GO many people have asked me
- to find a book that intelli-
gently and honestly handles the
delicate question of sex in child life
So many authorities have confined
themselves to adults and there has
been a storm of controversy over
the subject matter and the find
ings.
Havelock Ellis has established
himself as an authority on the psy-
chology of sex, and it required
many years to have him accepted
as an authority, and not as a SEN
sational freak.
Have been notified by the Macau-
lay Company of New York that they
will publish on Oct 20 Sex in
Childhood" by Ernest R. Groves
and Gladys Hoagland Groves.
Because I am controlled by the
release date of the publishers, I can
not review the book at this time.
I have read it and with propriety I
may state that there is tremend-
Gus treatise on the subject. Will
review this book at length after
publication date.
One is interested in the two au-
thors of the book; that is the only
way one may decide whether they
are authorities and have the right
to write such book.
DR.. Groves is in charge of the In
stitute for Research in Social
Science at the University of North
Carolina. He is the editor of well
known sociological series and author
of Personality and Social Adjust
ment," The Marriage Crises" and
The Drifting Home"
Mrs. Groves, his wife, is co-editor
of The Parents Problems depart
ment of the Junior Home Magazine
and is co-author with her husband
of Sex in Marriage" and other
books.
This background, I believe, gives
them the right to speak with au-
thority, understanding and expert
ence.
For years we have had maya
zines for women. boy and girl scouts
and the like. The other day I re-
ceived the first quarterly publica-
ton of Esquire" magazine for
men.
This magazine is essentially mas
culine and breathes of the great
out -of doors. The cover design is
devoted to aviation and gives the
idea of party of men landing on a
lake in the northwoods ready for
grand shooting expedition.
This issue has special articles by
Ernest Hemingway, Nicholas Muir
ray Butler. Gilbert Seldes, Ring
Lardner Jr., and Charles Hanson
Towne.
Short stories are contributed by
John Dos Passes, William McFee,
Erskine Caldwell, Douglas Fair
banks Jr., and many others.
Humor is represented by George
AIDE, Montague Glass. David Monroe
and Harry Hershfield. The maya
zine has a sports, poetry and car
toons section.
Most of the illustrations are in
color. The entire magazine appealed
to me as a good chum. full of life
and very strong. 1t is just the sort
of a magazine that man loves to
have on his reading table near his
bed or in his den.
Yes. John Galsworthy finished a
complete novel before he died. Very
fortunately, "One More River" COM
pleteS the life story of Dinny Cher
rell. 1t is published by Charles
Scribner's Sons and sells for $3.50.
Eugene O'Neills latest play, "Ah,
Wilderness" now comedy success
with George NJ, Cohan in New York
City, has been published by Random
House. Sells for $3.50. 1t may be
obtained at any book store in the
city.
Just published is -Four Days
Wonder" by A. A. Milne. I have
not received copy as yet and can
not give you an account of the
plot.
