 The Education Committee of the | London County Council has decided that under no circumstances should sex hygiene be introduced into class teaching in the elementary schools. ! This decision was reached after a long investigation and the examination of a large number of teachers.
 The evidence was almoset unani- ! mously against the proposition. Deal ing with the objections to the inclu- sion of such subject in the curricu- lum, the report of the committee men, tions in the first place that the knowl- edge of such matters among children depend very largely upon the type of home from which they have been drawn II is pointed out that where, as is unhappily common in many dis tricts, the parents and children live in one room in which all the events of life and death take place the ltnowl- edge of the children must be vehy diff ferent from that of children who come from a home where they are carefully guarded and who may obtain no in- formation of this kind until they are carefully guardd and who may obtain no information of this kind until they are over fourteen years of age It| n class. since, wl.,c tc some clill'en the facts are already known, there are benefit che child might aatn another in the second place speaking of these subjects in class must tend to break down the children's natural modesty and reserve. Nevertheless, the report agrees that some such instruction might be given 10 children over four teen in the higher schools and evening institutes. and 1t is suggested that pamphlets dealing with the subject should be given to girls leaving the elementary schools.
 Tho absence of Liberals from the ccming-out dinner and ball given by the Earl of Curzon for his daughter Lady Mary Irene Curzon, grsnddaugh- ter of the late l.. 2. Letter of Washing. ton, which the King and Queen would have attended but for the death of the Duke of Argyll, has been commented upon.
 "A good deal of remark" says Truth, .E Isence of any one known to be con- nected with the Liberal Party from i the magnificent ball given by Lord Cuzon last week It is not to be sup posed that none was invited on an Oc- casion when the King and Queen were | to be present and all the lesseuing that the noble host owes his English ! Ipeerage to a Liberal Government; SO one is reduced to the conclusion that ! the entertainment was boycotted by 1 the Liberals including, 1t is ! to be presumed, some of his maies. tvs ministers \ notwithstanding that his majesty was to be a guest.
 This introduction of class or par ty feeling into social life is very de- piorable and a bad imitation of the Dublin precedent"
 While 1t has not been suggested that the British Admiralty follow the example of Secretary Daniels and pro
 hibit the use of wines and liquors in
 the navy. a movement is afoot to induce the men to give up drink.
 Admiral Sir G. King Hall speaking of this movement said that temper ance in the navy was making progress an along the line. there was still room
 for much improvement He con-
 demned the practice of giving out
 grog and said fifty per cent of the
 men would give 1t up if some small
 addition to their pay were substi
 tuted He hoped some First Lord of
 thefuture would take up the matter
 with wisdom and boldness. It would
 mean adding only another s800,O0O to
 the pay of the men to bring about the
 reform, which would lead to an in.
 crease in efficiency 'all around.
