Modernism may have done many things to elevate the race, but I see nothing in modern women or modern families which gives them the right to assume that they are an improvement. in the single particular of home life upon their forebears. In fact, the one thing that has actual- ly suffered most under modernism is the family.

In America they have changet The home into a lodging-house and the family circle into a cafe- teria, and their assumption that theories are justified by the ant- ture of those who proposed them must submit to the acld text of Experiment.

SOLDIERS OBEY!

Iwe nothing in the influence of modernism on the home to make me feel that their jejune theories can take the place of universal tradition as to the place of the man In the family. When you have advanced woman to that position, you have not glorified, the woman and you have debased the man, because God made man to be the head of the family, and you can no more alter the will of God in the social order than you can change the laws of biology, to suit your fancy.
