 The new code permits judicial separ- ation.. as well as divorce. the court de. ciding whether such separation Shal. be permanent or temporary. The grounds for divorce are precisely the same for both sexes insanity, if it has continued for three years and is cer- tified as incurable, being among them In the case of a divorce granted on the ground of adultery, the parties may be forbidden to remarry for three years, while the court may award the custody of children to whichever par ent seems best fitted to bring them up. Should the court disapprOve of both parents, the children are board ed out. The party deprived of the custody of the children must still con- tribute to their maintenance and edu- cation in proportion to his means, but he has also the right to see his chill dren under certain conditions fixed by the court
 English law is also allowed whsn q wife finds her health or good name en- dangered by living with her husband. In such a case she may claim main- tenance, but cannot be compelled to cohabit with him.
 The three systems of marriage are based on union of goods, community of goods. All marriage contracts af- ter January 1, 1912, and as far as pos sible those prior to that date, will be presumed, unless an agreement to the contrary exists, to be based on the first system, which allows the wife to

be e'the legal owner of anything she may have brought with her on mar rage and of any inheritance she may afterwards receive. The husband. however, has the management and en Joyment of such property, with certain restr1ct1ons. He may, for example, in- vest his wife's money. of which he tnen enjoys the interest; but he must, on her demand, render an account of his stewardship Otherwise. she may insfst on separation of goods, and become partly responsible for debts. While the man must hand over not only her share of the estate, but one third of any income in excess of what they had when first married.
 Community of goods means the loss of all individual rights to any part of the joint estate. Should the husband become Bankrupt, however, the con- tract is dissolved, and the wife has the same rights as in the case of union of goods.
 Separation of goods makes the wife entirely free (except to engage in bus mess or a profession without her hus- bands consent), and entirely respeu- sible for all her actions and debts; but the husband may demand a contribu- ton from her own personal income or means to any jointly incurred expen- ses, such as housekeeping. Should her husband become bankrupt, she enjoys no privilege position.
 The new code shows marked len 1ency to an unmarried mother, and is far more humane in it's treatment of illegitimate children, while at the same time more severe on the fathers of il- legitimate offspring.
 The powers now bestowed upon cl1il- dren's guardians (public guardians) are very great, and would certainly be resented in England Should parents fail in their duty, these guardians can remove the children, and deprive the parents of all control in their educa- tion In such cases a guardian is appointed in loco parentis, and may be of either. sex. Parents thus deprived of the control of their children must however, still contribute to their sup

MARRIAGE IN SWITZERLAND
The New Code of Civil Law-Radical Modification of the Legal Status
 of Women in the Confederation

By the new Swiss code of civil law, which came into operation on January 1, the laws relating to marriage and divorce, illegitimacy, the relations Gf parent and children, guardianship, wills and testatmentary dispositions, and a variety of other matters are made uniform throughout Switzer- land.
 First among the many changes is the radical modification of the legal status of women. Hitherto the Swiss woman has been virtually minor ill the eye of the legislator, but hence forward she wilT~be entrusi ed with al- most all the rights and privileges Of a man, except that of voting. If mar ried, her earnings will be absolutely her own property; if a widow, she can claim the sole legal guardianship of her cLilSrsn; she will be able to dis pose of her property by will without consulting either husband or children, subject only to such conditions as govern testamentary dispositions in the case of men; and, finally, she can choose under which of three differen. systems of marriage settlement she prefers to live with her husband
 The marriageable age has been rais- ed from sixteen to eighteen in the case of women, and rom eighteen to twenty in that of men, but for all per- sons under the age of twenty-one the consent of parents or guardians is necessary. Eveu persons over twen-

CONFLICTING RIGHTS ON TRANSFER OF COLLEGE PROP

TRANSFER OF COLLEGE PROP ERTY-By an act approved in 179s; Stanford Academy was incorporated, and 5000 acres of land were donated to 1t by the state. With the pro- ceeds arising from the sale of the lana a lot was purchased in Stanford, Ky, and building erected thereon which was used for school for both sex es until about the year 1870, when Stanford Female College was incorpo- rated. Property was thereupon bought and buildings were erected as a re- suit of appropriations from Stanford Academy, the town of Stanford, and numerous private subscriptions This property was used as a girls school from that time until the year 1904, when. the institution not being self sustaining he trustees conveyed the property Stanford Academy. In 1907 the. of the Stanford Acad- emy'' was changed to Stamford Col lege." After the establishment of county high schools, and graded school in Stanford, the trustees of Stanford College found themselves unable to maintain the girls school, and thereupon proposed to surrender the property. Immediately claim ants from all sides sprang up-con- tributors, Stanford College, Stanford traded school, and the county board Of education. The property was awarded to the county board of edu- cation for a county high school by the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, in Stanford College vs. Board of Educa- ton, III Southwestern Reporter, 3S6.
