says Mr.. BlaisdelI. Were
teaching physiology. a little
biology and some common
sense.
Real sex education begins
when the moon Is full. the car
is parked on q lovers lane and
the radio Is turned down low.
What happens there depends
not on knowledge. but on the
IS tan dards and the code of
behavior that are brought to
that point in time"
Code Of Sexual Conduct
1t Is obvious, from the fig
ures on illegitimacy and vener-
cal disease, that the knowledge
and the standards brought to
the parked car are not very
wen developed. It takes only q
minimal knowledge of the hui
man reproductive system for a
girl to get pregnant or q boy to
get veneral disease.
In most societies, some high
ly developed tie chnique has
evolved for passing on to each
generation the basic informa-
ton about reproduction and
the uses Of the reproductive
faculties that are approved by
the society.
A code Of sexual con duct
tells not only what should and
should not be done, but helps
the male and the female to
find their own esta b lis h e d
places in society.
Five years ago, District Of
Columbia schools, alarmed by
the rising incidence Of venereal
disease and illegitimacy among
school children, and the grow
ing divorce rate, began a pro-
gram of sex education that has
since developed into q program
of personal and family living
that runs from kindergarten
through the 18th grade. This
program has been hailed as a
model by educators throughout
the Nation.
Controversial Subject
Because many children are
uncommunicative at home
about what they learn in
school-whether it's about sex
or geography-The Star visited
schools and talked to supervi-
sors, teachers and students to
find out how this sensitive
and often controversial
subject is being handled here.
Results of the program are
not yet measurable in statistics
on venereal disease or illegi-
timacy. But those who have de-
veloped the course are conf
dent that their work will bear
fruit as today's school children
marry and form happy, stable
families at least partly because
Of what they have learned In
school.
In subsequent articles, this
series will examine the Pro-
gram, telling how 1t works and
suggesting where 1t has sue
ceeded and where 1t has failed,
and how it compares with
courses offered in communities
surrounding Washington.
Tomorrow: Sex instruction Ia the
elementary schools.
