INCREASED TELEPHONE SERVICE (St John Telegraph Journal) ' In considering telephone service in

large companies at once spring to mind. for it Ls probable that very few people are aware that there are more than 2.000 systems operating in the Dominion. Figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, dated December. 31; 1928, give the number as 2.447. According to the ‘.928 figures, these systems save a. total of 1.334.584 telephones, with a n-ire mileage of 8,982,867 miles. Late: approximate flgura are pro- vided by the Bell Telephone Com- panv of Canada, the increase for other companies during the year end- ing December 81, 1929, being estim- ated st the same ratio of growth as that recorded by the Bell system. ‘fill; estimate gives the total number of telephones in use in the Dominion at the close of last yrar as. 1,397,585.

How Could We Expect Boys and Girls to Profit _

by Learning the Art of Matrimony in School, When the Living Picture They Have Had Before Them Since ~ ‘Their Cradle Days Has Had SoLittle Effect ?

A famous educator and psychologist suggests that the most feasible remedy for the mlsmating of youth in marriage would be the establishment of courses for matrimony in schools where family life in its social, economic and biological aspects could be studied. This is an intriguing theory. 1t is cheering to think of a young man giving as much thought and efiort to learning how to be a good husband as he does how to be a good plumber and studying the idiosyncrasies of the feminine temperament as thoroughly as he does the workings of a gasoline engine. Likewise it is en- couraging to think of flappers taking matrimony in a serious way and devoting as much time to developing their technique in handling husbands as they do to wzquiring the touch system in typewrltlng.

Certainly a school of matrimony that would teach pick out their mates scientifically instead of marrying at present, would meet n. long-felt of usefulness if it could prepare them beforehand for the inevitable dlsilluslons and disappointments of con- nubial life and thus take the edge off the shock of their finding out that they had married Just plain, ordinary human beings instead of the roman- tic heroes and pin-feathered angels that they thought they were getting.

young people how to on the grab-bag principle, as they do want. Also, it would have a wide scope

.____.....

One loves to contemplate the earnest-eyed young students committing to heart the precepts that would teach them that marriage is very much like any other business and the way to make a success of it is by going at. it with intelligence, tact, patience, perseverance and a settled determination to make a go of it.

Surely no institution of higher learning could do more to spread sweet- ness and light than the one that taught boys and girls how to live together i npeace and harmony, how to sell themselves to each other, how to avoid i arguments and family spate, how to respect each others personal liberty...

....Without doubt girls would be taught in the matrimonial kindergarten the importance of feeding the brute and that no love can survive being fed dish-water coffee and soggy bread end tough meat. Tney would be in- structed asto the ' ' moment in which to ask for money and tell that mother is coming for a nice, long visit and taught generally how to b a husband's fur the right way‘ so that he would pun- under their hands

And surely in eventhe pre-school period a boy would be taught the

their wives every day that they get more beautiful in every way; to keep up their batting average of kissing. and especially would they be drilled in the matrimonial multiplication table of bills, food bills and rent bills and doc-

that when a. man dances at his wedding he has to pay the piper.

Unfortunately, up to now we have all had to be self-educated in mat- l rimony, and by the time we have learned how to read the partners cf our ibosoms like a book and have got their numbers, our knowledge comes too late to do us any good. We have made the mistakes that are past all rec- tifying and spilled the beans that we can never pick up again. so, un- I cloubtedly we would be saved many heartbreaking blunders if we had taken a college course in matrimony that had taught us before marriage the things that it took us thirty or forty years of experience to find out for ourselves.

But if this utopian plan of establishing classes, in which the young shall be taught the art or science of matrimony were put into actual oper- latlon, would they learn anything from it? For, after all, what is every home but a laboratory in which every girl and boy has ample opportunity to ‘study family life in its every aspect?

From its babyhood every child takes daily cognizance of the attitude of its father and mother toward each other and with uncanny astuteness it knows the mistakes that each makes in dealing with the other. It knows to a. hair's breadth which one takes advantage cf the other, which one does his or her duty and which one renegea. It hears all the family arguments over money and in its little mind referees all the domestic fights. There is nothing really that any one can tell a 10-year-old child about family life that it doesn't already know.

i. Yet these children who have seen marriage at close range with disillus- ioned eyes; who know that father's and mother's romance has burned itself out and left only a pinch of ashes; who know how hard and sordid is the ,struggle to bring up a family on a small income, go along themselves and ‘get married expecting to be perfectly happy and to live in a rose-colored ' paradise.
