ethics of the marital relations will not be
touched upon. Right here the enterprise
is lame. It is built upon the wrong the
DRY. The first thing that ought to he
taught In such a school is the secret
of holding what you get at the matri-
monial altar. The secret of continual
courtship should be taught. Young peo-
pie should be made to understand that

woman seldom spends his money In riot
