SEX INSTRUCTION. KNOWLEDGE MEANS

The Rev. the Hon.' E Lyttelton, late heddmaster of Eton College, gave evid ence on December 2nd before the Birth Rate Commission of the National Concl of Public Marili. at Rhondda House, whea Dr. C. J. Bond, nember of the Medical Research Council, presided in the absence of the president, the Bishop of Birmingham.
The question of the instruction of adolescents was dealt with by witnesses, itl and Dr. Lyttelton was asumined length on bis experiences with the pubire school boy. In reply to the chairman, he said the question of home training in England in regard to special elns es of boys who went to the public school was Par- largely a matter of temperament, ents did not recognise that what they had to do with each single child born was that they must change the child's [view of hie," to point out that he had been born into something higher and totally different.
Dr. Bond in regard to the special problems the sex outlook of the boy, would you trace that wholly or chiefly to a religious appeal, or would you add anything from the point of view ui racial conscience 1
Dr. Lyttelton: I think that the relig ious appeal must be at the back of everything. The boy requires in- struction in this matter most un- of nga way questionably, "not only keeping him from trouble, but beenuse he cannot otherwise get a truc view of nature, and natural law, and his relation to God is imperfectly conceived of. I do waht to make it very" plan that it is matter of ralightening the bay when ha has a right to be enlightened."

As to the age at which boys should recisive their first instruction, Dr. Lytsel tor thought that it should be at the age of 9 years. Then he should be perfectly able to understand the facts of mater nity. More, however, ought to be said later, as the boy required to be told about paternity, and that he thought was the more important of the two. The age for that shovd be about 12 or 13 assuming that the boy had not heard anything wrong from companions," and in modern préparatory schools one could be certain of that as npw-a-days it was most as- tonisling bow cute-minded the boys were at those schools. The unfortunate part about it was that a great many fathers could not tell the boys properly, and for the benefit of those parents who shrank from such an ordeal, he recom mended that they should obtain certain pamphlets from the White Cross League | which were published as a result of a conference called many years ago by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He contended that in regard to the elder boys there had been a great deal of seandulous neg- lect on the part of the headmasters, and he had inade its practice when boy's were leaving school to into life of taking them in groups and pointing out the dangers they were likely to meet. As) a result of his experience, he believed that the right motive to appeal to was simply reverence for the boy's own nature and for his parents. Without saying much, they could connect the matter with parenthood, and the boy would learn his relation to his own father and mother, and at once the matter assumed a certain sanctity. In conclusion, Dr. Lyttelton said it was an important fact, which had never been denied that the greatest mep in our own national history came from the country parsonages and halle: "That was so up to the year 1850, and the great question for people, who were looking into these matters to ascertain, was what was the difference between those homes had the other homes at that time.

Miss Salina Dix, repreenting the National Union of Teachers, gave facts in regard to her experience in girls' schools. The conversion of parents to the opinion that knowledge meant pro- tection and health would, she said, help to break down the traditions which had hindered mental and physical soundnem. The co-operation of parents and touchers was a great gain, and among the school gatherings of parents with teachers not one voice had condemned what must be regarded by the parents as a somewhat Surprising departure-from-the-old-ways. She held the opinion that the training course of both men and women teachers, elementary or secondary, should include instruction in hunian physiology and sex, hygiene, that they might deal with these as with other subjects, without the self- conscious altitude that hindered in the teacher and in the child the exact phase it was hoped to assist. The crawling of whole families into one or two rooms wie ndawerable for much low street behaviours. which tended to immorality. The full operation of the Education Act would be a masterial help in the protection of girls, as they would be longer under the infuence and, supervision of women fea chers whom they regarded with great" re speed and esteem. In her many capac ides as teacher, science lecture?, chair mån, and menĺber of many commißiges do] idg social work among children, women, and girls, she had found the need for ich work as the Birth Rate Commis sion was striving to accomplish.
