Sex Education : A Guide for Parents, Teachers and Youth

Leaders. By Cyril Bibby. (Macmillan. 7s. 6d.) THIS is an extremely sensible, honest and enlightened book, and it should prove invaluable to all those for whom if is intended, as it is thoroughly sound scientifically and aesthetically. Indeed, there are few people who could not benefit by its reading since there has been very little written on this difficult subject so entirely free fronj falsity, sentimentality or some form of religious or anti-religious fanaticism. Mr. Bibby has an excellent prose style, totally devoid of innuendo, vague paraphrase, or circumlocution. He always uses the right and proper words straightforwardly without self-conscious- ness. It is a book that could be put into the hands of any young person with complete confidence, for its style and contents are both impeccable.
