Excerpt from Educational Survey of Elyria, Ohio, 1918 During the fall of 1916 the Chamber of Commerce of Elyria, Ohio, invited the United States Commissioner of Education to make a survey of the Elyria public-school system. The invitation was accepted upon the following conditions: 1. That the Bureau of Education shall be invited by the Elyria Board of Education and that the invitation shall be indorsed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State. 2. That the survey commission may be permitted to find the facts as they are and to report them as they find them. 3. That the survey commission and the Commissioner of Education may make on the basis of the facts found such recommendations for the improvement of the schools as may seem wise, these recommendations to be not only such as may be put into operation immediately, but also such as may be put into operation from year to year as opportunity may permit; in other words, that the survey commission and the Commissioner of Education may be permitted to outline a constructive program which will receive at least the careful consideration of school officials. 4. That the Bureau of Education shall be permitted to publish the report of the survey, including the recommendations and reasons therefor, as a bulletin of the bureau, for distribution in the city of Elyria and also for general distribution. 5. That the necessary expenses shall be paid, which include the necessary traveling and local expenses of the members of the bureau engaged on the work and the necessary honorariums for such persons as it may be necessary to employ to assist in the work. The secretary of the board of education wrote the Commissioner of Education: I have been unanimously instructed by the board of education to request you to make a complete survey of the Elyria city schools. We wish to assure you that you will have the hearty cooperation of the board, superintendent, and teachers in carrying on the work. The board of education can not assume any of the cost of the survey; however, we understand that the educational committee of the chamber of commerce has a plan whereby the expenses of the survey will be fully met.

This history of the U.S. Public Health Service's efforts to educate Americans about sex makes clear why federally funded sex education has been haphazard, ad hoc, and often ineffectual. Since launching its first sex ed program during World War I, the Public Health Service has dominated federal sex education efforts. Alexandra M. Lord draws on medical research, news reports, the expansive records of the Public Health Service, and interviews with former surgeons general to examine these efforts, from early initiatives through the administration of George W. Bush. Giving equal voice to many groups in America—middle class, working class, black, white, urban, rural, Christian and non-Christian, scientist and theologian—Lord explores how federal officials struggled to create sex education programs that balanced cultural and public health concerns. She details how the Public Health Service left an indelible mark on federally and privately funded sex education programs through partnerships and initiatives with community organizations, public schools, foundations, corporations, and religious groups. In the process, Lord explains how tensions among these organizations and local, state, and federal officials often exacerbated existing controversies about sexual behavior. She also discusses why the Public Health Service's promotional tactics sometimes inadvertently fueled public fears about the federal government's goals in promoting, or not promoting, sex education. This thoroughly documented and compelling history of the U.S. Public Health Service's involvement in sex education provides new insights into one of the most contested subjects in America.
