=The New Training in Sex-education.=--The need to have the right sort of fathers as well as fit mothers requires a new training in lines of sex-education. One of the most perplexing of all educational problems is how to give the needed training in this line in the best and most effective way. In the admirable volume on _Sex-Education_ written by Professor Maurice A. Bigelow, of Teachers College, Columbia University, a list of eight reasons for sex-instruction is given which are here quoted by permission: 1. Many people, especially in youth, need hygienic knowledge concerning sexual processes as they affect personal health. 2. There is an alarming amount of the dangerous social diseases which are distributed chiefly by the sexual promiscuity or immorality of men. 3. The uncontrolled sexual passions of men have led to enormous development of organized and commercialized prostitution. 4. There are living to-day tens of thousands of unmarried mothers and illegitimate children, the result of the common irresponsibility of men and the ignorance of women. 5. There is need of more general following of a definite moral standard regarding sex-relationships. 6. There is a prevailing unwholesome attitude of mind concerning all sexual processes. 7. 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.
