Libert SaJem, Oreoii Phone 4311 apart Mrs. Massev told the parents. "The subject should be treated natur ally In the course of other stu dies. The film is designed only as a teaching aid; not as an end in itself." After seeing the film, .7 per cent of the local group Indicated they wanted their children to see it sometime during weir scnooi career; 58 per cent felt the film should be shown to boys and girls at the same time (23.8 per cent wanted separate classes); and 03.S per cent thought the beginning of adolescence a good time to snow the film. The importance of well - pre pared teachers was stressed when 98.7 per cent of the audience said the success of the film would de pend largely upon the competence of the person using it as a teaching aid. Bee Danger Inasmuch as this film does not stress the moral side of sex, 4.9 per cent thought it would be dan gerous to show in school, but their opinion was overwhelmed by 84.7 per cent who indicated the moral question does not enter the picture here. Ten per cent were undecid ed on this question but on most other questions only a very minor per cent expressed no opinion or weren't sure what they thought. Some people contradicted them selves, too. In an opinion poll taken before the film was shown, the majority showed their viewpoints toward the over-all question of sex ed ucation for youngsters were lib eral and enlightened. They believe that teachers should not shy away from the subject of human mat ing and reproduction when dis cussing the importance of the fam ily in our society, that the basic facts of sex should be taught In school to students before adoles cense, and that sex education should not be confined to personal discussions between parent and child or between doctors or min isters and children. Opponents Scarce This majority often by a wide margin agreed that parents should have children help prepare for the arrival of a new baby, us ing this event to teach facts about human reproduction. Only 8.S per cent thought chil dren should be given no sex edu cation in schools and 2.5 per cent believe teachers should avoid the subject of sex entirely. As a cross section of the local populace, this group of 125 was probably as varied as possible in a voluntary meeting of this sort. Their one common denominator was an Interest in children and the schools. They Included farmers, merch ants, teachers, college professors, ministers and many others Mar ried persons totaled 94.4 pei cent of the audience. Of the women 57 per cent were housewives. There were three persons under 70 years old and 17 over 50; the maority were in the parent - teacher age group 34 per cent between 20 and 30, 40 per cent between tl and 50. The large majority were Protestants representing at least a dozen church denominations; Catholics comprised 9 per cent, a few professed no faith.
