CHICAGO, March Colleges of
courtship for the reform of American
ove-making are needed TO fit the love-
lorn population OF the nation for mat
rimony, according to Professor Charles
r. Henderson of the University of Chi
cago.
In an article on courtship in the cur
rent Biblical World. the professor
urges expert instructions for those who
are smitten with the illusion" OF love.
Hasty marriages, divorces. and mar
riages Of convenience are classed as
results of the ''barbarism" into which
courtship and marriage have fallen.
He shows as examples of the decline
in love where the wife is bought from
the parent like a cow or where she is
compelled to marry to secure for
tune from a rich fool"
Fashionable society exhibits de-
praved standards and alimony is ac-
cepted as a substitute for rational mar
riages. he declares.
Professor Henderson points out as
particular evils of modern lovemaking g
such perils as flirting. boasting OF con-
quests. extravaganza, accepting costly
presents, ignorance of the training of
children and courtship without intent
| to marry"
