Modern MARRIAGE
Fathers Are Still Less Concerned
In Sex Education of Children
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Just how stupid and useless or
harmful is the average father,
when it comes to sex education OF
his children? Mr.. T. is indignant.
"I've been looking over several
popular books on sex education
for parents" he reports. "They
all make the father seem q
chump. The mother has a harder
job trying to drag her husband
along in this enterprise than she
does trying to educate her chill
dren. You might say she sue
ceeds In educating them-in this
respect-in spite Of him!
Maybe it's just a coincidence
that all the books I mention were
written by women. I wish you'd
publish the truth about this. The
average father nowadays is just
as intelligent, just as effective as
the average mother in helping
the children from early years to
prepare for future marriage Sue
cessfully."

Having TOUR sons OF my own,
I'm certainly not prejudiced
against fathers. But I'm afraid /
can't take quite as favorable 4
view Of our behavior ss you do.
Mr.. T.
Various surveys Of high school
and college students have shown
that sex education was derived
primarily from mother two or
three times as often as father.
That is partly inevitable, because
mother is with the children q
great deal more.
Moreover. many Of these surveys
relate to homes 10 or 20 years
ago. Mothers and fathers have
both improved since then. Fa-
theirs are even doing better than
a few years ago.
One evidence of this is offered
by the returns from the Home
Study Course in Sex Education,
prepared for parents by the we'll

First come, first served is very

Inviting Friends in Mourning
Dear Mrs. Post: I am planning
to give some parties to repay my
obligations. There are certain
ones In mourning and I don't
know what I'm supposed to do
about inviting these people. I
doubt that they would come to
large parties but, at the same
time, I don't want to run the risk
Of hurting them by not inviting
them.
Answer: The only thing you
can do is to send them either
flowers or candy as an assurance
Of your thought of them. since
you can't possibly invite those In
mourning to come to a party OF
any size.
