Teach Boys and Girls Social
Hygiene
By REV. CT. AKED, DID,, LII. D.

-YY h are agreed nowadays that
wv the world is cursed by ig-
norance and darkness.
We are agreed that it may be
blessed by knowledge and light.
Most of us who are of any use
whatever in the world are trying
to reduce the sum total of hu-
man ignorance and find the path
way of light.
Notable among the banner
bearers of an all-conquering
knowledge must be reckoned the
little group of men and women
who have named themselves THE
Social Hygiene Society" They
might have found a better name.
They could hardly be engaged in
a better work.
The membership of this society
includes merchants. lawyers,
workingman, physicians, business
men and women, preachers,
teachers. One looks in vain for
fanatics freaks or faddists. for
cranks and cantankerous per-
sons who are anti-everything.
Now, this society has been or
gained for the purpose of broad
ening the pathway of light, and
for the purpose of inducing youths
and girls to walk in it. In mat
ters the most vital, most vital to
the individual and to the State,
ignorance is most dense.
Boys and girls ought to know.
No good comes from forbidding
knowledge to them. AS mat
ter of fact, they will know, soon
er or later The trouble is that
they may know too late. They
will learn the facts of life. Moth
ing but imbecility or death can
prevent them learning. 1t is a
question solely as to whether
they shall learn in sweet and
gracious way from good and wise
teachers or in a prurient, disgust
ing way from evil companions.
charlatans and quacks, the ghouls
of our cities, the vilest of the vile.
1t is the view Of these earnest
men and women that parents
ought to teach their boys and
girls the things they need to
know. They believe that the best
teaching can be done in the home.
They are not anxious that the
schools should be used for this
purpose. They are not asking
that teachers should be compelled
to qualify and that social hygiene
should form part of the curricu-
lum of the public schools. Fa-
theirs and mothers, they think,
ought to be anxious, lovingly
anxious, 20 teach their children
as much of the meaning of life
as is necessary to defend them
