TOO MANY DIVORCES

"Why so many divorces?" asks
an exchange. The same ques.
tion is being asked by a great
many people who have the pro.
per conception Of what mating
means and what it ought to be.
The trouble is that too many men
and women marry without first
obtaining the necessary know
ledge of the whims and peculiari-
ties of those with whom they ex-
pect to mate. An attractive face
is considered the sole requisite
by some men in search of wives,
and too little consideration is
given to the temperament and
the mental qualifications of both
men and women.
The silly and foolish well-to.do
mate without any regard for tenn
perament, wealth and position
being the only things consider
ed. The wealthy married
folks W h-o seek separation are
merely like children who tire
of a toy and cast it aside. They
have no moral responsibility.
Then there are hundreds and
thousands of mere youngsters
who rush into matrimony before
their habits are fixed and their
minds developed. What pleases
them as children pals when they
grow older.
If there was a closer scrutiny
on the part of ministers and mag.
istrates when they are called up
on to perform marriage cere.
monies, and il there was some
method Of auiring valid guar
antee that mere boys who seek to
marry are capable of caring for
q wife there would be a pruning
out of the badly-mated couples
Then the divorce laws should be |
made uniform in all the states, |
and with refusal on the part of |
ministers and justices to remarry |
those who have been divorced |
perhaps something might be
gained.
There are three times as many
divorces now than there were a
generation ago, according to pop
ulation, and ths,anxiety as to the
future is natural. Matrimony is
too frequently looked upon as
frolic, and the comparative ease
with which a divorce csn be Sc
cured is responsible to a large
extent for the many separations.
Men and women, when they
marry, must first of all make up
heir minds that they must sink
great deal and concede q great
leal more. They must reflect
hat clashing of tastes and views
S detrimental to happiness. Thus |
before marriage it is for every {
nan and every woman to know /.
o full the habits, the tastes and
weaknesses of the one to whom Z
hey expect, at the start, to be =
'ound for life. Education ought
0 solve the problem, but it is !
ard to educate the foolish we'll !
o-do or the thoughtless young {
a all social ranks to understand :
hat what they may think they !
rant is not always what they 3
hould really have. Probably
he real answer to "Why so 2
lany divorces?" is that divorces I
re to be had too easily. Morning I
