"The Social Emergency: Studies in Sex Hygiene and Morals" edited by William Trufant Foster is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume compiles essays from multiple contributors, aiming to address various aspects of social hygiene and moral concerns regarding sex. The book is particularly focused on the implications of the taboo around sex education and seeks to inform both educators and the general public about essential knowledge related to sexual health and the social impacts of ignorance. The opening of the text establishes a framework for understanding the pressing social issues surrounding sex hygiene at a time when public discourse on the topic was limited. It begins with a preface explaining the context in which the book was developed—a course at Reed College aimed at teaching social service professionals about sex education. The introduction elaborates on how societal norms historically suppressed open discussion about sex, leading to misinformation and negative health outcomes. Emphasizing the need for public education, the opening illustrates a shift toward transparency about sexual issues, making it clear that these discussions are vital for the health and morality of society. The editor argues that many traditional institutions were failing to provide the necessary education on sex and moral ideals, thus highlighting the need for reform in how sex is taught and understood in society.
