mr lditor jcorgctovvn should consider itself fortunate to have us the editor ol the loial nowupupci ont who liki youisolf ib always willing to deal frankly with muttons pertaining to the public interest t i wonder if you wjuld care to deal editorially with the matte l ol sex education in our educational by bkm in a recent sermon dealing with the increase in sexual crime und the consequent danger to our w oniln and gn lb 1 nugeatcd thut there is a great need for better ed ucation of our children in sux ttfti ters both in our schools and in oay homts und that dor school boardb should frankly face this need as you would naturally suppose one in my position would be the last to numrnizc the importance of teach ing corrupt morals but a knowledge of correct morals without a corres ponding knowledge vf scientific facts is only half knowledge indeed it is no morality at all which gow hand in hand with ignorance or which ib maintained by ignorace while sexual ignorance is only one cause of divorce it is a major factor in 1118 there was one div orce in canada for every 500 newly registered marriages in lj44 there was one divorce for eery 257 newly registered marriages in 1918 there were 1u divorces in ontario in 1944 there were 1243 the trend is unmistakeable sexual ig norance undoubtedly plays a part in that which threatens the basis of our national life the purpose of our educational system is to combat ignorance 1 think it would be in teresting uf have this matter dib cussed m your columns and to bear the reasons which may be advanced for not giving our children lristruc tion in the schools in this matter under proper and qualified instruc tors certainly nothing is truer than that ignorance is one of the greatest enemies of good morality wh it some people are
