The same authority went so far as to declare that the mission of

democracy is to enthrone educa- tion as the supreme business of man- kind, and to place all the other in- terests of society in their proper or~ dcr beneath it.

Education can never be carried on by a plebiscite of the taught. That is one oi the lessons which the stu- dent, early and late, must bear in mind. If he acquired noother know- ledgeuat college or university but a wholuorne respect for authority, a proper reverence for things spiritual and ennobling as distinguished from things shoddy and superficial, he would find himself on the highroad to a liberal education.

‘In the curricula of our scholastic institutions this factor, directly and indirectly, has been emphasized, and it accounts, in no small degree, for the substantial success which so many cf the graduates of St. Dunstan‘s and Prince of Wales College achieved in later life.

of the women, but they have prac- tically turned out to become the con- trary as it is the man, not the wife. who generally uses his right to get divorced. And by this reason it is easy to understand why thousands of former housewives have bocome pil , because "easy street‘ was the only thing they could choose. The Sags bureaus, that handle all cases of birth, death, matrimony and divorce belong to the more busy state's offices in Rilssia; and it is surprising how short time it took t0 make the Red subjects used to the new matrimony laws. The Soviet Code is a terra. incognlta for most citizens with the exception of the matrimonial laws, known to every- body. Let us take an example: Sergey Vositinty is tired of his wife Anna Petrovna. and has fallen in love with Tatiana Midiatovna. He doesn't say a single word about it to his wife, he just v ts a Sags bureau and gets his divorce immed- iately without his wife‘s hearing, as they have no children. Then he goes home at a time when he knows that Anna, his ex-wife, is out shopping, writes a letter to her and collects his things and departs to his await- ing Tatiana Mlchatovna. Now what does Anna Petrovna do. when she gets home and learns that she has become an exwife? She doesn't faint or cry, she is a rather clever woman and she just remem- bers Peter Tvanovitch and his ever- lasting love for her, makes an ap- pointment with him and gets her man. So it happens that a few days later four persons meet at the Sat! office to get married. They are Ser- gey V vasitinti and his bride ‘ratjana Michalovna, and Peter Tvanovitch with Anna Petrovna, They all shake hands and wish good luck. And the
