Dr. Hutchison was speaking on the Paychology of parenthood.“

"Most mothers fulfil their duties very well during the period of in- fancy, but when the child begins to assert itself and to oppose its will to that of the mother, then dif Bculties begin. A sense of irritation and of impatience arises in the

without this assertion of its will the child cannot develop. In many homes the preparation of a girl for marriage mainly consists in clothes and a trousseau. In America, understand, they have begun to pre pare young men and women for mar ringe in classes, but I think that is A most appalling reflection upon the parents of those young people, Fathers and mothers ought, from their own experience, to instruct these young people.

"As regards birth control, I do say very clearly that birth control bas wrecked numbers of marriages. I am not discussing the question for or against it. I am aware that young people marrying at 20 may not be able to go on having children until they are 40. Birth control wrecks marriages because the mater- nal urge cannot be quenched .so easily. If you put a difficulty in the way of that urge you will find women harbouring a feeling of animosity against their husbands. The husband inny argue that his wife agreed to have no more child ren, but the fact remains that she did not know herself how strong the urge was At the present tim there is a real difficulty because of the expense of bringing up child ren, and, therefore, the use of birth control is having a very deleterious effect upon women. It is producing that terrible monstrosity-the.only child. We may come to speak, not of drink, but of only childism the greatest curse of this country." Men Who Won't Marry,

Dr. Hutchison said they wanted to see children absolutely break the tie of dependence upon their mothers. "We see the young mar who won't marry becais: he won't leave his mother. People say: "How beautiful! The truth is that he won't leave his mother because he

What Immunity Means. International law on diplomatie immunity is perfectly clear that an Ambassador es not subject laws of the country to which be is accredited, and that this privi- lege extends to his suite and his ectracts, i

The perition is not so clear in regard to the family of an Anbas Endor.

A claim top: omatic immunity was not upheld by the magistrate on the ground that the son's name was not on the Est of those who were entitled to claim the privilege.
