WAY TO SOCIAL- REFORM.
The proposition that the poorest families should not have more than two children was defended by Dr. Rinnie Dunlop, of, London, in a paper which he read to the Sexual Reform Congress,

Man, he said, in spite of his hard work only managed to increase the world's food supply so slowly that the average number of children in a family should not be more than three if extreme poverly was to be avoided.

"Secure a very low birth-rate Dr. among the poorest classes, Dunlop said."" and very little else in the way of social reform will be required."
Dr. T. W. Hill pleaded for com- [`panionate marriage and co-educa- tion as steps in the right direction, while Mr. R. B. Kern, the editor of the New Generation, supported sexual freedom for spinsters, to whom the world owned so much in' the growth of humanitarian move- ments. At present, he said, more than 40 per cent, of women over thirty had never been married, largely owing to the fact that grent numbers of men did not marry. Nearly a quarter of the men of 35 in Britain were still unmarri- ed. Moreover, there was far more spinsterhood among the educated classes than among the working classes, where most women married. Spinsterhood had liberated for the whole world an immense fellow sympathy which in the past would have been expended entirely on the family,.
