While it t'started a similar course for students last semester, about the same time as the University of California joined 200 other colleges and universities in the United States that began to offer students this instruction, Mills is the frs, college to open the courses to the public. ,. &,.,
 In charge of the new division is Dr. John Harvey Furbay, lecturer author, and educator who has been on the faculties of the College ot Enporia, (Kas.), the Junior Col lege. of Connecticut, Taylor College and for three years was acting president of the College of West Africa in Liberia. r,"
 It was in this latter capacity that pr. ,Ftrbay formed ideas about teaching courses on marriage and the family. He conducted class es on these subjects ill several in- stitutions before, taking a full time job at Mills. . Praise For Savages
 "The savages of Liberia" he de- clared, do a better job of prepar- ing their boys and girls for married life than we do in this country. There the children are taken iron. their parents at the age of or 6 and are kept in separate bush schools, where the. girls are pre- pared for wifely duties and the boy; for husbands responsibilities. "The girls are good mothers by the time they are 12 or 13. They are grandmothers at 25 and are dead by 3O." ,.
 Dr. .Furbay declared that the success of teaching marriage and family courses in American edu- cational <. institutions has been demonstrated.
 Statistics show" he said that those who, have studied marriage courses have a divorce rate about ore-tenth that of the average"
 Dr. Furbay intends especially to debunk the argument that roman tic love alone, is safe and sound basis for lasting marriage. 5.
 "The courses will include stud- ise," he said, tending to disprove the idea C. marrying ones op- posite and instead we will endeavor to show that the best marriages are between those of similar eco homie and social background, edu- cation and interests, standards of ethics and religion"
 ,tF '| Tn CtnASc ENNvSnn11ine
 Economies also will play a big role in the courses for the reason that 1t Is an established fact that American wives spend about 80 percent of their husbands salary.
 The Mills College course will cover besides the topics the stu dents usually have, some knoWl- edge of household economics and the legal aspects of the marriage contract.
 we try to build toward well adjusted marriage" Dr. Furbay said. Experts will discuss the dif- ferent aspects of marriage, psyco- logical, physical, financial and re- ligious. The class will learn the causes of family maladjustments and how to avoid them.
 "The idea that the problems of marriage aren't as big as they seem is an important one, which we will try to explain. The wife's wor- ries about her husbands socks un- der the bed, his annoyance at hair pins strewn about-these things are insignificant unless they get out; of control"
 Dr. Furbay will have on his fa- culty for the course an expert gyne- cologist, 8 psychiatrist, Unitarian minister. a deputy district attorney and an economist.
