.'Schoolboys do not understand the
principles of modern menus. as they
eat as much as they want in the first
quarter of an hour and then STUFF
themselves for the rest of the meal"
Every single meal taken according
to modern menu, says the canon,
was a direct stimulus to passion.

continued, because the Japs, who
eat no meat, are proving their prowess

in the innocence which is simply

VIEWS ON MARRIAGE.

DR.. Patten, to use a scientific term,
has a different conception than have
many men with regard to the condi-
tions under which young men and
young women should marry.
There is at present said he, "a
tendency for those who are engaged to
postpone marriage from year to year
until the husband is better able to pro-
vide a home. Take, for instance, the
case of young man who is earning SIS
a week and a young woman stenog-
rapher whose weekly stipend is SIS.
They may postpone their marriage. He
meanwhile may be saving up some
money, but spending his days in more
or less extravaganza. while she. as the
independent woman usually does, saves
little or nothing. They have what they
call a good time. They go to parties
and. balls. AT the end of five years is

This question of the physical quail
ties of women is an important one. All
the authorities agree that so far as
progress is concerned man is at a
standstill so far as his physical pow
ers are concerned. The time will come,
no doubt, when there will be scien-
tific marriages in order to strengthen
the human race and to send it .on the
road to progress. Industrial conditions
should lead to the progress Of both
men and women. The woman who has
borne her portion of the industrial bur-
den is certainly better fitted for moth
erhood than the one who has not. She
has built herself up in muscles and
nerves. She is devoid of the nervous
weakness so peculiar to women of the
leisure class. In addition to that, she
has built up character and high quail
tiles, which the woman who has not
had contact with industrial conditions
is not likely to possess. AS supplement-
ing a college course, know of no bet

that the one fact in life that human
beings must not attempt to compre-
hend is the origin of life itself.

poses," declared the canon. ito be

is agreed. but the present danger lies
in the continuance of the dense. dark
abyss of ignorance Of food

he anticipated that one day there
would be as great reform In public

FAMILYS PROGRAMME.

Professor Patten then outlined a
day for family of father, mother and
children under the proposed regime.
"All would arise at about half past
O'clock" he began, ''and the busi-
ness of the day would begin. The
mother would, of course, prepare the
breakfast, and in these days of break
fast food ready made that could be
easily done. The preparation of the
average breakfast takes but fifteen
minutes. AS to the washing of the

since it is the organ of the unseen as

the mother is to work will, of course,
have to be determined later. Six hours,
as I have said, would be sufficient. On

distant when hot luncheons will be
served to children in the schools, as it
is in European countries. We are ap-
preaching that idea now. The dinner
for the evening could be made up of
dishes purchased at establishments re-
sembling delicatessen stores. Much of
the food which is prepared in the
kitchens of the laboring classes is bad
When l was in Paris recently I was
surprised to see the number of shops
where well cooked food, such as roasts
and joints, could be purchased ready
for the table. The whole idea which
propose is this: To take the wife away
from the home where she is often an
inefficient agent, and to make it posSi-
BILE for her to do work where she will
produce something of value and add
substantially to the family income.
The trouble with conditions of labor at
present is that the hours are set en-
tirely for men. OF cource there would
have to be some changes to accommo-
date the women. There might be two
shifts of the feminine workers. Part of
them might be at home while the
others are at work in the fectory. Re
lieved of much of the cooking, the wife
could find time to do some of the light
cleaning work about the house, or her
wages might be sufficient Ito permit oc-
casionally the hiring of cleaning wo-

things and the best things, is calm and
self-poised, estimating eternal values,
and sees the far vistas of Immortality.
Is it quite true, however, that our
age has to-day in full possession? Self
centered, stout-hearted, minded
man believing in the right of might,
needing no God to assist him, who says
that when he dies ne will be Luried
and that the end of all, has he to-
day for his own? He who builds not
for tomorrow bat for to-day, does not
the morrow none the less hopelessly en-
chain him? How many trusting to-
the coming of tomorrow? For most
men who have no Faith tomorrow is
fatal necessity-and a will-o'-the-
wisp none the less. The materialist's
tomorrow, the commercialist's those
who seek the bubble reputation at the
cannon's mouth that of the pro-
nounced men of to-day, what a cup Of
Tantalus it is? "a year hence. ten
years, twenty years from now, / shall
be rich, famous successful" How
many are? The tomorrow of unfaith
for the most part never comes. yet it
must build on it's fateful castles ever.
Faiths tomorrow, on the contrary,
never deceives. 1t is sun that shines
the brightest when the candle e to-
day is dimmest, that flashes fullest at
to-day's eventide, sending back rays of
richest splendor, just as to-day's light
has completely faded into night, and
rises on a tomorrow that never sets.
And then the to-day that want of
faith seems to have. Is it really worth
while? Does the sordid success of the
chaser after mere material good really
please? Is there not illusion in it.?

