1--WE can divide and subdivide the dOmes-
tiC trOubles--and their causes are many
but en- the whole ne can say that such trou-
bies arise from two main causes. NAMELY
economic conditions and immortality. In
the former may be numbered ignorance
misunderstanding and a mlscOncepti0i Of
the mutual obligations Of husband and wife,
and the privileges forming the basis OF fam
rs life. There are many cases due 10 pow
erty. idleness or general recSlessness. The
domestic troubles arising out OF economic
conditions are by far the greater number.
and those that have their origin in immO-
TaIity are comparatively few.
statistics show that in Manhattan and
The Bronx there are from ten thousand 70
twelve thousand. cases OF domestic troubles
that come annually before the magistrates
and Judges and IN BrnOklyn these eases
number from rive thousand 90 six thousand
These numbers do not include the summons
