The question is an important one, for investigation has proven that ninety r cent, of children receive this in- 'ormation at a tender age from thor- oughly improper _sources. The child should be repeatedly impressed with the fact that the source of informa- tion 'on such matters should be the father or mother, not friends or com- pani So training in chivalry and idealism, a proper reverent atti- tude towards sex and the great pur- poses of nature, thorough traniag for marriage its responsibilities-- these "constitute a. foundation upon which parents can build the future happiness of their children.

Careful supervision of and attention to the heeds of normal children will prevent much of the trouble. Normal recreation, good books and proper companions are all real preventive measures.
