Zone Man Has Attacked the Problem
and Published the Results of
His Investigation"

TO give-and you want to pass 1t on
in even better shape to your chill
dren. 1t is a task worthy the met
tie Of the best Of you
This sane and convincing appeal
deserves a wide circulation and an
immense influence. In time when
almost anybody can get into the
newspapers by drooling forth an edi-
torial, bawling out sermon, or
grunting across a judges desk the
, stale old nonsense that the young
people are all going to Hades and
that the parents are all to blame, 1t
is refreshing to find a man who
talks quietly, sensibly and sympa-
thetically to the young people about
their infinitely difficult problems.
This man counsels like a kindly
and inspiring football coach who is
listened to far more earnestly than
all the lofty teachers looking down
on the young and patronizing them.
One reason why parents and
preachers and teachers do not sue
coed better with the young Is that
the young can see through their
pompous didacticism and call their
bluff. The children know where
the parents have failed and they
refuse to be either hoodwinked Or
bullied. They may pretend to be
both, but they are not influenced
in the great Outsidcs and the deep
Insides where parents cannot follow
or govern.
WORLD HAS CHANGED.
There has been marvellous
change in the worlds attitude to-
ward knowledge. Children are more
and more encouraged to learn what
they used to be forbidden to in
quire into.
The prudes are still strong,
enough entrenched to keep the
schools from teaching sex knowledge
but tho day may come soon when
children will actually expect to hear
from their parents and their teach
ers the truths about the things that
interest them instead OF being forced
10 study only the things that do not
interest them.
And the day after that far to.
morrow, the schools will try -
teach a girl 10 know how and
where and when TO fall in love
aud how to correct her mistakes in
that infinitely important field as
well as how to do sums, remember
dates. bound the states, name the
peninsnlas and the capitals, learn
the necessary falsehoods about
American history, and 10 pretend
that they are mere sponges OF in
formation and not human beings Oh
their way TO wifehood, motherhood.
husbandhood. fatherhood, business
manhood and businesswomanhood.

of mind, of social relationship;
seventh, fitness for motherhood.
He then takes up courtship as
the time when the prospective mar
riers shall study each other and
find out their mutual promises.
"Courtship is an immensely prac-
teal period, one Of decisions re-
garding home decoration, church
and social relations, finances and
vacations, and the thousand and
one matters necessary to be agreed
upon. It is a period marked by
"other consideration when he may
be privileged to have intimacies close
ly akin to those of married life and
when 1t would be the height OF
folly and cowardice to take advan-
tage of such intimncies.'
He advises the boy to check him
self on these points as well as the
girl. He rebukes the boys and the
girls who take "courtship advan-
tages when no courtship exists
The first danger is breaking down
of the girls reserve. She Is there
by robbed Of one Of her chief as
sets, for her value increases with
her unattainableness. The boy who
helps break down this reserve by a
willingness to handle or paw-over
or spoon with a girl, even though
she permits'it, is hurting her value
in the eyes of everyone, including
his own. She may permit such IA
miliarity just to be popular, put
once the reserve is broken down, she
may more readily become the VIC
tim of less scrupulous fellows.
GIRL is CHEAPENED.
Then, too, along with this loss
Of reserve comes her loss oil SELL
respect, and this she needs serious
" as the basis Of the respect Oh
other people. Cheaper girl thus
in her own eyes, and you have
dealt a serious blow to her char
ncter."
He warns that "it i'll behooves
one to tease his emotions since so
few people know their emotional
limits. And the tragedy of over
stepping the limit of the sex emo
tions is the slow climb back to the
former level-if one can get back
He notes that q public opinion is
rapidly forming that the boy should
play equally with the girl for error
and excess. he ends his splendid
appeal with a prayer to the young
people of today to think long and
straight about love and courtship,
and to make far better Job of home
partnership than We adults have
done.

woman, no matter how clever. has
not yet successfully combined the
two. Even the women who seem to
handle both motherhood and a pro-
fession will be found to be neglect
ing one or the other"
Such talk belongs in the periodi-
Gals of 1885. 1s47 and 1850, and
should come from a man, because at
that time, nice women did not
make public uttersnces on any sub
sect whatever. A nice woman
would no more have exposed her
opinions than her person to the mob.
Today there are % many and
such conspicuous proofs Of the
ability OF a woman to make a sue
cess of both marriage and a pro-
fession that to deny it is like say
ing that the same climate cannot
combine both day and night, or
summer and winter.
EASY TO DIsPROyE.
OF course, you can disprove any
thing by a careful definition, and
IL you take a woman who makes
fortune at authorship for exam
pie and raises several healthy chill
dren, you can always annilhilate
her By saying either, Il don't like
her books" or 81 don't think much
Of her children"
But you can say the same o.
any Of the billions Of women who
have never tried TO make a public
success, or who have tried 10 make
a success Of marriage and house
keeping at the sam, time, or at the
frightful combination Of being both
a good wife and a good mother at
the same time.
Success has as many defini-
tons as right" or wrong" or
Justice" or wisdom. or funny
or artistic"
In any case this university has
BIT upon a happy way Of helping
women TO fail less dismaly in try
ing to combine marriage and q
profession and that is by the
ingenious scheme Of teaching them
how TO make a success Of marriage
first.
Science, attacking everything old
and wOeful, is now examining we'd
lock with view 70 dis .yering why
80 many marriages are miserable,
and how TO combine marriage with
happiness. People used 10 believe
that misery was an essential and
