To each of us there has come or will come a time when our child has put ■ or will put to us the question— | “Mother, where did the baby come I from?” How is the question to be I answered? There is, thank Clod, no shame-fac edness in the child; lie asks the question simply, as he might ask: — “Mother, where does tin1 rain come from?” excepting as simple a reply, and with us rests tin* grave responsi bility of answering him rightly. It seems to me a fundamental nec essity that in order to present the subject beautifully to our child, we must think beautifully of it ourselves. We must place the sex relation on the high ethical level where it be longs or we must be honst and log ical and openly avow ourselves ath eists and inconoclasts. If we do not look at the sex relation purely our selves, how can we expect our child ren to do so? The following idea is often urged by mothers:—"But 1 do not want my children to hear of such things, 1 want them to be innocent.” Of course ! you do, deai mother. If this were the question, whether our children should be told of these things, or allowed to remain in ig norance of them, there would be no need of discussion. Wo should all most probably elect that they renrain ignorant until they are of mature age, but, unfortunately, this is not the question. Any woman who lias any knowledge of school life, of the pre cocity of the children of the present day, of the sexual unrest that con stitutes one of the greatest dangers of a great city, knows that there is no doubt that our child must sooner or later, sometimes at a vc'ry early age, learn of sex matters from his companions, if he does not learn them elsewhere. Few mothers have any conception to what extent these subjects are discussed by children and at what an early age. Your little ten-year old son goes to school to-day ignor ant of any explanation of the coming of his baby sister except that of the stork, or the doctor’s medicine chest, perhaps; he comes home with a very different idea that makes him in his heart despise his parents, that makes him ashamed and horrified, that re mains with its vulgar terms and its alarming suggestiveness to mar the future serenity of his young soul. It is not a question as to whether lie shall learn of these things or not; it is a question of how lie shall learn them Shall lie be made acquainted with the great law of reproduction through the coarse words of a servant! or the vicious imaginings of a morbid | school fellow, or shall he be told of them reverently, beautifully, by the lips of his mother who bore him? Barly images do not leave the mind of a child. An ugly word, an impure picture, an obscene act, will remain with all its horrid suggestion, not on ly throughout his boyhood but through all his manhood and maturity. The lad may struggle hard to be pure, but it will be a terrible fight. God and llis angels alone know what our boys, whom we would give our lives for, have to contend against through the years of adolescence; if there be aught that we can do, as mothers, to help, to avert, to streng then, will we not do it gladly?—The Light' Chapman Sells Out.
