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.

TVERYBODY knows that the finish is largely
governed by the start. If you start right
you stand a good chance to finish right.
This applies to buying clothes as well as to
riding to hounds; if you start your clothes-buying
by a determination to get the best possible for your
money, you'll g0t it. That means that you will
start at our store, and' you'll finish in one of our
Hart Schaffner &x Marx suits or overgats.
That will be the right finish for your clothes
buying because these clothes are right in every way,
from start to finish; all-wool, tailored right, correct
in style, perfect fitting.
