Scortatory Love" form a part Of the
curriculum at the wealthy Academy Of

In these teachings the author argues
for the sancttty of the marriage tie. but
carefully dinerentiates between the
several degrees of evil involved In the
various possible violations OF that tie.
He goes ever further: he asserts that.
for some temperaments, certain rcla-
lions outside the married state are not
incompatible with n preservation Of
the true ''conjugal principle"
So much, though not much more, was
admitted yesterday by two officers Of
the institution, One was the Rev.
Charles r. Doering, treasurer OF ne
school and instructor In Swedenborgian
ethics, n the other was the Right
Rev. William r. Pendleton. the Swe-
