The Parent's Guide in Sex Problems
By Editor
"The Parent's Guide in Sex Problems," by B. J. Kendall, M.D. Published by the author, Geneva, Ill. Cloth. Price $1.50. The topic of this book is one of the most important, and many things have been written on the subject treated. Much of what has been written has been good, but a great deal of it has been quackish and calculated to do more harm than benefit. Hence in reviewing a book of this kind we always take pains to read it very carefully before saying anything about it. And after careful reading of the select little volume, we do not hesitate to say that it is one among the very best books that we have ever seen on sex problems. And certainly any parent will readily say that there is no problem with which we have to deal in these times that is any more difficult to handle. We would heartily commend this book for the following reasons: 1. It is written in the spirit of the true refinement and elegance of culture that is found in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The author is evidently a man of experience in the things of the pure Teacher of Nazareth. 2. It is the fruitage of evident skill as a physician, and is based upon a wide practical experience in helping fathers and mothers on the subject-matter of the book. 3. Altho the book treats what is regarded as the most delicate subject with which parents have to deal, yet, as would be expected from what we have said in reasons 1 and 2, it is done in such a way that the reader can not help sensing an uplifting and refining influence as he peruses its pages. No one need hesitate to place it in the hands of any boy or girl of a suitable age, and all fathers and mothers should have it to help them in teaching their children before they are old enough to read the book for themselves. Indeed, one of the most helpful things about it is the instruction it gives to men and women before they enter the sacred obligation of becoming fathers and mothers.
