The Family and it’s Members

CHAPTER XIV
27/34

There is very general misunderstanding of sexual life as related to healthy and happy marriage.
8.

There is need of eugenic responsibility for sexual actions that concern future generations.
To the propositions thus clearly stated all thoughtful students of family needs in education will give assent.

This is not the place for specific treatment of prostitution and its effect upon the home, nor is it the place for a detailed statement of methods of sex-education and of social hygiene now advocated and beginning to show encouraging results in use.

The simple statement must be made that if, as Spencer has said, one test of education is its ability to make men good husbands and fathers, the element of sex-education must not be omitted from the educative process.

How or where the necessary information and stimulus to truly social conduct may or should be given is matter for another statement.
=Heroes Held Up for Admiration.=--One point, usually wholly ignored, must have some mention here, and that is the effect upon the minds of children and youth of types of social order that are taken for granted as proper and right in the setting of heroes and even of heroines commended to their example.
