Many believe public prostitution a necessity; these need the proper physiologic information. Many be lieve the social evil so deeply intrenched that it cannot be overcome; these need to be taught some of the simpler forms of approach to the insidious yet attackable and immediately remedial features of the problem. Some believe that only the vicious are involved; these need to learn how the 255847pressure, of economic necessity, the lure of xury, an unfavorable social environment and misplaced confidence, are the causes 'of the downfall of many innocent girls.
