SHOULD MARRIED FOLK GIVE
UP THEIR INDIVIDUALITY?

II must say she is very selfish
and stubborn. I always am
ready to make up after a quarrel
and go over half way in avoid
ing new ones. but she sulks un-
til there is another one.
I'VE have been living quite
happily until about a year ago.
Before the past. year we shared
our pleasures and our troubles.
but now 1t is just the reverse.
She has not spoken to me for
the past two weeks and / have
reason to believe that she has
started action for a separation.
II need her and my daughter
in every way. If she had her
mind concentrated on getting
along instead of breaking away
there is no doubt of things run
ming smoothly.
or course, we are of differ
ent minds on various matters.
but all 1 ask is that she have
consideration for my feeling as
have for hers.
The real happiness of loving,
think, is in making sacrifices
Tor the other who reciprocates.
but I cannot understand how
anyone can enjoy having things
her own way at the expense of
the other always. I cannot en-
JOY anything unless it $50 is
enjoyed by my wife.

believe married couple are not
individuals as l have read SO
much about recently, but that
they are and should be one.

nature without her approval while
she maintains that she need not
have my approval on anything.

The comment wish to offer is
this: 1 wonder if Unhappy Hus-

about believing that married folk
should give up their individuality?
don't think that two who
have lived for a third or at least
a quarter of a lifetime as
individuals can come together and

From this simple beginning
grew the idea OF the Sunday
school. Clergymen took it up
everywhere. The Methodist and
other dissenting creeds, fearing
that the Church of England might
gain strength by teaching their
own children, safeguarded them.
selves by establishing their own
Sunday schools. Soon the Church
of England took official notice Of
it, and Sunday schools sprung UP
all over England, spreading soon
to the United States.
The Sunday schools of the pres.
ent day are devoted exclusively
to teaching religion. Raikes
found the children so ignorant
that he taught them something of
reading. writing and arithmetic,
and thus he had a good deal to
do with the spread or free schools
in England. though that country
Jagged for many years behind the
United States in free education.

so many of them conspicuously
may be explained as the operation

nature they possess no conscious
ness. These inherent tendencies,
then. take the place of the the

servation. combined with higher
reason, furnishes US.
You act upon the basis of tho.
DRY every day of your life. In
most cases you have forgotten, or
have not noticed, that there is any
theory concerned: but If you have
not worked it out for yourself, you
may be sure that someone has
worked it out for you, perhaps
thousands of years ago, and the
gist of his reasoning has been
handed down in the shape Of O
theory which we all instinctively
follow.
Whenever an invention of any
kind Is made 1t is the result Of
theory. 1t comes from the rea-
soned belief that things will con-

tions. This theory, like all others,
is the product of reasoning upon
observed facts and events which
discloses the connections between
them.
1t is really only a theory that
the sun will rise tomorrow morn
ing. And that theory has been
formed upon observation of the
fact that the sun has always in
the past, as far. as record goes,
risen in the manner in which we
expect 1t to rise tomorrow.
We cannot know, as a fact, that
the sun has risren until we have
seen 1t rise, but the theory that
it will rise enables us to carry on

OBSERVE that a Western
educator urges that attention
Il be given in schools to teach
ing boys and girls how to dis
tinguish between theory and
truth. Probably by condensing
his idea into a sentence he has
given 1t a trend that he did not
intend.
A theory may be just as true
as a fact. The object of theory
is to ascertain and explain truth.
1t would be a mistake to instiIl
in the minds of youth the notion
that there is any conflict between
theory and truth. The aim should
rather be to teach them the real
nature of theory.
All science may be said to rest
upon theory. There could be no
organization of scientific knowl-
edge without theory to bind facts
into systems, and show how they
are related by laws. A theory is
