r. HE prevalence Of divorces In the
to the country and to the church, 10
the declaration of DR.. Robert Stuart
Macarthur. The American republic
has a most unenviable prominence in
this regard. The detailed accounts Of
suits for divorce, as these suits are
pressed in the various courts, are dis
gusting in the extreme. They bring
reproach alike upon American men
and women in all parts Of our country.
These facts are admitted and at the
same time are sadly regretted by our
best citizens and our most devoted
churchmen and churchwomen.
The causes for divorce are numer
GUS. They are not limited in re-
sponsibility, either to men or to
women. It is not q sufficient state
ment to say that the broader educa-
ton Of women and their emancipa-
ton from the greater subjection Of
former years is the chief cause. as
Mrs. Anna Rogers says. The men
and womon who rush into the divorce
courts elicit our contempt for their
vulgarity and coarseness. not to use
even stronger terms. It is difficult so
to control ones moral indignation be-
cause of the vulgarity of these d.
vorce cases as to speak of them with
the restraint becoming q newspaper
article. How men and women can
stoop to charge abominable crimes
against each other In order to secure
divorces makes one ashamed Of his
race. Idleness, lack Of spiritual occu-
patton and suggestion. and vulgar con-
formity to low ideals In life-these
are causes largely responsible for the
prevalence of divorce. Hasty mar.
riage Is also somewhat responsible.
Many men and women rush into mar.
riage with less serious thoughfplness
than they would show regarding any
ordinary business transaction. The
clergy also are somewhat responsible
by the haste with which they Of

THE reason for so many divorces Is
i that women do not spend enough
time studying the characteristics OF
their intended husbands, according to
Mrs. Elizabeth Bacon Walling. 1t is
not caused by the fact that modern
machinery and inventions have taken
woman's domestic work from her,
thus leaving her with lots of time on
her hands to fiirt and get into mis-
chief. The athletic girl is all right. I
have nothing against her.

Has higher education made woman
dissatisfied with the domestic sphere?
Or is It that the high tension of
modern everyday business life has
prevented. the husband from giving
his wife the romantic attentions and
caresses demanded by her nature?
Modern Man Too Busy.
1t Is not uncommon for the wives
OF business men to spend summer in
Europe and winter In the south, and
many times they find in these places
the romantic companionship and at
tention their own husbands had not
time to give them at home.

were treated, their husbands sending
them packages Of lace and bundles of
silks. and bringing them home hand
fuls Of jewels, but II they ever sus.
pected their wives need Of romance
and tenderness they were unable to
supply 1t. because of the demands on
their time by their many business in
terests.
Or is It that the modern inventions
for picking. preserving, dyeing and
cleaning have left the twentieth cen:
tury woman with vast leisure" ON
her hands, and has her lack Of domes-
tic occupations and cares made her
dissatisfied and hypercritical of her

keep some business engagement he
hurries forth without the morning

Other Reasons Given.
Or is 1t that young couples look at
marriage too childishly and do not see
the economic. sociological and political
sides of the family? Do they not
realize its integral relation to the
state?
Do they consider It as a personal
thing. and does their dull sense Of the
sociological aspect of marriage dull

What we need is q doctrine Of
w marriage. There is no clear
cut doctrine of marriage. The church
is tied up to the ethics Of 1000 years
ago. the oriental fantasies Of Paul.
"The old idea of marriage was in
culcated and secured through two
fundamental rinciples-reverence to
parents and the understanding that
marriage was to be permanent. These
principles are both imperiled," 10 the
idea of DR.. Felix Adler.
under present conditions they are
no longer tenable. for the first was
founded on the idea that the child had
no rights except through its parents.
Its position was one Of the sub
servience, of unquestioned obedience
to the parents, and as regards the per-
manence Of the marriage tie, IL was
chiefly bond that tied the woman to
the man. Her position was one of
subordination.
To-day we admit that the child has
rights which we are bound to respect
and that the woman is the equal Of
the man.
"One trouble with modern marriage
Is that the masculine element pre-
dominates In the ceremonial. This
should not be so. The great trouble
10 that people who marry nowadays
look in marriage only for happiness.
Happiness Is not the end OF marriage.
as most people think, but only an In.

bound to find many trials. They should
respect the etchical ideals; their great
responsibility is to future generations.
