Specific changes in the marriage and
divorce laws to cut down the number
Of wrecked and unhappy lives whose
misery is laid bare in u divorce court
are recommended by Carl A. Davis, dis
trict judge, in an official report to the
supreme court of this state.
The judge goes into all of the facts
that are revealed by the records of his
court for the last few years and ex-
plains to the Justices of the states
highest tribunal the reasons for the
large numbers of unhappy families that
are to be found in this county and in
this state.
The study of the conditions that are
revealed by the records of the district
court shows some startling and sensa-
tional facts and indicates, to certain
extent, the amount of misery in Idaho
caused by unhappy marriages, The
judge finds that the lack Of informa-
ton upon sex matters is the prime
cause for the greatest share of this
unharpness in the family relationship
and he recommends that steps he taken
to educate the children Of the state in
such a way that they will understand
the most important questions of sex
hygiene.
He shows that Ada county has the
highest divorce record of any place in
the United States. He mentions that
large part of this is due to the i'm
migration of many persons to this city
from eastern points for the sole pur-
pose of securing a divorce under the
lax laws of this state but he calls at
tention to the fact that many of them
are also natives or residents of Idaho
who cannot find happiness and con-
tentment in the marriage that they
have contracted
Biggest Of All Questions.
He feels that this question is one
OF the biggest one before the people
OF this state. He believes that the
people of Idaho should produce the best
children, should give 10 posterity the
best that the present generation can
give and he cannot see how such a
thing may be done under conditions
as they now exist. rhe question of
divorce is one that is Globe to the heart
