MARRIAGE LAWS AND DIVORCE.

MARRIAGE LAWS AND DIVORCE.
To what extent the divorce evil is
encroaehing on our national life is
shown by the report of the Illinois
commission appointed to secure evil
dence on that subject The figures It
submits are staggering, Within the
last half century divorce has increased
on an average Of more than three and
one-third times as fast as the popula-
tion. In the past year it is estimated
that 100000 divorces were granted. 1t
is within moderation to say that in the
last so years 100000 homes have
been wrecked, and that nearly a mil
lion and a half Of children under the
age Of ten were deprived Of one or
both parents, Compare the figures
for 1900 in 20 European countries. in
addition to Australia, Canada and New
Zealand. with total population OF
267 100000, as against our population
at that time Of 78,000,O00 The di-
vorces granted in the % countries
were $1,000, The divorces granted in
this country were $4,000. The rate
here was seven times that OF Europe,
The commission believes a remedy can
be found only by a revision of our
marriage laws, We can never hope

Polignac who has brought to success
this movement. He foresaw that to

first French athletic college is real
