The series contains a large amount of correspondence between Board of Health personnel and teachers, school officials, and parents related to social hygiene instruction. Somewhat less common are summary reports written by lecturers following their visits to schools and communities. Of varying length and objectivity, these reports provide more insight into the attitudes of students, teachers and the local population concerning sex education in the public schools. The lecturers' reports often comment on the level of support received from teachers and school administrators. Although lecturers usually spoke before senior high school students, there is a limited amount of material related to talks and meetings with parent and church groups.
There are three additional folders in box 5, including correspondence between the Health Education administrators and the American Social Hygiene Association: instructional materials received from the American Institute of Family Relations: and a curriculum planning guide for social hygiene and marriage classes.
