man In the village where the boy had
lived all his life. The boy remem-
bered him distinctly. he was SO
strange. SO different from the others.
As he walked along Broadway he saw
a dozen lame men. He remembered
them rather than the hundreds of peo-
pie who were sound. So 1t Is with
our pessimists. They can see only
the lame men,"
Felix Adler, professor of political
and social ethics at Colunbia univer-
sity, expressed the opinion that the
responsibility for divorces lay not
with the lack of instruction of those
contracting marriage, but in the view
of parents that marriage is a means
to obtain felicity and comfort, rather
than an institution having for n of
its important objects the preservation
of society.
"Mr. Mitchell has skinned a sub
ject," said Prof. Adler, which, to be
thoroughly discussed, would require
all the reflection of a work on philoso-
ply. / should be inclined to go beyond
the people in the divorce courts and
beyond the neglect of the parents to
inform their children regarding the
duties and obligations of marriage,
and to say the blame lay in the alb.
sence of thought and mature consid-
Grafton of the marriage relation in the
parents themselves.
Marriage should not be considered,
as Is sometimes the case, merely for
the felicity and comfort which the re.
lation affords. Marriage is an insti-
tuition for the perpetuation of the best
spiritual element in our race. A child
needs the protection, the spiritual in
fuence, and the material guidance of
the home long after infancy is passed.
We see in nature the mountains, the
rocks, the rivers. They are perma-
nent- We face a, condition in which
the most precious thing of all-life-
Is ever In danger of extinction. 1t is
the preservation of this most precious
thing that should be the source of
thought and study by those who live
in the marriage relation. The blessed
felicity of marriage is a result, not
the motive, of marriage"
as the ignorance with which young
people approach marriage due to a
lack of frankness on the part of the
.parents?"
Il would hardly say that" Prof. Ad-
Ter replied. GA New England woman
asked me recently whether she should
tell her young daughter everything
about married life before her we'd
ding. 49,
Il was Of the opinion that it would
not be for the best. The mother
