Sex Education and Domestic
Science in Schools Is Urged
by State Health Commissioner

Sex education under certain restric-
tions in the public schools of the State
was advised by DR.. Samuel G.. Dixon,
State Commissioner of Health, rather
than the portrayal of sex problems in

There are great silences in a great love
And fools are they who vainly strive
to reach
Those shining shores beyond the
verge of speech,
Where none should fare-not even the
white dove
That hides forever in true lovers souls
And blesses them with stiffness.
There are deeps
That none should desecrate; jealous,
Love keeps
Sure watch when PASSIONS ocean
round her rolls.
These Gains are Loves hid meaning;
they contain
The covenant and gospel OF Loves

The very Bread Of beauty and the
Wine
Oh. never dream to enter that dim
fame,
Flooded with knowledge and Loves
awful tears,
But bow before the hush that IS
divine.
