bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has

Professor Suggests College Of

In Its Administrative Division Our
Matrimonial Laws Require Dras-
tic Revision at Almost
Every Point.

Lincoln, Neb.-"A college Of do
nestle relations"-a step in advance
Of Chicago's court Of domestic rela-
tions-is strongly urged by George E.
Howard, professor OF sociology at the
University Of Nebraska.
"The sociologist, the economist, the
household scientist, and other special
lists should join forces in such an in
stitution to give sound training in the
problems Of sex. parentage and the
household.
mo more harmful blunder was ever
committed by theological subtlety
than the setting aside of marriage as
par excellence, the divine institution"
Trained officers to perform the mar
riages in districts and revision Of the
matrimonial laws Of the country were
suggested by Professor Howard.
Improvement Of the present mar
riage customs In the United States
Professor Howard proposes as fol-
lows:
Endowment Of motherhood by the
state.
Adjustment Of the common law
marriage.
Twenty days public notice before
the issuing of license.
Limiting marriage to those who are
Of age.
OF the endowment Of motherhood.
Professor Howard says:
Recognizing parentage as q social
service, a social duty which should be
paid for at the public expense, looks
very much like social justice.
''In its administrative division our
matrimonial laws require drastic re-
vision at almost every point. We need
a better and a uniform license sys-
tenn, so as to secure full publicity and
q faithful compliance with the spirit
Of the law.
