Spurgeon English at the second lecture of the Community Forum Series in Schwab Auditorium last night. Dr. English spoke on the Kinsey Report. “A large section of the people who have never stopped to think about sexual behavior must do so and try to absorb it in what is good to themselves. The an swer is not dependent on a few kids engaging in it, it is depend ent on what responsible people are going to do about it. What are we as parents going to do? Need for Education “Dr. Kinsey has shown us that w'e do have a job to do. But it is not being taken- care of in the homes. ... It is the job of the home to give the child sex edu cation. I don’t know at what age, but it should be given because some education is better than no education at all,” said Dr. Eng lish. Quoting figures from the Kin sey Report, Dr. English showed the differences that exist in sex ual relations as a result of the differences in education. Offers Suggestions The speaker then offered five suggestions which he thought might help to ease this problem. They were (1) educate the child in a wholesome setting so that he would not have to resort to experimentations that might prove dangerous; (2) teach the child ideals of discipline and the value of postponement of sexual relations; (3) make life richer in wholesome pleasures so that he won’t use sex to relieve emo tional yearnings; (4) treat this force kindly; (5) foster earlier marriage and parenthood. Dr. English was introduced by Dr. Clifford Adams of the psy chology department who served as chairman of the lecture and discussion which followed. A cof fee hour followed at the Hotel State College.
