The Facts OF Sex-How, When and
Where May They BE Taught was the
subject of the morning sermon yester-
day of the Rev. John Haynes Holmes,
of the Church OF the Messiah
Sex facts" said Or. Holmes, should
be taught. first OF all, by the parents
just as soon as the children begin to ask
questions. The questions must be an

they concerned nothing more unusual
than the food on the table. The answer
must be stated IN terms, not Of informa-
ton but Of poetry and romance.
Next comes the school. and here our
method must not he poetry, but science.
we come TO another stage In sex in

the psychology of life-he must also
know about the psychology OF love. This
means literature

ton % it all. Here the church must do
