SHOULD CHILDREN MARRY?
Rose Wilder Lane Says Children
Should Not Marry"

The old but ever new question of
whether parents should help their
children marry before the children
are financially able to support a
home is the subject of lively
argument between two famous
authors ). p McEvoy and Rose
Wilder Lane-in the current issue
of Woman's Day magazine.
Should parents help their chill
dren to marry?" asks Mr. McEvoy,
and then proceeds to convince you
that they should. That would
sound pretty silly to our forefath-
ers- and certainly no one ever ac-
cused them of coddling their off
spring. But we spoil our children
so we are told. We overfeed
them, overpet them, overeducate
them, overprotect them, up to a
point and then we kick them
right out on their faces. We drop
them from whatever limb we hap
pen to be on, like monkey drop
ping a stick that he's tired Of so
you want to get married, eh?' we
Well, go ahead, but don't ex-
pect any help from us One can
forgive the puzzled look on the
youngsters face at this point If
ever he needed help he needs it
now. In fact, he needs it now
more than ever he needed it be
fore. -.
The farmers boy could and did
earn his keep almost from the time
he could walk. But your boy and
my boy fresh out Of college is a
man in years but a child in exper-
ience. He has never done a mans
work, and he is not equipped to
take a mans place but yet he is
"a man. It's not his fault that he
hasn't worked; it's not his fault
that he hasn't earned his own liv-
ing, and it's not his fault that he's
a man and in love"
Not blaming the boy who can
not support a family but who
wishes to get married, neverthe-
less, Mrs. Wilder put the respon-
sibility squarely on the parents.
In my view" she writes, there
is no excuse for the parents whose
son is unable to be responsible for
his own life when he is old enough
to marry. For twenty years at
least that parent has been OBJ
structing his child's natural de-
velopment. He has denied his son
tthe human rights of real life, of
liberty inseparable from response
bility, and of pursuit of happiness
with all the disasters inevitable to
that pursuit.
81 hope my boys will marry
young. If, after the age of TWEEN
ty, they are carrying financial re-
sponsibilities too heavy for their
strength, 1 hope to be able to give
them the same help-in college or
in marriage-that I would give
any human being in the same cir
cumstances. And on the same bas-
is, consider it an insult to an
adult human being to offer to sub
sidize' him. And if my boys are
not adult human beings when they
are twenty years old, then 1 have
shortened their lives as much as
if had cut them short with bull
let"

A few sleighs were out yester-

cording to position, the thermom-
