stressed the Importance of the home,
but dWelt little upon the causes

dermining it. Divorce he attributed
in many instances to hasty marriage.

reign supreme. That democracy
should provide the common pleasures
of life, and home property should be
so dOmesticated that every member
may feel that it belongs to all"

for, and against what he affirmed.
