Paris-FrenCh diplomats are finding
it difficult to decide how to act in re

public can hardly abstain from attend

! not to be supposed that he can ten

has been expelled from France. In
! these circumstances the wedding may
be celebrated at Moncalieri, in Italy
at the house of his mother, the Prin-

EoOIIS SldI lIlIiS statements are maze
in paper which NJ. Paul Nourrisson,
advocate at the court of appeal, has
read before the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences. He points out that
divorces are rapidly increasing among
the working classes, and that many
people marry with the object of OBJ
tanning divorce later on. There are
in fact, numerous marriages on trial. In
Paris alone, NJ. Nourrisson declares
there are more than 5000 divorce ac-
tions every year.
More than SO per cent of these cases.
however, come to nothing, and an in
qulry into the others proves to the
judges that the grounds of the applica-
uons are often insufficient to Justify
the divorces being granted. In these
cases the courts give the parties time
fol reflection, with the result that in
many instances the demands for di-
Norce are not persisted in. The delay
IN granting divorces required by the
law often leads to many cases being
Withdrawn That is to say, the discon-
tented parties decide to separate for
no really grave reason.
There are proposals before the
chamber to increase the facilities for
obtaining divorce. 1t is suggested that
divorce should not be authorized bv
consent. This would mean the
ruin OF marriage as a ninstitution. for.
as M. NourrissOn emphasizes. what Is !
the good of marriage if the parties re-
solve to separate on the first under !
NJ Nourrisson is an opponent of di-
Eorce. He observes that in England |
where the procedure is costly Where
judicial assistance does not exist the
'onjugal difficulties of working class
couples are practically disposed of by
magistrates, who can even fix separate
ionl1clles for wives, giving them the
.ustody of the children, and compel
ing the husbands to support them. He
eeS no reason why the magistrates of
rance should not be given the same
owers.
french parents are obliged to send
neir children to the state school when
mere is no voluntary school in the
ocaIity. As NJ Coombes suppressed
"enty thousand voluntary schools. the
esuit is that the vast majority of
Fench children receive their educa-
on from the state school teacher. AS
ing as neutrality was observed the
-tuation was tolerated. But the evil
ence that the children were beinp
lught irreligious notions became GO
Verwhelmingly that the bishops made
public protest, and Catholic parents
'rned themselves into associations of :
lutuai defense. NJ. BRAND appears to
