strongly into this
as to make it dangerous has given
pause to the enthusiasm for public
school instruction in sex hygiene,
though 1t has by no means quenched
1T.
A writer in The Journal Of the
American Medical association, hoWev-
and practical. After deciding. as all
must in the circumstances, that to
leave the teaching OF sex matters to
the home is to drop 1t entirely. he
proceeds:

of the ear by Frank J. Lommell who
has recently purchased same.
Lack Of storage facilities and a limit
ed capital caused the temporary clos
ing Of the mill. The mill could be
made to pay with an elevator in con
nection and capital enough to enable
the storing Of wheat in the fall.
The land around Havana and for
a distance Of some miles on all sides
is perfectly level. The soil is a deep
black loan of great fertility with a
clay sub-soil.
An abundance Of clear, pure water
is obtained at a depth varying from
twenty-five to s~eVenty-ive feet.
Artesian wells with a strong flow are
800 feet deep.
Seven miles east of Havana is the
northern termination Of the Dakota
Coteau, a range of hills 200 to 500
feet high and about six miles wide. A
greater part of this land is now under
cultivation and the balance is ideal for
stock raising. The ~ravines and coulees
are we'll wooded furnishing shelter for
stock in stormy weather. In many Of
the raVines are springs having a
strong flow of pure clear water.
The village Of Havana was incor-
porated in the spring of 1904 and now
boasts Of a population of about $50.
At present there are about ten
blocks of cement side walks and there
will probably be as much more laid
next spring.
Electric lights and a water system
is being agitated with a probability of
their being installed in the near
future.
A year ago J. P. Williamson pre-
sented the village with a ten acre
tract Of land within the corporate
limits to be maintained as a public
park. This has been seeded to lawn
grass and it is the intention to plant it
In trees next spring, lay out a ball
ground and possibly eXcavate for an
artificial lake. Mr.. Williamson is one
of our early settlers, a most progress
i've farmer owning some acres and is
considered one of our most public
spirited citizens. Though he lives at
his Golden Hill farm three miles from
Havana he always has the best inter
ests of the village at heart.
The village also maintains four
small parks in the centre of town. The
business streets are laid out parallel
with the railroad while the later ad-
ditions were laid out by section line
thereby leaving several triangular lots
throughout the village. Those on the
railroad right of way were leased from
the Great Northern last spring, seeded
to lawn grass and flower beds planted
which added greatly to the appearance
of the town and caused those from
other towns to sit up and take notice
of Havana's public spirit.
The position of a community in the
| American push of progress is measur-
ed by it's attitude toward the education
of the people. In this regard Havana

the schools as the only organized me-
dunn available. But it is. also plain
that to make a sudden jump from the
reticence of the home on all matters
pertaining to sex to a direct discus
sion of sex hygiene. in the schools
would be. as dangerous to the child as
1t would be abhorrent to the parent.
If we could only stop crying re-
fort, stop the warning between the
sentiment surrounding innocence and
the excitement over the moral results
Of ignorance. and treat the question
from the point Of view Of educational
science, the matter would be very
simple. Give the children more nat
urat science taught by competent
teachers--botany to the youngest,
biology to the older ones, and anaro-
my and physiology to those Of 10 or
IL. years. The sexual side should not
be emphasized by taken as a matter
Of course. With this foundation the
teaching Of sexual questions as such
ents or a sideshoW to children. q
II nave known boys who were for
tunate enough to be, brought up in
homes In which they received proper
instruction and. explanation. and their
true modesty and frank understand
ing of things sexual were distinctly re-
freshing after the prudery I'M NOR
bid curiosity which are perfectly nat
ural in the ignorant child"
There lis no need of an abrupt lean
into an open discussion of sex. It can
be approached, as this writer suggests,
by the natural way OF nature teach
ing. A child who learns the interest
ing and innocent facts about the re-
production Of plants and insects and
animals, will soon unconsciously real
ize the innocence and n~aturalness OF
the reproduction of human beings
And any method of teaching Is bet
ter than the distorted teaching which
most children get nowadays directly
or Indirectly. through the tutelage OF
the alieyssan I'M slums.

speaker blankly. 81 don't, thinkJI fol-

Gee whizz, don't you know anything

skeptically. IF there's more rice than
the market can absorb, then down goes
the price and all the work OF the rice
growers is lost" ~ ''
"Do you mean to say that it is bad
for the people to- get their rice at a
low price," ~
Bad for the people! No. Who said

growers and the bankers and the
transportation companies and the

stranger to your customs. What you
say seems to me very unreasonable. /
should think that large crops of what
eve kind would be a cause for general
rejoicing. 1t would mean that people
could thus feed themselves pnore easily
and be freer to devote themselves to

"The Money Monopoly"

Woodrow Wilson (when governor of
Now Jcrsey)- The great monopoly in
this country is the money monopoly.
SO long AS that exists, our old variety
and freedom and individual energy or
development are out Of the question.
A great industrial nation is controlled
by it's system Of credit. Our system
OF credit is concentrated. The growth
Of the nation, therefore, and all our
activities are in the hands of a few
men, who. even if their actions are
honest and intended for the public
interest, are necessarily concentrated
upon the great undertaking in which
their own money is involved and who.
necessarily, by every reason of their
own limitations, chill and check and
destroy genuine economic freedom.
This is the greatest question Of all.
and TO this, statesmen must address,
themselves with an earnest detcrmiha-
ton to serve the long future and the
true liberties of men.
