KCLUWHy STODDARD IS GIVEN HONORS .4 Paddle Is Needed Sixteen hundred boys and 12,831 girls 15 years of age were listed as married in the last United States census. Eighty-two boys and '19!) girls of the same age were record ed as widowed or divorced. While these figures arc net great in camparison witli the total population they are suf ficiently impressive. In earlier times marriages were contracted at ages much younger than the average now. It was not uncommon a hundred years ago for girls 17 or 18 to marry but cer tainly the man in such cases was older. However, in those times a woman was old at ;S(). Then she put on a cap and expecteJ to bo given the deference duo one who has seen a long life. At the same time not the most hope'ful re sults could be expected from marriages in this day of those who have scarcely reached the age of discretion. The nor ma! boy or girl is not through high school at 15 years. It is quite clear then that those who enter wedlock at that age prefer marriage to education. Perhaps they think they do not need it when married and those who will take such a step so sarly in life probably would not be benefited by further schooling. The percentage of married persons up to 4'1 years also allows an increase over the previous census. Despite the igain ill, djYum-fi.Ahaa-IOl not enough to produce a decreased proportion. Marriage is the normal slate of normal people, but mating at 1" years is scarcely the normal action of normal youths. It is an illustration of a tendmcy that is not healthful.
