DIVOKCK I.VU'HY TO CHILDREN
Oregonlan: Judge Graham's de
fense of easy divorce Ignores one of
the principal arguments against it
the effect on the children. An es
sential reason for the institution of
marriage was that there might be
Borne H?rsons responsible for the care
of children, that these persons should
be the man and woman who brought
the children Into the world and thai
the identity of those persons might
bo fixed. The duties of father and
mothor In the care and training of
children are Joint and cannot be ade
quately performed by either paron
How can children receive this car

by a court to the care of only one
parent ant) the other Is either for
bidden to approach them or is only
allowed to make an occasional visit.
In the latter case the visits inns

cnuuren. and parents who place re

er, gratiheation of whims or desire
for marriage with an affinity above
the claims of their children, nre
qualifying their children for a selfish
vicious and often criminal llfo.
.ludgo Graham predicts a decrease
In the proportion iif divorces "when
girls nre tral I to expect and take
pleasure In the duties of wifehood
and motherhood and are taught what
those responsibilities are, and when
boys are trained to resiwct the
posuo sex ns a whole. Mow are
girls to receive such training from
a mother who has been divorced
on tome flimsy pretext, who has plac
ed ino satisfaction or a whim of a
grudge above their children's wel
fare? How can boys he trained to
respect the opposlto sex when their
own mother's conduct forfeits that
respect? It Is Inevitable that chil
dren should be witnesses of occas
ional domestic jangles. but thev
should also witness a disposition to
bear and forbear, to forglvo and for
get, not n disposition to niagiiifv
every petty dispute Into a pretext for
breaking up the family. Mitigation
of the divorce evil cannot be found
In better training of children, for
that evil prevents rhlldren from be
ing well trained anil thus perpetu
ates Itself. Just so far as divorces
are restricted, children will bo better
trained and wilt be less disposed to
fly to the divorce court every time
friction occurs in the running of
the domestic mochlnery.
This argument, of course, dites not
apply to those couples which are
childless by their own choice. They
are blind to the very purpose of
marriage and are so utterly selfish
that the greatest kindness they could
do to children Is not to have any.
