Book Description

Excerpt from A d104book of Sex Education: For Parents and Teachers "For the due discharge of parental functions, the proper guidance is to be found only in Science." - Herbert Spencer. "There is no creature more liable than man to be spoiled by bad training on the one hand, or to be improved by good training on the other; and if the present age has any good reason to hope, as we are inclined to think it has, that it contains within itself the germs of a higher development of the race than the earth has yet seen, such hope can grow only from the serious concern with which both parents and teachers shall bring themselves into a reverential attitude before the great vital forces of Nature, physical and moral." - Prof. John Stuart Blackie. "It may be at last that sexual love - that tired angel who through the ages has presided over the march of humanity, with distraught eyes, and feather-shafts broken, and wings drabbled in the mires of lust and greed, and golden locks caked over with the dust of injustice and oppression - till those looking at him have sometimes cried in terror, 'He is the Evil and not the Good of life, ' and have sought, if it were not possible, to exterminate him - shall yet, at last, bathed from the mire and dust of ages in the streams of friendship and freedom, leap upwards, with white wings spread, resplendent in the sunshine of a distant future - the essentially Good and Beautiful of human existence." - Olive Schreiner.
