SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 aA NDS -------------------------------- Nl SEX KNOWLEDGE A GREAT That many crimes are committed under cover of darkness is a fact that cannot be gainsaid. Similiarly, many evils have existed and have spread because of the veil of dark- nessa which has shrouded all mat- ters pertaining to sex. A handful of social workers were the only people, with rare exceptions, who realized the need of sex education a decade or two ago. Their voice for reforms toward this end was drowned amid the cries of the prudish, horror- stricken "hush, hush brigade." The war, with its unprecedented drain on manpower, revealed conditions, not only in Canada, but in all the warring nations, which aroused pub- lic opinion, until today there is an ever-growing demand for proper sex instruetion of the boys and girls of the country. Dr. Oswald C. J. Withrow, of To- ronto, 'dwelt on the need for such instruction of the children when he addressed on audience in the Re- gent Theatre under the auspieies of the Home and School Clubs on Wednesday. . Dr. Withrow, together with other medical men and women and social workers, are blazing a new trail along educational lines, and they are dolng it with the as- sistance of both. Federal and Pro- vincial Governments. Why? Be- cause even the governments of the country, which are usually said to move slowly, recognize the need of adopting some other method than that which has existed as long as most of us can remem wr, to combat social evils which have been under- mining the very life of the nation. Dr. Withrow, in his address, plac- ed responsibility for educating chil- dren in sex matters upon the par- ents. As he said, mothers and fath- ers in the past have dismissed ques- tions from their children pertaining to half truths, sex with fons in the parents losing the fid of their children, and that is some- thing ro thinking mother or father cares to contemplate. . One of the greatest needs of today --and events chronicled in the po- lice court reports in Toronto and other large cities emphasize it--is sex education. EDITORIAL COMMENT Altogether again tdmerrow--go to church, 1t: is more blessed to give than it is to Degret. There are more ways than one for a woman to have her own way.

"Face the world like a man and you'll find, yourself with a future instead of a past." But fear weighed heavily on Rob- ert's heart -- not fear of prisons or the law. There were worse things than that - - such as the look of pain in the eyes of one you loved should they learn of your disgrace. Robert's motherless daughter was a baby when circumstantial evidence sent him, innocent of the charge, to prison. She was brought up in ig- norance of his shame, and Mary's lov. ing little heart yearned for the time when the father who wrote her such wonderful letters would come home to her.

We want this club to be a'eredit to the young men of St. George's and to the town of Oshawa. Mr. Smithers asked the boys to make "Where Duty Calls" their motto, and to keep through the year before them the word "duty." It meant a great deal to do the duty which lay mear- est, and which one knew to be a duty; the second duty would then become clearer. "Remember that is to do the duty which lies nearest us," said. the speaker. "and mot hunt after grand. far-fetched ones for ourselves, for God never imposes a duty upon us without giving us Mr. Smithers asked the boys further to do their duty in the state of life to which it has pleased God to call them. The path of duty was by no meaps an easy one. Hardships would he met with, likewise troubles and temptation. Unseen and unkonwn dangers would cross their daily paths. "Does mot the word duty sum up the whole of our Christianity?" Mr. Smithers asked, "for if we do our duty to Almighty God first and then to our neighbor, what 'more does God ex- pect, for on these two command- ments are all the others founded." Duty was sacrifice, pleasure and the will of God, and if we did our duty we would certainly find pleasure and happiness, joy and comfort in this life, and a great reward here- after, ior duty had its own reward. At the close of Mr. Smither's ad- dress it was proposed, seconded and catried that the motto " Where Duty Calls," be adopted by the club. Five new members were added to the club membership: William Gib- bie, Teddy Colvin, George Bolston Getale Montgomery, George Willatt. St. George's Club team for he Iinter-Sunday School ciation was formed, Smith Cornwall as assistant imstructor to Mr. Miller for the phfsical culture class. Following the addresses, were played.
