Stie-To those correspondents who object to "obscenity" in the classics, I would point out that, if one is looking for that sort of thing, there is plenty of it in the Bible, at least, in the Old Testament-sodomy, incest, concubinage and many other things. Are we then to ban the Bible? I think every normal school child goes through the period of secret sniggering at real or imagined indecency. If these passages, whether in the Bible, the classics, or any other form of the printed word, are explained and discussed freely by parents and children, as aspects of the pagan life of the past-and the present!-then not only does the fascination of the obscene disappear, but valuable lessons in purity and modesty can be drawn, "To the pure, all things arc pure." Bans and censorship only send pornography underground and increase the curiosity of the young to find out what it's all about.
