ABSTRACT
Society is changed through the change of individuals and the surrender of all fanaticisms. For years and years we have been accustomed to interpret history in terms of movements, systems, laws —of anything, in short, but people or ourselves. There is only one cure for society and the world. It is to acknowledge that the trouble lies with individuals. Wordsworth has taught us the truth that the child is father to the man. Education is other than this only when it is the development of personality unlimited by any preconceptions. Sex is, indeed, unimportant, something that cannot be regarded as substantial or causative. The ramifications of sex impurity and the far-reaching effects of sex traumata constitute a subject which psychology has as yet scarcely touched in spite of all the work that has been done. Sex, as the instrument of fertility, is for some species a weapon, and the sole weapon, in the struggle for existence.
