vast number OF respectable men and

be said about them.
There are great many men and
women who have despiritualized
their lives by over mucn attention
TO pleasure and creature comforts.
The swine disgusts US by It's
coarseness. The butterfly charms
by its refinement and aesthetic dain-

They eyade the serious business
OF life. They shun responsibilities.
They refuse the burdens. They fee
from the disagreeable. Such a spirit
has already worked harm in many of
our social institutions. The home
has suffered enormously. Parents
have shirked parenthood because II
is such bother.
a large family Is not always a
step toward sanctihcation. but the
deliberate avoidance OF parenthood
Is destructive OF the mutual conf
dence, respect and love upon which
the family life Is founded. The In
creasing number OF couples who
consult their own selfish desire for
ease and live together without any
real home in insufficient apartments,
In boarding houses or hotels. is un-
douhtedly one very real cause OF the
increasing number OF divorces. Com

objects OF affection
wiz bind together with bonds that
cannot be broken.
The church has suffered also.
Many serious minded. capable and
eficient workers have been lost TO
the church because the search for
amusement and a perfect craze for
pleasure has pre-empted the heart
and life.

the great increase in high school

greater.
While the school system In 1900
was content with sl,0s6.so4.01. the
request OF the school authorities for

According TO DR.. Chadsey. many

this tremendous increase. Some OF
them are:
Detroit's remarkable growth in
population.
Increase In the cost OF living
which forced an increase in salaries

There were no vacation schools.
There were no continuation

There were no baths In the

Little attention was paid to the
children's play. One Of the big prob

now Is to provide Fairgrounds and
athletic helds.
Kindergartens were IN their In

there are 81. Then there were IS

there were s2s children. Now there

The great Increase In the school
