When the Family
Ends the Nation Dies.

Periodically we are greatly disturb
ed by the news that marriages, are
falling off and that divorces are on
the increase. And then on the heels
of this news there come numerous de-
clarations as to how serious this evil
is, and even more numerous sugges-
tions as to how it may be speedily
checked.
No intelligent man or woman who
will give any thought to the problem
needs to be told how serious it is. 1t
menaces practically everything we
hold dear in our social order. It
touches not only the lives of those inn
mediately implicated; it involves
somehow the very foundations of So
ciety. It means that in something
fundamental to our social welfare and
we ought to.
Nor will any intelligent man or wo--
| man close his ear to any Of the many
suggestions which will presently be
given as to how the solution of this
problem must be approached to be eff
fective. We shall be told that it
ought to be made more difficult to
get married, and less easy to get
| divorce. We shall be told that the
| problem is not merely an economic.
/ one, although it is that too in part;
they will say that it is individual in
so far as anything can be individual,
and they will tell us that it is also a
fsocial problem.
| In the meantime there are those
who have given much thought not
merely to the present situation, but to
the historical aspect of it also, and
the conclusions Of these thinkers may
be worthy Of consideration. They tell
sus that the family is the basic unit Of
civilization; that where any commune
lty or nation has chung to this basic
family unit, it's progress has not been
endangered, and where the integrity
| of the family unit was assailed, there
decay was inevitable.
| The historical significance may be
clear to everyone, but more clear even
than that is the logic of it. It is with

unsettled attitude of the professional

in consequence, a continuance Of the

noticeable result was TO increase the
