BALTIMORE, August 1.—A pro- posal that classes in matrimony be established in the high schools as a means of co-operation be- tween parents and teachers has been recommended by Mayor Wil- llam F. Broenihg. “Matrimony {s about the only subject excluded from the average academic education.”” the mayor de- clared. “We have made several starts already along these lines by courses in domestic science for the girls and vocational training for the bovs, but has always been a difficult problem to in- struct growing children in nrepara- tion for thelr future life. The an- nual crop of matrimonial wrecks i8 {ncreasing s6 rapidly that some- thing ought to be done. What is needed is to give the children an opportunity to discuss and an- alyze their difficulties intelll- gently. *“The most effective method of instruetion would be obviously through the co-operation of the parents and teachers. I have had Beveral opportunities to study ill- advised merriages through my former position as state’'s at- torney,” he continued, *“and In al- most every case it was due to the large proportion of children who did not know what they were doing. “At present It Is impossible for teachers to train young people for responsibllitics of _matrimony, due to some ridiculous feeling of delicacy. There is 50 much hesi- tancy about discussing these things that the whole business is a yery risky proposition. “A boy at school should be taught that two cannot possibly live as cheap a8 one, while a girl should understand that her domestic re- sponsibilities do not end with belng well gowned.” The mayor remarked that most * of the girls who smear their face with paints and are slaves to fash- HE sale is as welcome as a sea breeze, partly because good hot-weather suits are scarce in town just now, more because we have full assort- ion are the spoiled children of foolish parents, particularly of foolish mothers. The first lessor to be learned, according to the Mayor, is to keep out of extravagance and to be will- ling to fulfill the duties on a fifty- Aifty basis. Speaking of the difficulty of find- ing to fulfill the duties on a fifty- monial course, he remarked that while there were really no ex- perts in matrimony, it was pos- sible to teach ¢tommon sense, which, after all, is most important. “I certainly do not believe in early marriage,” he continued. “The husband has not had the time for training to provide for a wife, and the young girl is not mature enough to bring up her children. Most young people who marry have not the faintest conception of their dutles. They say love is blind,”” he added, with a smile. “It certainly seems that way when you look around on some of the cases we find.” The mayor emphasized the fact that vamping methods would be strictly tabood In such a course of instruction as diverting the minds of ;mntlls from much more vital sub- ects.
