“I had occasion to see some of the boys masturbate until they ejaculated. Sometimes we played a little with each other. One boy wanted me to pretend that I was a girl with him, but I did not want to do it.” Later at Sherman Institute the boys were given a pamphlet on the evils of masturbation. “It said that the practice ruined a boy’s health and caused him to go insane. But I saw the boys doing it right along. They did not mind being watched by other fellows.”
