Health Talks nv Or. Brady
How Wrong In Amer

To-day. dear sisthrcn. one OF our readers
who prefers TO hc known us Anne" occupies

i am reader OF your health articles. and
some agree with. and some don't and this
letter is about one OF the articles I don't
You printed Il communication from n Young
woman. VINO had evidently encountered some
unharpiness in life and who seemed to blame
h"r mother for not having instructed her con-
corning sex hygiene and all that sort OF thing
NOW as FAR AS can see all a Eirl needs Ia
know is tho difference between right nnd
wrong. and she will understand precisely what
sho ~ doing This seems to- be your strope
point 1t Is also mine. Yet / oppose your
ideas.
i really do not SEQ why any younu GIRL
or any young boy should he informed nhou,
shch matters 1t does not concern them when
theF are about TO mnrry then will be quite
time enough.
My mother never knew tnuEht me such
things none of mothers did. and yet we
managed to get along without II. What with
your advocat!n such instruction ns this. and
the so-cailed birth control movement, things
are approaching scandalous state.
81 am not an old maid | am a young wo-
man 90 years old. but for the life of me I can
not agree with YOU. The difference between
right and wrong is all that is necessary TO
teach boys and girls. ANNE"
Certainly that Is sufficient If boys and
girls were really trained to understand and
PciSuhocu bS pfcccDt ana example respect
what Is right, the whole problem would he
settled. But the difficulty about this noble
.Ilan is that boys and girls learn 40 many
things away from home that their parents
nave not seen nj 10 teach them at homeland
the things they learn away from home are
generally poorly dressed up even if they ham
pen to be true which they seldom happen
to be.
The question is clear enough for the du!lcst
understanding: Shall q boys father see to il
that his boy learns what he should know. or
shall girls mother look to tho propcr
instruction OF her daughter, or shall the chill
dren be left TO gather such information ms
they may pick up here and there. the parents
having duly warned them that right is right
and wrong is wrong?
the government authorities urge parents
to give their children proper Instruction The
government authorities have found that the
average age at which boys begin to receive
tainted instruction from older persons nway
from home Is years. and the average age
at which parents begin to give BOYS clean
instruction concerning life is Is yenrs
VINO darts plead as excuse for being six
years too late: well, I told him right WINS
right and wrong WAS wrong. ana IL isn't nv
fault II vicious persons convinced him that nv
teachings were of the Santa Claus kind"
