THE TEACHING OF SEX
Sir,-I listened with great interest to the three speakers in "Sunday Forum." As a teacher, mother, and grandmother, I ought to have views on "The Teaching of Sex." I consider that ignorance is the mother of misery, and suppression of this. essential knowledge is unfair to the adolescent boy or girl, But I cannot agree that the subject should be taught by a school teacher. It is a matter for the Department of Public Health. Four or five talks could be given during the last term at school by a woman doctor to girls, and by a man doctor to boys. No one else can explain the matter so well or so impersonally, and the boys and girls leaving school would realise that this is an essential part of their education, The New Zealand Broadcasting Service have done well in having an open discussion on this subject.
