IS NOT ft DISEASE CAMBRIDGE, Mttss.. January 22, "Amerlcnnltls" is tho term that Pro fessor F. G. Peabody, professor of Christian morals at Harvard, applies to tho divorce conditions existing In this country. "Tho disorder evil Is a symptom rather than a disease," says Dr. Pea body. Tho primary cause of this symptom Is tho social disease of restlessness, the excitation of the nerves, tho con dition which may be described as "Amerlcanltls," and which In family life takes tho form of rebellion, ml gratorlness and change. Thus the di vorce tendency becomes a sign not of dreariness, but of transition, tho cost of progress paid in tho mergonco ot a more stable social order. Tho family Is not an accident of modern life, or a contract between the two parties concerned, but an Institution of society, tho unit of civ ilization, the typo which has survived in the process of social evolution. "Thus tho break-up of the family system means what the naturalists call a reversion of typo to conditions of primitive civilization from which the human haco- has slowly and labo riously emerged. "Two conclusions are forced upon us by these statistics: First that tho divorce movement is proceeding In this country at a pace unequaled else where In tho world; and secondly, that it is proceeding at an ever-in creasing pace."
