New Sex Courses

"Sex education is absolutely
necessary for every child. 1t
always has been my opinion
that we should teach it," said
Lee Bean. a member of the
school board.
II don't see how you can
teach health or biology without
teaching the relationships be-
tween men and women. You
just leave out one of the most
important areas of living" ar
gued Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell,
another school board member.
"I am 100 per cent for sex
education, Our children should
be allowed to learn in a healthy
and proper way about this vital
part of their lives" declared
County Board chairman Leo
UrbanSke.
"Only through an excess Of
prudery or ignorance would the
opportunity for q sound sex
education be denied our chill
dren." said Herbert Brown. a
member of the County Board.
THE right kind Of knowledge
Of sex is at least as important
to our children as knowledge Of
mathematics or foreign Ian
guages," Thomas Richards,
member of the County Board,
asserted.
Boys especially are at a loss,
DR.. Hughes said.
"It is a rare man who can
talk honestly and openly with
his son the way some modern
mothers can with their daugh-
ters. But even many mothers
can't answer sex questions be-
cause they haven't had the
proper education themselves. I"
She predicted that no matter
how well it is planned, sex edu-
cation in schools cannot sue
ceed unless it is backed by a
majority Of the community.
The 1854 law passed by the
General Assembly specified that
no sex instruction may be Of
fered in schools without the
expressed and written approval
of the State Board of Educa-
ton.
Local authorities said they
are uncertain whether they
could obtain such approval
should they decide to seek it.
Sex education has been a
part of the curriculum in two
metropolitan school systems
for several years. In the Dis
trict and in Montgomery
County courses are offered in
junior and senior high school.
The subject is not a part of
the curriculum in either Alex
andria or Fairfax County, how

Arlington schools, whic h
dropped sex education after a
controversy seven years ago,
should undertake a thorough
program on the subject once
more, a County health director
declared yesterday.
DR.. Marjorie Hughes asserted
that although children need to
be told the facts of family life,
their ideas Of sex are being
dirtied by "old wives tales and
back-country superstitions."
The public schools should
intervene, she contended in an
interview, because many par
entS are too embarrassed or
ignorant to explain sex to their
children.
DIR. Hughes Stand
1T is astonishing how gross
is the misinformation they are
getting from each other. 1t
always is tinged with vulgarity,
with an aura Of the unfavor-
able," said DR.. Hughes, an at
tractive 35-year-old mother of
five who has been school health
director since 1856.
Although DR.. Hughes state
mentS could stir a controversy
similar to the one which caused
an uproar in 1854, nine of the
10 county and school board
member indorsed her proposals.
Arlington abandoned sex
education in 1854 after a dis
pute which eliminated when
some parents took their pro-
tests to Richmond and showed
the General Assembly films
which were being used in
county schools.
The legislators responded by
enacting a law which some
educators feel has made it
difficult for any Virginia pub
lie school to tell students any
thing about sex or about some
phases of hygiene.
One of the leaders in the
movement to end sex education
was Robert Peck, who then was
a member of the County Board
and who now serves on the
School Board. He was out of
town yesterday and unavail-
able for comment.
Restoration Backed
However, his colleagues Wig
orouSly advocated restoration Of
sex education, when asked to
comment on DR.. Hughes state
ment.
81 feel very strongly that this
should be part of the curricu-
lum," said School Board Chair
man Barnard JOY.

What brought Miss Adams to
the attention of the State De-

made on the President of Ghana,
Kwame Nkrumah. A half hour
before she was to play at his
residence she learned that his
favorite piece was Lead Kindly
Light" whereupon she rushed
over to a church, found hymn
book, memorized the hymn, and
used it for an encore"
A happy climax to this two
month trip was when the United

ded to pay her expenses and call
ed her to Washington on July 20,
1861, to receive the official
