THE SEX PROBLEM
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Crane)


A young man writes me that he is
twenty-seven, in good health, unable on
account of financial reasons to get mar
ried, and wants to know how to solve the
problem of sex desire.
He has asked me the hardest question
in the world. And the most complicated
Many persons do not want to see the
subject mentioned in print at all. Any
discussion Of it otfendS their sense of
delcacy. And yet an intelligent under
standing of it has as much to do with
making or marring happiness as any 9th.
er one matter.
One curious element of the affair Is
that those who have lived through all
phases of the question, and have reached
the cool and philosophic slope of life,
know as little about it as the beginner.
They usually can only repeat some con-
ventional morality or take refuge in re-
ligious formulate.
There are however certain broad lines
that il were well to recognize.
First. this desire being entirely natural
and universal, the customs of society
should be so arranged as to provide for
its normal expression
as demonstrated by the long experience
Of the race, is homogeneous marriage.
This has its insists and hardships, and
so do all human institutions, but they
are nothing compared to the collapse Of
ideals, to the decay of character and to
the ensuing grossness of nature, caused
by any other imaginable relation of the
sexes.
I'll thnr
brings the age of marriage to the age OF
the appearance of seX-functioning, the
sounder and more rational it is. IL
economics and other reasons postpone
marriage, then those reasons are wrong
If, in individual cases, the youth is
persuaded that he ought not marry TILL
thirty or so. there is but one way open
to him. That is hard way, often way
of fierce self-conict, but it is the only
possible way.
II is To maintain himself inviolate, to
live in absolute celibacy. Every scientist.
every physician, every morally sound
man will agree TO this.
If it means struggle, it is but part OF
the great struggle of life itself, the slow
and often grilling warfare of the better
nature against the animal in us.
The alternative to this, the unlawful
qualification of our appetites, is not to be
thought of for a moment by any one who
cares to retain his self-respect and all
the finer parts of his character.
That il is physiological necessity is
plain lie, having no foundation in science.
Sooner or later every young man has
to settle this issue and he'd better do so
with wide-open eyes, find out facts and
not listen TO hearsay and ignorant opin-
ion. and, having made up his mind, stick
TO his decision no matter what forces
may oppose.
And in no department of life are the
rewards so great as when We here right
the good fight, stick to our principles and
come out triumphant.

Bother Efficiency! This
Looks Like a Sex Matter!

The difficulty in the board of educa-
ton arising over the position of Miss
Ethel Perrin, director of physical train
ing in the public schools. resolves itself
into the question of whether it is on ac-
s count of sex or inefficiency that she is
relieved" of her position.
She is graduate of Wellesley college
and is said to be most able supervisor
\, Of women, but when il comes to men, it is
. different matter.
On the face of it, IL appears TO be an
other sex problem, with which efficiency
has very little to do.
We have not yet arrived at the point
where capability is everything and sex
nothing in the filing of positions.
It is not at all surprising that men
teachers do not wish to be supervised
BY woman. The dominance of the
male has stood unchallenged too long to
4 expect any sudden change.
It may also be true that the men do
not need supervising, but that is another
matter and should be dealt with separ-
stely.
\ Il When teachers do not need supervis-
Ion, abolish the supervisor by all means,
and save the city the expense, but do not
mix issues.
This trouble has so many reasons
y mOuRht to bear upon it, that it has a
familiar sound.
We seem to see the old bogy of sex
prejudice lurking in the background.
Nothing discreditable has been said
Of Miss Perrin and no valid reason has
been given for her discharge.
This prejudice has been fought by
Ella Flagg Young all through her incum-
bency as superintendent of public schools
of Chicago.
It is being fought by suffragists all
over the world.
The day is still far off when ability
and efficiency, those gods Of the indus
trial and educational world, will be the
only standard for position and sex will
be relegated to the background where it
belongs.
There is no question as to the super
vising of women by men.
That is done so generally that no one
considers for moment whether the wo-
men like it or not.
Nor is the superiority of the man sup
orvisor especially looked into.
That he is a man, is sufficient
II is the sterling mark on the silver
the stamp of superiority.

lied yesterday to make another ap-
peal to the executive board of the
American Federation of Labor to re-
consider the case of L. P. Straube,
who was expelled at their command
last September Straube says he was
expelled from the Stereotypers' union
after the newspaper strike because
he ha drefused to let the members
of his union go in and break the
strike.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
local body, was sent to the San Fran
cisco convention to present Straube's
case. Yesterday he reported the &C
ton taken and bitterly condemned
Pres. Gompers and Sec'y Morrison of
the A. F. of L.
"By jugglery and trickery l was

appointed to see if our case should

rick said. 'sThos. Mccullough, the
chairman, is the business manager of
the Omaha Bee, an employer him

stay in the room while the proceed

Straube's expenses to Frisco so he
