HUSBAND AND WIFE
ARE CO-GUARDIANS
OF THEIR CHILDREN
(By The Associated Press)

Cleveland. o., April 2S.-Twentieth
century laws make wife and husband
joint and equal guardians of their child.

have not adopted such laws as yet, ac-
cording to Mrs. Catherine Waugh Nc
Culloch, in addressing the National
League of Women Voters here last
Monday on the subject wife and
Husband as Guardians"
Twentieth century laws make wife
and husband joint and equal guardians
of their children, with equal powers
concerning their custody, nurture, tut
ton, earnings and services" said Mrs
McCulloch. I'm case of the death or
incapacity Of either parent, these pow
ers devolve upon the survivor. Indiana
and Vermont took this advance step
during the present session of the legis-
lature. In several other states similar
measures are pending.
twenty-five states and the District
of Columbia recognize the parents
equality, viz:
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
District of Columbia, Idaho, Illinois. In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Massachusetts,. Minnesota, missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire. New York, Oregon, Penn
sylvania, Utah.. Vermont, Virginia
Washington, and Wyoming.
There are eighteen other states
which have, to a less degree, recog
nized the wife's power by making her
guardian Of her child after the death
of her husband. This takes away the
husbands ancient right to select the
childs guardian by deed or will. Among
the partially modern states are:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Louis
lana. Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey
| New Mexico. North Carolina, Nortf
Dakota. Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Is
land. South Dakota, South Carolina
| Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin
'In all Of the As states in case OF liti
CATION, courts consult only the best in
terests of the child. and can remove al
unworthy or incapable parent from th'
guardianship.
There are five states which continue
the guardianship laws inherited from
the dark ages, and where the father:

modified under unusual circumstances
