Excerpt from Graham's Lectures on Chastity: Specially Intended for the Serious Consideration of Young Men and Parents With Preface to the English Edition The Rev. E. M. P. Wells, who has distinguished himself, perhaps, more than any other gentleman in New England, by his successful management of boys of every description, assures me that he finds no dim culty in bringing this subject before his pupils, and in instructing them concerning their sexual organs and appetites, with perfect freedom. Occasionally, says he, an impure minded boy, when he first hears me speak on the subject, will evince, by his looks and manners, that his mind has been corrupted. But in a few days all this disappears, and he learns, like the other members of the school, to listen to my instruc tions of this kind, just as he listens to my instructions in regard to any other organs and instincts of the body. - See also remarks from Annals of Education, page 1, and Mr. Wells's Letter, Note G. 0.
