COLLEGE COURTSHIPS
THE WAY TO HAPPY MARRIAGE American co-educational colleges are a happy hunting gronnd of romance, in the opinion of Dr. Paul Pepenoe, director of the Institute of Family Relations at Los Angeles. One American marriage in six ends in the divorce court, but among marriages of those who were students in co-educational - colleges only one out of 75 ends with this drastic cutting of the knot. "One of the greatest contributions the schools can make toward indivi dual happiness," Dr. Popeno said in a New York address, "is to socalise their student bodies, even if this means renouncing some of the monastic ideals to which some of them still desperately cling." f' "So far as educated Americans are ! concerned, more marriages now result ' from meetings at school or college than from any other source. These
marriages turn out conspiciously well." Dr. Fopenoe advised the modern mother to remember to bring up her boy with the idea that some other woman was going to have to live with him.
