Sociologist Errs About Sex Truths Fifteen Minutes Declared Insufficient to Get Heal Knowledge. BV f.RITTA PALMER liar* nl Writer N r EW YORK. July 11.—" All that yoi have to know about sex is s ex technique, and that can be learned in fifteen minutes.”—Dr. Ernest R. Groves. Dr. Groves is professor of sncioloc’ of the University of North C -.rokna and a delegate to the second session of

"■ ‘ 51

the conference on education for marriage, at Teachers' College, Columbia university. But we still disagree with him. In spite of all his PhD and academic honors Dr. Groves has never had the rather common experience of being a little girl and being brought up according to the

Miss Palmer

very nicest standards of female education. He is arguing. therefore, from a rather different point of view than that of the brides to whom his remarks are in part addressed. The average American young woman. Dr. Groves, does not start from scratch, with an open mind on the subject of sex or with impulses as natural and ready for development as if she were a resident of Tahiti. She reaches the altar, in a shockingly high percentage of cases, with ideas of sex that have been warped by misinformation gained when she was 8 or 10. Such ideas are not easily shaken off. Nor is it from her nauehtiermindcd little playmates that the school child gets her most deleterious ideas of sex. These whispered scraps of information indeed are often several shades closer to the truth than the embarrassed and nice-nice version offered by her parents. Children, whatever else you may have against them, are apt to be realists. False Ideas Imparted A girl who has be*>n instructed that the marital relationship is something of an affront to her—a girl who has been led to believe that men are brutes but women must put up with it—that girl, dear professor, is not going to abandon her ideas in fifteen minutes and settle down to a normal and happy marriage. If parents let the subject of sex quite alone perhaps the teachers could do so, too. But parents who build up inhibitions and false ideas of modpsty in their daughters make it of the gravest importance that somebody should take the cirls aside and disabuse their minds before their wedding day. And if the schools dedicated to marriage preparation fail to do so who will? Truth Should Be Told Children have a right to be told as much about sex as interests them at the time—and to be told the truth as easually as you would explain about Saturn or Mars if they showed a groping interest in astronomv. To force the subject upon them is surely an error, but so is turning their questions aside with an evasive answer or a story which is patent notrsense. For in either rase you are making the whole subject seem a monstrous one to a girl who may some day be quite unable to readjust her views. Fifteen minutes of sex instruction nneht be ample for a naked little savage. Fifteen hours of lectures will hardly be sufficient to correct the unhappy misconceptions the parents’ prudery inflicts on the young girl of today.

A Woman's Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON NO doubt Senator Borah voiced the sentiment of millions when he declaimed that, while we must bv. prepared for anything these days in either moral or financial fields, the repudiation of international debts seems incredible. Upon sober second thought, however, it should not appear al-

together strange. In a world where the nations prepare for mass murder it is scarcely reasonable t o hope for a high sense of financial honor. Indeed. it seems incredible for us to look for anything but repudiation. Let us ask

Ik •* jgflp i: i’jfyA

Mrs. Ferguson

ourselves but one question. Is a deliberate refusal to repay borrowed money any more heinous a crime than deliberate preparation to slaughter millions of men? Is a dead beat worse than a killer? One usually doesn't anticipate honorable or noble behavior from murders, and by what other name shall we designate mankind so long as these hideous international conflicts continue? Our Senator Borah tells us that never before has there been such a repudiation of honorable debts. Well, neither have we ever before had such a general slaughter of honorable men. The former is a natural result of the latter. ' For my part, though we suffer great financial losses. I hope F.urope does not repay her money debt to us. No sane man lends to one who has fleeced him nor rushes to the financial rescue of a dead beat. So it may be we shall be saved for a while from further participation in Europe's destructive pastime.
