sociologists are pointing out, the
thing which is threatened is that an
cient and revered institution, the
home. viii generation of young wo-
men trained for trades and profes-
sfons. establish homes at all? Will
they not. like Fannie Hurst, refuse to
be SO encountered?
The social thinkers tell us that this
threat to the home is much more seri-
GUS than We imagine. The economic
independence of women is at the base
of 1t; but the spread of birth control,
the eradication of venereal disease,
and the tendency to recognize mother
hood out of wedlock, which received
such an impetus from the world war,
are all forces working against mar
rage and the home. They tend to re-
move fears which drive many into
marriage.
This alarming anti-hOme and anti
marriage movement is in it's begin
nings, of course. But it grows stead
lily, and it is hard to see what forces
will operate to stop it. 1t may be that
entirely new ethics of sex-relations
will have to grow up, and that the old
fashioned family is doomed to disap-
pear as those larger forms of the same
organization. the feudal and patriarch
al establishments, have already disap-
a word. the tendency of civilization
seems to be to make the individual,
rather than any organization. it's chief
concern. The fully developed individ-
ual is its purpose and highest product.
