TBE SEAL REMEDY. Much has been said regarding- tr e prevalence of divorce and of the facility with which it is ob a:nv.a :n this country. Marriage is fairly controlled by law in nearly all the states. Minors, idiots, and a few more or less unfited persons are not permitted to make a marriage cc ntract. The state might wise ly extend the prohibitory feature of such laws and still avoid plac ing undue restraint on the insti tution of marriage. But to restrain divorce is, by far, a more difficult problem. What constitutes a sufficient ground for divorce appears to be an indeterminate question- Re garding marriage, as our laws rightly do, as being simply a civil contract, the bond maybe cancelled when one of the parties refuses to observe the condition expressed or implied in the con tract itself. This view of the nature of the contract makes possible as many reasons for annulling it as the contract' has conditions expressed or implied. It is this, perhaps, which has sriven us such a diversity oft divorce laws and practice among the several states. Attempts have been made, no doubt will be repeated, to remove this diversity by having congress enact a national divorce law. So far congress has refused to do this, and it is improbable that we soon, if ever, shall have such a law The view that marriage is a religious contract, indissoluble save for one "scriptural cause," is wholly incompatible with our' form of government, and will never be accepted by the Ameri can people.; Yet the evils of divorce; remain; and should be remedied. Perhaps the eaiest applied, the safest and most efficacious remedy is that of right training of the young. It is almost cer tain if the youth of the land were taught the realsignificance of ths marriage contract, and had im parted to them a correct know ledge of the duties and responsi bilities to themselves, to society, to the state which attach to and grow out of the marriage relat ion there would be fewer unhappy marriages and consequently few er divorces. Parents, guardians, teachers, all who believe in the sanctity of marriage and the in fluence for good of happy homes should join in this propaganda. 'DEAD AND BURIED. Hazing at the Agricultural Col lege is dead and buried. ' Truly "it died a-borning." Firm and right discipline has been vindicated. The friends of collegiate education, and especi ally the friends and patrons of the QAC have- reason for un feigned gratification because of this. - . President Kerr is to be highly commended for his wise, fair and efficient action, whereby disci pline is maintained, angry feel ing subdued and the whole stud ent body won over to the right side. The entire faculty won praise for the alacrity and unanimity with which it rallied to the sup port of President Kerr. Last, but not least, is the man ly response of the students to the appeals and requirements of the college authorities. It is a happy conclusion of a thought less escapade, and we are war ranted, in repeating that hazing at OAC is dead and buried." 1 How is Your School? Yonr school, of coarse, is pro gressing, but we fear with many it is only a matter "of course." You hear the bell ring at nine in tbe morning, you know your children are not on the rampage at home, turning things topsy turvy all the day, but outside of this we fear your personal know ledge is very lame. Now there should be daily watchfulness and care on the patt of the parents. Inquiries should be made of scho ars, of their progress, ana an active, interest taken in their advancement. Oc casional visits should be made to the school room by every parent. Communication should be fre quent with the teachet in regard to the child. In every poss blc avenue the parent should exhibit a real interest in the school, tbe standing : and progress of tbe child. The knowledge of such interest will pat the child on his guard, and mettle and spur him on to greater exertion. The gist of the matter is, if you would have your schools what they ought to be and what you desire they should be, yoi should have no less interest than tbe teacher or scholar, nor no more think cf losing this interest than they, frbm tbe time the school opens in, the fall . until it closes in tbe spring or summer.
