were one hundred and one present by

Very Gratifying.
It is very gratifying to know that
the people throughout the country
are beginning to appreciate the im
portance of having proper instructions
on sex life. Heretofore it lias been
considered improper to discuss this
matter in public, and a certain false
modesty has kent people from speak
ing openly. W''iy should the young
people not be in formed on the urns'
vital and important functions of their
life? The people of 'Albany are cer
tainly to be con ura I u la ted upon the
