ns? I PUBLI5AE:D BYTMEL nOR-TM CAieOUhA 5TATL BQAI^D ^MLALTM l|[g. Vol. XXXIV SEPTEMBER, 1918 No. 3 EDITORIAL BREAKING SILENCE ON THE SEX QUESTION The Council of National Defense and the War Department have asked the North Carolina State Board of Health to break our long silence on the sex problem. This official request of the country is sufficient; we heed. Ever since our first parents realized their nakedness and modesty was born, the sex problem has been wrapt in silence. With both the spoken and written word concerning this problem restricted to almost prohibition, ignorance has naturally abounded, and the offspring of ignorance, disease and death, have had a gala time in this large field of public health. But the world moves, things and conditions change, and war accentuates changes. And so conditions arising out of the war or, more truly speaking, revealed by the war, demand that the long maintained silence on the sex problem be broken; that the light of knowledge, through plain and, let us hope and we believe, inoffensive words, be permitted to dispel the miasma of ignorance. This Bulletin discusses on page G4 to page 71 the first phase, and by far the most important phase, of the sex problem. The subject is one that should receive an attentive hearing from parents, teachers, and ministers. Parents should understand the subject of sex hygiene in order that they may see to it that the proper information reaches their children at the right age and in the right way. Teachers should understand the subject of sex hygiene in order that they may check the failure of parents to properly inform their children. To the teacher who will carefully read the article referred to, we feel safe in laying down the challenge that he or she cannot point out any branch of knowledge taught in our schools that is of greater importance than a knowledge of the laws of sex and their relation to development. Ministers should understand this subject on account of its fundamental bearing on character. It is God's law that the physical (we have a right to assume the perfect physical), should condition inspiration and become the means of spiritual life. If ministers would realize this close relation between physical development and moral and spiritual values, they would be in a position to use more of the ounce of prevention in dealing with sin, and would need far fewer pounds of energy in dealing with its grosser effects. W. S. R. MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS We are publishing on another page of the Bulletin this month a review of what has been accomplished under the law enacted by the General Assembly of 1917, requiring a state-wide inspection of all public school children every three years. The work has been a failure in a few
