J ?U cently a most striKing ana whuicsui/ article under the caption, "Will tl Family Survive?" H- -)oints out most clearly some the imminent perils which are besc ting- the family in our day. His wor are not those of wild alarm, but solemn and timely warning. His admirable article opens wi the following gripping paragraph: "The fires of civilization will rea< no higher and burn with no whit bp.it than the fires of the hearth. T home is the real unit of our civiliz Hon. If its fires go out, civilizatii too, will smoulder and die. Ther fore, rock the cradle and not the boi The hand that stops rocking the cr die will finally begin rocking ti boat.'' He is quite right, and too mai hands have stopped rocking the cr die and fallen to rocking the boa The movements of feminism in < their forms tend to the undervalu tion of motherhood and the overe tMiiation of public work. Being th' out of moral balance they drop ea isly into ail sorts of radicalism They gravitate towards socialis ^ '* ^ ^ clfVlAlK iliiU VUiXUIlUUlJJ in iiicuiaujt, auuuuj often insensibly to their advocate These tendencies have been mo marked since the close of the wor war.

Many have become almo hysterical in the leadership of da gerous agitations the ultimate ei of when they do not foresee. Th( have found rocknig the cradle alt gether tame and tedious, and ha proceeded to make "thrills" f themselves by rocking the boat, u on the fate of which their own hig est interests and the welfare of s ciety depend. in the following: paragraph which characterized by both wisdom a; moderation: "Today's new freedom brings assault on the very life of the fai jlv.
