her evenings in reeounting and bewail-
ing the manifold and trivial vexations
which have occurred in the domestic
regime during the day. the result is alb
soIutely and inevitably fatal to the hap

The home is distinctly the womau's
province, and she should rule in it as
docs general his forces or a man his

her husbands love and affection, should
she be tempted. as some women have been

row, to lay down her domestic worries
at her husbands feet
Again I say that, apart from those
things a man should keep sacred, there Is
no true marriage unless a man eonhdes

Such union only is ideal when the
husband and wife share the mutual re-
sponsibilities; and only in this complete
relationship can the latter attain the

GROWTH OF THE AMERICAN
SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION
By Hon FREDERICK J. KINesBURr First Vice President

As result, these associations have
taken up so much of the original
work of the American Social Science
Association, that there is not much
place left for the parent organization.
But, nevertheless, as the result Of
the interchangeable efforts of the gen
eraI secretaries who have served the
association during the last decade or
so, we have managed to get up some
thing every year.
All of the leading philanthropists
of the country have been identified
with the association during the period
of its existence. and, though at times
there has been Iuu in the work, it
has always been able to start up
again with renewed vigor. The f.
nance department has been dropped
in the last few years, and there are
now but the four departments-social
economy, jurisprudence, health and
education. and art. each of which has
been assigned a day at the general
meeting of the association.
