ONE STATE BUREAU THAT 18
WELL WORTH ITS COST
Of all the departments of our State
non (ivet out more value in propor
tion to its coat than the department
of public health.
The State Board of Health does not
call for large expenditures, yet it
serves our nearly three million peo
ple in the State in a large way.
Our general conception of the doc
tor is a fellow we need when we get
sick. But that is not as important as
the work he does in keeping us from
getting sick. Our health department,
of course, is on hand to combat epi
demics and strange diseases of all
kinds. Yet the work it does in pre
venting disease is the best work it
does. Wc may fail to appreciate this
feature of usefulness, because it takes
some degree of thinking and appre
ciation to draw thj! line between a
malady we escape and one of which
we must be cured.
The simple rules of health given
the people in the health bulletins of
our own State Board of Health, if ob
served in a reasonable way, will save
half of the doctor's bills and half of
the suffering by sickness in the next
generation.
We too often fail to embrace the op
portunities that knock at our doore
until they pass by.'
MARRIAGE
Prof. David Seabury, of New York,
has just come out with some "wide
range" facts on the old but always
interesting subject of marriage. Of
course, his information may be per
fectly true; if it is, then he is wiser
than anybody else has ever been. Yet
some of his statements sound quite as
radical as any yet advanced.
He says "Made in Heaven" mar
riages are absurd. Yet he says that
God is love and what God hath joined
together let no man put asunder.
He further says the promise of the
contracting parties to love forever is
just a silly promise, and it is impos
sible for two persons to majpe such a
promise because love is not of the
will, hence it is biologically psycho
logically impossible.
The wise professor says there are
seven kinds of love, which he classi

fies as "mate love," which he says is
the highest form, making two people
happy together.
Then he says there iB partnership
love. Here the desire is to build a
home and have children.
. The third given is romantic love,
which is of the Romeo and Juliet type
and which flies with the romance.
Emotional love is described as mag
netic unity, like the devotion of the
dog for its master.
Then, he says, sex love is inade
quate in itself but very necessary as
a supplement to other forms.
The sixth form of love he calls pro
pinquity, caused by mutual surround
ings and experiences, which control
it.
The last and seventh grade of love
he calls frigid love, which is marry
ing for nothing more than the lunch
busket, the search for security and
protection. Too many modern mar
riages are said to be based on this.
Much hope may be gleaned from
the professor's deductions of love.
While he says that only 10 per cent
of the marriages are happy at the
present time, but some day happy
marriages and real love are coming
back in style; that in ten thousand
years from now 80 to 90 per cent will
be happy.
The wise professor crosses his own
path just about this point, because he
has already said God is love. Now hp
says "Love is a force of attraction
based upon laws as definite as grav
ity."
Regardless of how we view the
question of success or failure of mar
riage, it is certainly God's plan to per
petuate His spirit and power in the
world. And with the multitude of
failures of marriage the science of
man can not outline anything that
will take its place in human society.
If there be seven types of love, we
should not look at any of them light
ly but with sober thought.
