SOVIET PRESS ACTS AS TEEN-AGE GUIDE

Papers Advocate Sex Talks for Schools in Helping to Guard Youths' Morals

Special to The New York Times.
MOSCOW, July 23-The other day the editors of a Communist youth newspaper asked a 17-year-old girl to drop into the office to explain her behavior at a party.
Komsomolskaya Pravda did not think it strange to report this today. In the Soviet Union, the official press is the guardian of the people’s morals and manners.
Lectures have appeared, for example, over the least two days in newspapers on sex education for teen-agers, the etiquette of courtship and how children should treat parents who abandoned them.
The case of the 17-year-old girl came to the attention of Komsomolskaya Pravda when the newspaper obtained a letter which she had written to a friend. The letter contained “piquant details” of a wedding party at which much wine was imbibed and the young lady was surrounded by “cavaliers.”
The youth newspaper used this case and other instances of teen-agers in trouble to demand that frank talks on sex relations be included in school curriculums for teen-agers.
Komsomolskaya Pravda Blamed parents and schools for the growth of promiscuity which it attributed to a lack of education.
Another injunction on how to live and be happy came from Trud, The Labor Union newspaper. Trud said it had no sympathy with parents who abandoned young children and then when aged returned to seek their financial help.
Trud offered this advice to parent: “Be good to your children when they are young. It pays later.”
