responsibility of parents Speaking of the problem of moral laxity among young people in an address in the Theosophical Hall, Mr Geoffrey Hodson said the responsibility rested upon the adults, and especially upon parents, who should carefully train and prepare themselves for tile task of guiding their children in moral responsibility. Sex instruction should be an individual and a private matter. Children should be taught that the progress and happiness of mankind depended upon every single human being.
