enter the service until after the

pared for last-minute rush to beat

P-TA Urged 10 Set Up
|ntegrafed Plan on
Social Hygiene Study

Washington's parents, clergy and
school teachers today shared the
burden of an indictment charging
them with responsibility for the
greatly increased numbers of di-
vorce. illegitimacy and venereal d.
sease" here.
Ray Everett, executive director
of the Washington Social Hygiene
Society, made the charge yesterday
before the Leaders Conference of
the District Congress OF Parents
and Teachers at the Adams School.
He called for an end to the "time
wasting fighting" among interested
groups to assure an integrated pro-
gram of sex and social hygiene in
struction from cradle to marriage" /"
adding that the increases in divorce,
illegitimacy and venereal disease
exist because children in their
formative years got the wrong slant
in their homes, schools and church.
es."
Calls for Long Term Advice.
Urging parents, clergy and teach
ers to work in harmony to give the
youngsters the necessary advice
Mr.. Everett declared that telling
child the so-called "facts of life
is not enough.
What he needs most is long
term advice in the home-honest
answers to honest questions-with
church and school contributing
scientific and religious guidance, !"
Mr.. Everett said.
Once there is an illegitimate child
or a case of venereal disease, he
pointed out, the only recourse is a
court or medical clinic, adding that
prevention rather than cure" is
in order.
He said there was "1ess excuse
than ever" for not taking advantage
of the "tools at hand" in the form
of scientific knowledge and an un-
inhibited social approach to the
various problems.
Mr.. Everett, who also Is State
chairman for the parent teacher
congress. offered the services of the
Social Hygiene Society to anyone
asking for it but stressed the i'm
portance of approaching any prob
lem from the standpoint that pre-
vention Is not only better but
cheaper than cure"
Sees Cause for Alarm.
Cause for alarm exists, he said,
In the fact that the District divorce
rate is up to one out of every three
or four marriages, the venereal dis
ease rate about SO per cent greater
than a year ago and the number Of
illegitimate births Considerably in
creased"
At an open forum discussion for
the Public Welfare Department OF
the congress earlier in the day, Mrs.
Charles McGogney, in charge of stu
dent aid. said there was need for
more donations of clothing to be
distributed through the Hayes
School.
Mrs. Florence Cornell, State
chairman, spoke briefly on the i'm
portance of inter-racial harmony to
world peace. She cited the fact
that children Of 81 different nation
alities work and play together at
