Principles of Sex Education: A Moderate View

St. Louis, Missouri: Francis L. Filas, S.J., 1961. Very good to near-fine. A little wear to wrappers.. A guide to sex education for parents, penned by a Jesuit Priest. Surprisingly advocates for open and honest conversation-- that is, within the boundaries of the home. Emphasizes the importance of sex education in private rather than at school or in other venues, and classifies it as a "character development" subject for private discussion. Highlights, of course, the importance of intertwining sex with religion, and how "The plan of God underlies all proper sex education", making the two inextricable from each other. States that sex acts outside of marriage are "evil" and have "no meaning". An interesting mixture of conservative and moderate values. Fourth printing, first printed in the Chicago tribune. Single vol. (6" by 3.25"), pp. 16, in original illus. brown, gray, black and white wrps. "The Queen’s Work was founded by Jesuits of the Missouri Province, specifically at the bequest of Jesuit General Father, Francis Xavier Wernz, and the Missouri Province leadership in the persons of Alexander J. Burrowes and Edward Garesche, to provide 'a journal of national character "which would '[publish] articles of interest to all Catholics." (jesuitarchives.org).
