One of the most encouraging aspects of this movement is to witness the rise of a new generation of educators and leaders of opinion. ( College professors used to be notorious for their ignorance concerning life or anything outside their own specialty. They were hard-shelled reactionaries concerning the vital problems of humanity.) It is my honor now to introduce a fine representative of the new educator, a man who is courageous in his outspoken attitude concerning the fundamental ethical moral necessity for education in Birth Control--Dr. Frank Hankins
