“Good sportsmanship in manage” is a sure antidote for
the divorce evil, according to Thomas F. Graham, Judge of
the Supreme Court of the state of California. He says mar
liage is to be regarded as a fifty-fifty proposition. Prepar
edness is essential with follow up tact, patience, toleiance,
honesty, humor and an infinite capacity for forgiveness. The
increase[in divorce is attributed to sportiness and the lack of
sportsmanship.
Asa {remedy for this growing evil it is suggested that no
girl should be permitted to marry until she has a practical
knowledge of housekeeping. She should be instructed in
both prenatal and postnatal care of children and she should
be made to see that mariiage is a matter of give and take.
No man should become a husband without a clean bill of
health and without the ability to earn a wage sufficient to
keep himself and his wife comfortable and with an outlook
for children.
Judge Graham thinks if these rules were followed there
would be a rapid decrease in the number of divorces and un
doubtedly he is correct. However it is going to take a lot
of education to make people remove this and to make them
go against the strong urge of human nature. When two
yonng people decide they want to marry, it takes a lot to
make them stop and consider the education of the wife as far
as the care of children are concerned, the ability to cook for
wage earning capacity of the husband. Such consideration
come only with age and wisdom.
Lady Astor, the first woman to gain a seat in the English
Parliament and who has been paying a visit to her native
country, America, believes that the only way to improve
conditions is to instill in the children a desiie for better lives.
And she is correct, for the little children of today will be the
law-makers or the law-breakers tomorrow.
On the mothers and fathers rests the burden of the future
welfare of the country and God grant they may live up to
their responsibility.
Alfred E. Stearnes, principal of Phillips Acadomy at An
dover, asks in the Woman’s Home Companion that we give
youth its chance. He is not in sympathy with the social con
ditions that force young college boys to resoit to police pro
tection to insure ordinary decency at afiateinity dance. He
appeals with the mothers to play fair with youths. The most
potent influence today in the lives of boys and girls, are the
movies, popular literature and the social life which compris
es the prevalent extravagances in music, dancing, fashion
and the free indulgence of liquor. Youth will respond to its
better self when the appeal is clear and compelling.
MY LITTLE AOUSE.
I wish I had a little house
Within a little garden plot.
Within just a tiny sauare of lawn
To bleach the household linen on.
A sweetbriar bush beside the door
And honeysuckle in the hedge,
A shady porch along one side
Where I can sit in all my pride.
From door to eedge a path of brick,
Bordered by box and brilliant bloom,
An apple tree against the wall
Laden with ripe fruit in the fall.
Beyond the hedge a country road.
Beyond wide fields and farmsteads gray:
0, I can see it all so plain,
See it in sunshine and in rain!
I can hear, too, the robins sing
At sunrise in the apple boughs,
And I can hear the meadow lark
Between the daylight and the dark.
I smell the bush beside the door,
The honeysuckle in the hedge.
And in the fields across the way
The fragrance of the farmers’ hay.
Is it a dream? It seems so clpar,
With bush and tree, and hedge and walk,
And just that tiney square of lawn
To bleach the household linen on!
