Prof. Howard, of Chicago Uni- versity, Advocates National Supervision and Registration of Marriages as First Step. CHICAGO, Oct. 1.—Governmental jur- tadiction of marriages 1s the solution of the divorcee evil advocated by Dr George E. Howard, professional lec- turer in history gt the University of partment of history at Leland Stanford University. The first step in the solution of the divorce problem is described by Dr Howard as follows: “Every county In the United States should be divided into districts, for each of which a registrar should be appointed, It should be the duty of register all marriages cgntracted under civil procedure in his district and to license, register and attend all mar- riages golemnized by religious celebra- ton. “Phe lawmaker cannot reach the root of the divorce evil. We find the cause for divorces planted deeply in the #0: clal system, part in false sentiment regarding marriage aud fainily, and this can only be removed through more ra- tloral education and some sort of gov- erneny supervision. “We can, by careful and uniform etat- utes render conditions favorable for re- form. “There is In this country a aad lack of appreciation of the functions of mar- rlage, Not as much care Is exercised in the union of human beings as in the breeding of fine antmals. = SIR M.