the material pole of it's great arc has
reached the furthermost point and is
now swinging back rapidly in the
direction of things of the Spirit. The
change was urgent and is timely.
There is vast amount of new knowl-
edge to be spiritualized. The splendid
triumphs of science and art and in
vention and learning which distin-
guish ours beyond almost any age wait
to be glorified in an age of faith.
Utilitarian ethics viewed merely as a
blossoming of the cosmic process are
without power to secure moral ends.

That means falling off of popu-
lation. 1t cannot have any other ef-
feet. The woman who has no work
has no children, because she does not
wish to be bothered with them. She
does not care for home. All her. in
terests are outside of it. On the other
hand the woman who tolls does so for
the purpose of increasing the family
income SO that she may help build up
the home. She has four or five chill
dren where the woman of the leisure
class has none. History shows that
the mothers of the most children were
working women.

THAT meant deception. If the woman
became factor in the industrial sys-
tenn of the country many of the faults
to which she is subject would disap-
pear. She would be truthful honest
and punctual, would she not? The lack
of punctuality would at first put her
under disadvantages. Punctuality is an
industrial quality. Men soon acquire it,
because they have to do so.
Men must keep their word. They
learn the value of that in business, for
out of commerce comes the square

Doctor" was asked, lis it not true
that there are many men who do not
care to marry an independent, re-
sourceful wife who is abundantly able
to make her own living?"

the ordinary man does not wish an in

picture kind of a woman. He does not

once of a man who when he was asked
why he had chosen so frivolous a wife
replied that 1t made no difference to him
he had brains enough for two. Such
a marriage as that must prove unfor-
tunate. How can the world progress
under such ideas as that? Men do not
choose the proper type of woman.
There is where so much of the trouble
lies. They seek women who will be di-
version for their lighter hours. Empha-
sis seems to be put upon the poorer
type of woman. In primitive times
women who could not fairly fight
against the world could not succeed.

In other generations she worked. With
the Introduction of machinery and of

avocation has been taken from her. A
large part of the work which was once
hers is now done outside of the house.
Once she made clothes and even wove
the cloth from which she fashioned
garments. She went into the garden
and raised vegetables; she MIXED the
cows. There was a time when the

concept of the men of the present
to their wives. Through all classes of
society extends the idea that the
woman is a doll. Everything tends to
relieve her of her share of the work and
to make her one of the leisure class.
Formerly this leisure class of women
included only the aristocracy.
Now those of the capitalistic class
who were once large producers have
become non-producers and are imitat-
ing the ideas which were once
held only by the aristocracy. The wife
of the man who belonged to the money
ed class was hard headed and saving
and she helped her husband build up
his fortune. The acquisition of the
ideals once held by the aristocracyAhas
reached even to the working classes, so
that a man earning only $40 a week
will object to his wife doing her share,
on the ground that her doing so would
give the impression that he was not
able to support her. 1t is the spread
of such ideals which has shut out
large class from production.
Everywhere we see the tendency for
women to go into this leisure class.
The wives of men of moderate means
devote their time to dress, to travel,
to attending the meetings of women's
clubs, in going to balls, dinner parties,
theaters and bridge whist parties.

should have taken place when they
were much younger. How much more
sensible it would be for them to marry
while both are receiving wages, The
total OF $43 week is a comfortable
sum- They could jointly get along very
well on it and be happy. Each would
contribute share to the maintenance
of the establishment. Is that not bet
ter than for the young woman who
has had SIS a week and has spent it all
to try to make s25 week do for two?
1T is a good rule to adopt that the
two shall work until the earnings of the
husband shall be equal to the amount
which he and his wife together were re-
ceiving at the time of their marriage.
