Arouscs Curiosity

Editor World: You are to be highly COM
mended on the stand you have taken AGAINST sex
hygiene being taught In our public high school
questions pertaining to sex should be considered
In the homo. the mother being the proper in =
structor FOR the daughter. and the father for
the son. Any attempt by the board Of educa tlon
TO Introduce sex hygiene into the high school
curriculum Is brazen enCroachment on the
fundamental rights OF parents to divulge the
secrets OF sexual life TO their children.
Sociology Is a delicate subject and ALWAYS will
be a delicate subject and should be dealt with
from an individual and not a collective stand
point, as was done in our high school "A few days
ago. This latter method merely tends to arouse
idle curiosity and often leads to actual investi-
galon one need not be professional psychol-
ogsl to know that curiosity is usually followed
by the desire 10 ascertain which in turn lea Is

dangers are abrogatod II the parents are allowed

Information 10 their offspring.
1t is therefore to be hoped that there will not
be a recurrence Of the despcable incident that
occurred at our high school last week and thnt
the parents and other progressive citizens of
our magic city will take the proper stems 10 see
that sex hygiene and discussions thereon will
be henceforth eliminated in our high school ana

me that there was something wrong

opportunity for me to fulfill the trust

The thought flashed across my mind,
too, that perhaps the crafty old gen.

disappearance of the gems. Perhaps
he had devised an elaborate test to
see IL was honest, II was of the
right caliber to be his heir. Maybe he

themselves might not have taken away

discover the loss and to ascertain
what 1 would do about It.
Another theory suggested itself. Ny
aunt evidently priced her jewels high

have repented having left them behind
and have rent the old colored butler
back to get them. He of course
would have key to admit him, and
they would have supplied him with
the safe combination, as they had me.
Probably he had been told to leave
some message for me and had forgot

day or two would receive a letter
