M. Leipziger, these lectures | » have been continued for fourdeen years with no increase in cost to the | | sity. A staff of more than six hundred lecturers lias been available > at trifling expense per man. Specialists, teachers, experts in many | fieids have fallen in love with the project and offered their servicvs for their bare expenses. In many instances the cost of lighting and heating the lecture rooms has been all the city was called upon tol provide. | é Ae Hy, +e These lectures have packed the school rooms with people. Many of them illustrated, all of them instructive, théy have covered a wide | © Tange of subjects, Tho have brought to thousands opportunity to| edd to knowledge and widen interest, They have turned the school | ; houses into centres of intelligence for adults, It would be impossible , Fes 5 Ao put into figures the benefit these lectures have been to the cit 7) in bringing sound instruction ahd entertainment within reach of sec tions that most deserve these things and are least provided with them.

ANYTHING which will make marriage little more difficult should be welcomed with joy, because it will make it more desirable in the cyes of most men, As it is, marriage is 60 EASY that they are suspicious of it, while divorce is becoming a sign of respecta- bility and ready money, since enly the pure in heart and reputation and the fut in pocketbook may pass over the Great Divide into the “Happy Hunting Grounds.” 4 In short, the greatest expense attached to any marriage to-day is the divoree—and “perhaps when marriage certificates become as expensive ax divorcee decrees, marriage will become as popular and fashionable—as” divorce.
