On Teaching Sex Hygiene.

There has been a pronounced forward
movement in the attitude toward teach
ing sex hygiene in the schools. says j.
Stanley Brown, if we compare the ris-
cussion at st. Paul with that before
the department OF superintendent at
Richmond. Va, last winter. Mr.. Brown
Is superintendent of Township High
School Joliet, H.. where he has intro
duced instruction in this subject. We
quote from report he wrote for The
Survey:
Bitter and arbitrary opposition.
which IN many quarters this new sub
ject has met. seemed almost gone and
the resolutions OF the entire body of the
\. E. A, while cautious concerning the
fitness of the person giving instruction,
were positive in declaring that SucN
instruction should be given in the pub
lie schools.
"All were agreed that the home has
its work 20 perform and that IL is es-
senual that both father and mother be
prepared 70 give the kind of instruction
needed and TO cooperate with the
teacher.
BY common agreement the subject
is not TO be lugged into the class room
in its entirety but is to be given in
connection with various studies. Eu-
senics. etIthenics race preservation and
divorce are wrapped up in the pig idea
of Sex and ought not 10 be dragged
into the pool of the sexual as If sex
and sexual meant the So me thing.
1t is agreed that best results come
from teaching boys and girls in special
classes. 1t was clearly pointed out thar
the treatment of disease. resulting from
violation of sex laws. ought to be con-
sidered in just the same way as the
treatment of any other disease.
1t is maintained that teaching on
this subject ought to be graded in just
the same way as teaching on any other
subject and that instruction ought 20
! begin early as the third or fourth
thru the adolescent period. only such
Information should be given at eac n
stage as the grade Of the pupil indi-
Gates can be properly assimila,ed. and
! il is maintained that the parent or
guardian may always have the right to
ask that the child De excused entirely
from such instruction.
Tn order that teachers themselves
may be properly prepared to give in
schools, colleges and theological semin-
aries should provide adequate courses
for teachers in sex hygiene. and that
by so doing there may be wiser and
, more friendly co operation of the three
great forces in society, the school the
home and the church."
