Excerpt from A Plea for the Younger Generation an Intimate Talk on the Vital Question, of Telling the Truth to Children: From an Altogether Human and Utterly Unscientific Point of View
He laid an affectionate hand upon his dog's expectant head, blew out the candles, fastened up for the night and went to bed, thanking God for all His mercy, for youth and eagerness and dreams, and above all for his ability to send one brother to Oxford and the other to his art school. There did not seem to be even a little cloud out of the sea upon the horizon of either of them. The one was honest, healthy, fearless, and hardworking, the other high strung, temperamental and alight with the fire of genius but just as honest and apparently as healthy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the perceived decline of morals in the early twentieth century and how this decline particularly affected the younger generation. The author, speaking as a father figure, argues for a shift in the way children are taught about sex so that truth, honesty, and an understanding of duty and responsibility are at the core of their understanding and development. This book further presents a critique of popular eugenicist philosophy and the author makes a compelling case for the importance of instilling faith in the younger generation, particularly in light of the increasing prevalence of venereal diseases and the social ills of the day.
