sentiment is master today; and pub
lie sentiment, taking the promotion
of happiness as the end OF human
institutions, flinches from keeping
the unhappy locked together when
no demonstrable hgrm will result,
Those who would turn this senti-
ment against divorce must appeal to
sociology rather than 10 dogma. I
1t has been calculated that II the
movement toward divorce retains its
present velocity, in forty years one
marriage in four will end by divorce,
and in eighty years one marriage in
two. No one who understands the
vital role of the family in a healthy
society anticipates any such deplor-
able outcome. Already there are In
sight certain influences that are
likely to moderate the headlong
movement. The Industrial and In
telle-tual emancipation of women
will die out OF mems minds and
the old despotic ideal Of the 'amily
dill die ont OF mems minds and
cease TO be breeder OF condugal
discord. The distrust of institutions
can hardly go much further. II is
likely that the public as 1t wins a
deeper insight into the services OF
the family to society and to the race.
will feel less sympathy with the
wrong-doinss, weaknesses and whlms
that shattor It. Individualism, too.
is probal'y at its zenith. In the dis
cussion ys human relations we are
likely to hear less OF the radical note
and more OF the ethical note. In
proportion as the emancipated are led
to an ethical view or life, they will
cease to regard marriage simply as a
lair-weather arrangement with per-
sonal happiness in constant view.
They will recognize its inexoraobls
demands for patience and self con-
troll, for loyalty through sorrow and
sickness, through misfortune and
the aging years.
