Excerpt from The Physiology of Sex: For Parents and Their Children The outlook is a dark one from many points of view from the very nature of things, from the perversion of God given feelings and laws. Then isms New. Weak and negligent in this matter more Mamtmflwelse pertaining to the of humanity. Let the indi vidual boy and his mot or take a hand to see what may be done. Of the many things tried, one field remains untouched - that of education. Where are the laws of sex taught to the children and youth of this country? In isolated cases and ups, yes. But is there one si 0 text book on the subject? The school has left it to t e home, the home has left it to the street, and the street feeds the Humane Society, the Juvenile Court, the Critter den Home, and the Refuges. It is clearly time to right about-face and deal candidly with ourselves and others. What do we need? Self consciousness, and prudery, and profanation? No, we need knowledge and modesty, which is always the si and safe guard of a mystery. We would not brush t e bloom from the rose, but we would prevent the blight on the rose. We would keep the bloom of knowledge and remove the bli ht of ignorance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
