The task intrusted to Senator Faulkner
to draft a new marriage law for the Dis
trict cannot be undertaken too soon or
too thoroughly. We have been jogging
along under old, patched Maryland statutes
that are all out of keeping and harmony
with the changed conditions that surround
us. The new law ought to take cognizance
not only of the obligations and duties rest
ing upon ministers, but also, as far as
possible, of the incongruities in the mar
riage and divorce laws generally of the
country, and put the District in an adj
vanced position of justice and fairness to
all parties.

the relation of the family to the State, than
that the legislatures of the different States

lating marriage and divorce. These laws
ought to be, as nearly as possible, alike
in purpose and effect. 1t should not be
possible for one State to discredit the
union contracted in another, nor to refuse
to recognize the legal separation granted
by the courts of another. There should be
no such extremes as South Dakota, where
a divorce can be had for the asking. and
South Carolina, where it cannot be OBJ

1t would be an excellent thing If sug-

The borough council has decided not
to yacate the Calender Gap road IN
the northern end of the borough, as mad
been decided upon at a meeting held a
few weeks ago. The road is seldom
Travelled upon and because of its ioca-
tion ON the top and side of u mountain,
it is hard to keep in repair. Believing
that 1t would be saving to, the Dor
ough to have the road vacated, the
council decided to do so. There was
such opposition to the proposed plan OF
the council, from the Scott farmers and
Jermyn merchants. that in Difference to
their wishes the project has been ahan-
doned. The road is the shortest be-
tween this and Jermyn borough and the
places on the west side of the noun
tain. 1t has been in use more than
thirty years and is the only road run
ming over the tracts of coal land that
lie in the northwest corner of the bor-
ough.

Kept in Good HumOr By the lnstruc-

The institute was opened this morn

dist Episcopal church. The first period
was occupied by Miss Mathilde Cofhn,
on the subject Mature Studies
DR.. Winship's talk this morning was
on Child Study" He said he did not
believe child could be studied as you
would a plant. The philosophic study
of astronomy preceded the scientific.
We have mind study now receiving a
great deal of attention and men are
CITING very much of their time to It,.
There is as in astronomy common
sense child's study. 1t is study
which everybody has and nobody
knows that he has it until somebody
calls his attention To ii. The speaker
wanted to give a child study talk as
far as the common sense Of every
teachers understood it.
The next speaker was Prof. George
=. Bible. He said that when he came
last evening to this city be began to
wonder where | was at. The city was
fun. the hotels Were fun and the citi-
zens We're full--of patriotism.
And | must confess myself to have
become full-of the same spirit.
The subject of Prof. Bibles talk was
