    The courts of our country have wisely and generously sanc¬ tioned rational sex education. In the Stopes case (United States District Court) Federal Judge John M. Woolsey stated: “The book before me here has as its whole thesis the strengthening of the centripetal forces in marriage, and instead of being inhos¬ pitably received, it should, I think, be welcomed within our bor¬ ders.” In the Dennett case (United States Circuit Court of Appeals) Federal Judge Augustus N. Fland found occasion to declare: “The old theory that information about sex matters should be left to chance has greatly changed. ... It may reasonably be thought that accurate information, rather than mystery and curi¬ osity, is better in the long run.”
