To regard the family as wholly oi as fundamentally an economic fact ns though It wero a commercial ar rangement or a piece of property to bo bought or gartered, Is to enter tho high road to domestic Instability and disruption. Hack of all the economlo considerations which have consolidated the family lie tho nor nial and permanent Instincts ol human love, Tho family la an eth! cnl fact not the lesa than an eco nomlo fact. It Is the object of tho sweetest sacrifices and tho happiest selt-forgettulness. The family Is the primer In tho moral education of the raco, and tho Issue which the present crisis In tho history ot the family represents Is precisely the Issue be tween the economlo nnd the moral aspect of tho family.
