Excerpt from The Education of the Young in Sex Hygiene: A Textbook for Parents and Teachers The first of these two mothers represents the last trace of the old regime. Its motto was I close my eyes to danger. I ignore its imminence. I do not want to see. The second mother has heard the cry oi the thousands of children who have been and are being denied the right of sight, of health, of life itself, and springs to their relief. She forms the type that faces and corrects infamous conditions. Being the mother of five daughters I wish to extend all encouragement! What a refreshing thing it is for the pioneers in this field. To realize that some of our women are awake and eager for the struggle toward a single standard of physical and moral health for their sons and daughters, even if only a few women and almost no men, as yet, are alive to the necessity.
