SEX PROBLEMS.
NEED FOR FRANKNESS
LONDON, Nov. 15, —"The progress of social welfare was never.moFe rapid than in the last century. ‘Love thy neighbor’ is now becoming the wide ‘Love mankind. ’ Nevertheless, there lire still groups of people in our midst representing stagnant pools of- barbarism, although the pools are fewer and decreasing,'’ Air Arthur Newsliolnic, late Chief Medical Officer to the Local Government Board, told the British Social Hygiene Council. "Despite sexual laxity in many circles, morality lias undoubtedly improved. marvellously,” he went, on, "but one of-(lie modern problems is to make the public regard an act now believed venial in man and inlamous in woman, equally inlamous in both. I believe the experiences of men ami women "about town” detailed in pruiriant novels are inconsistent with the experience of the mass ol the people. Never was greater frankness needed in the discussion of sexual problems.”
