Pathology is but physiology working under new conditions.  The stream of nature still flows into the bent channel of sexual inversion, and still runs according to law.  We have not wasted our time in this toilsome excursion.  With the knowledge here gained we are the better equipped to enter upon the study of the wider questions of sex.

FOOTNOTES: 

[243] In this connection I may refer to Moll’s Sexual Life of the Child, to the writings of Dr. Clement Dukes, physician to Rugby School, who fully recognizes the risks of school-life, and to the discussion on sexual vice in schools, started by an address by the Rev. J.M.  Wilson, head-master of Clifton College, in the English Journal of Education, 1881-82.

[244] With regard to the importance of the sexual emotions generally and their training, see the well-known book by Edward Carpenter, Love’s Coming of Age; Professor Gurlitt ("Knabenfreundschaften,” Sexual-Probleme, Oct., 1909) also upholds the intimate friendships of youth, which in his own experience have not had even a suspicion of homosexuality.

[245] Casanova, Memoires, vol. i (edition Garnier), p. 160.  See also remarks by an experienced master in one of the largest English public schools, which I have brought forward in vol. i of these Studies, “Auto-erotism,” 3d ed., 1910.

[246] See, e.g., Professor J.R.  Angell, “Some Reflections upon the Reaction from Coeducation,” Popular Science Monthly, Nov., 1902; also Moll’s Sexual Life of the Child, ch. ix, and for a general discussion of coeducation, S. Poirson, La Coeducation, 1911.
