Excerpt from Biology of Sex for Parents and Teachers When those meet who have given much thought to the question of the need of proper sex instruction for our children, there is little time taken in arguing that such instruction is desirable or necessary at the hands of parents and teachers. The questions which are now being considered by teachers are rather these: - What subjects should be included in this instruction? In what order should they come? Where should the emphasis be put? At what period in the child's life should each topic be presented for best results? Who should do the teaching, and under what circumstances? In a word, How and in what spirit? In every discussion of the matter, after pointing out what may be done in college and in high school, or even in the grades, by teachers properly equipped with knowledge, earnestness, and insight, the attention is always brought back to the fact that all this comes too late, if nothing has been done before. Before any outside teacher can come to the help of the child, important preparatory work must be done by the parents in the earliest years. If sex instruction is to amount to anything worth while, it must begin, and all its foundations be laid, in the home. Furthermore, at every stage in the life of the youth efficient parents should have a closeness of approach which no one else can gain, and should supplement the work of others at every step. Otherwise they are failing in parenthood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
