Manger, C: Simple Truth -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from The Simple Truth: For Boys of Twelve and Over This little volume, with its well-considered and carefully presented information about a subject about which so little that is correct is generally known, has a larger field than is indicated in the author's touching preface. It should appeal with special force to parents and to all who are entrusted with that most sacred of human charges, the care and training of the young. The body is not a thing to be ashamed of, nor are any of its organs or functions, when rightly understood, so unworthy as to be looked upon with contempt. Yet, even in the most enlightened homes, boys and girls are growing up with utter lack of knowledge which would conduce both to their safety and happiness. Vice and suffering are the inevitable harvest. A child can not be expected to control what it does not understand. Much is heard of the duty of child to parent, but comparatively little of the duty of parent to child, particularly in connection with the subjects herein discussed.
