cookies.

Private Bill closed his eyes ecstatical-

it in both hands and buried his face in

obtained in this country than any other civilized nation
This also may be true But back Of this unfortunate
diton there than what the theorists delight to term
contempt for the marriage relation
American men and women differ little temperamentaly
from their brothers and sisters elsewhere Probably if it
we're brought to close analysis the American would
be ind more gallant and considerae than the men Of
Europe American are better educated and enjoy
greater degree Of personal freedom than any other women
in Christendom IT, therefore, the marriage relation is
less cherished in America than elsewhere there must be
some rea whch has been slightly touched upon heretofore
It is strange indeed that the social philosophers who habit
uay denounce the divorce evil should not take the log
cal toward solution Of the matrimonial problem. There
is no divorce evil that is not attributable directly to the
marriage evil Yet this marriage evil ally
crred to as something that has developed after the we'd
ding ceremony instead Of having existed before it. 1t

evade altogether or approach haltngy and make

TONS It may be said that hasy and nudcious marriages
are the direct OF most divorces In this day the
sp OF adventure pervades the most sacred relationship
of man and woman. Almost every newspaper records
the romance Of silly and irresponsible couple who
meet on Sunday and marry tuesday, 1t quite the
popular thing applaud these marriages and laugh the
youthful eopers who successfully evade parental oppos
ton. And many ministers and petty judges aid these
vioIators Of the higher law BY performing the wedding
ceremony for practically all comers, whether justified
not In Kansas City, Kas. few days ago magistrate

Missouri town boy and girl we're married on dare

middle-aged school girls common and frequently
parents give their tor the marriages Of mere boys
and girls In fact instances Of mesaliances Of
ous kinds could be elaborated indefinitely. Under such
circumstances it would be passing strange did not

aly among the Catholic nations Of Europe, marriage is
saeguarded and follows that when marriage is safe

One Of the most recent International congresses and
which has received little publicity, that moral
education. This meeting held in London. where a
thousand educators and religious teachers consider
means OF impartng moral education to young people,
tcuary through the schools That such congress should
have been held in itself an acknowledgment Of fact
which educators apparently have been trying see
The distinct step in advance in the educa
tiona world and will powerfully to call the attention
OF all educators to the pressing necessity OF substitute
for that moral education which American youth formerly
received in their homes and through Bible reading in the
schools The Bible has been crowded out Of public
schools and moral instruction in the home is and
more neglected But with the almost total abolition Of
both these sources Of instruction right living there has
been given no substitute The home, the church, and
the school each supposes that the child receives moral
training from another. Each contributes little, but the
total falls far short Of providing youths with the character
needed to resist the increasing temptations to do wrong.
Wrong often appears in forms so ingenousy disguised
that the germ Of right living absorbed by the child in
ing fails to develop into the penetrate Me cloak
OF sham righteousness when he assumes place OF
sponsbiity
The present educational system in general as was said
by Lord Ayebury, OF the vice presidents OF the
aress designed to fill the memory rather than form
character. he events OF nearly every day show where
character has broken under the .ss of modern life and
instead Of dimnuon Of instructor in morals, present
educational tendencies should be ard definite teaching
in character building if SUI obstruction has to be
non-sectaran non-reigos. Congresses such as
that in London will force educators realize that
the acquisition OF knowledge without character avas
but little in the upbulding Of nation.
