The general economic and cultural
advances OF the nineteenth century
succeeded IN slde-tracIing most OF the

people to bode that OF every form Of
the family. They argue that any type
OF family organization is inconsistent
with our rampant individualism.
Many facts seem TO justify this argu-
ment. nevertheless are there not more
optimistic signs in view? Is there not

ism and altruism are mutually de-

Distribution of Offspring.

The family. she says. has been
orly one OF the many forms OF assu-
citation that have served in the evolu-
ton Of lie. The ability to leave
progeny IS one Of the success winning
chracters in the struggle of natural
selection. This ability is greatly en-
HANGED through the family. It will be
our task to learn. through a study OF
family structure, how IN the care OF
offspring the function Of the family
form OF association has been per-
formed.
Diminution OF offspring IS a three
fold gain % a species. % Il lessons

enables the size and capacity of the
limited number Of offspring TO be in

developments OF parental care after
birth. It concentrates the advantage
Of that care upon a few instead of
scattering it. and thereby weakening
Its influence, upon many.
Among mankind. as among the low
or animals. the duration and nature
OF parental care in general more or
less correspond 10 the period and de-
gree OF immaturity characteristic Of
the offspring. which, in turn, more or
less correspond TO the nature OF the
environment.
Among superior economic classes
the employment or a foster mother or
nurse is not uncommon. Among
groups where economic classes are not
to any extent differentiated, musings
are sometimes sucked by foster moth
ers on the death Of the natural moth
er, more commonly, however, they are
killed.
Here we may also briefly note certain
social factors indirectly affecting the
general birth-rate by postpOning the
age of marriage or limiting the number
of potential parents.

Mrs. Parsons urges the study in col

family and parenthood. She says that

are plain on this point. Postponement
Of the age OF marrige is. perhaps,
in curtafiing the child-bearing period
and IN combining COLLABORATING 10 the

however. that very early marriage is

Trial Marrlages suggested.

Trial Marriages Suggested.
The relation between married per-
sons should be that best fitting them
for their task or parenthood. Il should
be one allowing for a fun development
of their natures; for all their capa-
bilities should be taxed IN their role OF
parenthood. 1t Is unfortunate that IN
the emancipation Of woman agitation
OF the past half century the reformers
failed 10 emphasize the social as
adequately as tho individualistic need
Of change"
Mrs. Parsons makes a plea for early
marriages under certain conditions OF
education. but admits the force Of
some arguments advanced against
them. 1T would therefore seem well,

encourage early trial marriage. the
