HOME THE PROPER UNIT.

THE cities are made up Of people
striving for themselves he said.
mot for their homes, mind you. but
for themselves. Individual wealth
is the object of the rush which ruins
their nerves, their stomach, and their
morals. II they would strive for
the greatest common wealth, they
would achieve the greatest common
good-the development Of a eugenic
race through the proper unit-the
home. With minds taken up with
business, there is no time for race
or homemaking; no time for moral
questions to be thrashed out: IN
word, IT is rampant individualism,
for which divorce Is a panacea and
helpmeet."
This indivdualistic tendency is
brought about by a wrong inter-
pretation of our own declaration OF
independence-life, liberty. and the
pursuit Of happiness.
When those words were first
stated they did apply to the individ-
ual, they were meant for him, they
freed his body and his soul from
bondage But now We are free. the
nation is a nation. and we must Work
for the life, liberty, and for the hap
piness of the masses-for the COM
mon good. This will be done by
building the proper kind Of a race,
and by correcting those mistakes
which tend to make US nation OF
weadings."
The Larger Scale.
-But AZ 10 the scale on which We
transact affairs" l interrupted, does
not our immense country in ltse1'
with great distances to be covered
demand such a scaie-and Is there
not more opportunity in America Ior
indiyidualism than eisewhere!
we. the country requires the
larger SCALE" he replied. "and we III
America have more Of chance lot
tndividualism. But just as there is
an ever-increa sing scale. there ID an
eyer-enlargins unit, and Americans
must adjust themselves to L. ma
tionally. that unit spells the common
good. the masses: individually
spells HOME, not one person.
THE first is. rightly, merely the
second enlarged"
This We fail to recognize
THE preponderence Of divorce III
this country is a proof of that state
m,nt. There is too much time given
over to the rush and strain OF busi-
ness and too little for building Tor
the common good. That building
lies in the proper regulation OF the
home, of home conditions-of di-
yorce. and. remember. divorce is the
admission OF the need for a better
moral code"
so you think that divorce is a
greater evil In this country than In
otters?"
He laughed quickly.
