Changing America

چکیده
Analyzing and interpreting the present is unquestionably more difficult and hazardous than moralizing about the past, but as Mr. Ross points out, it is only "living tendencies that man can work with, curb or guide." In the present-day tendencies in America, Mr. Ross sees the future triumph of democracy. He believes that the swarming in of low-grade immigrants and the mal-distribution of wealth are manageable things, and he sees in the spread of socialism only one more and that the latest effort on the part of the people to control government for their own benefit. In the falling birth-rate he sees, not inevitable ruin necessarily, but our deliverance from the over-population horror, the only grave danger being that we may come to standardize the dwarf family of two or three children. Mr. Ross points out as one of the main causes of increasing divorce, the economic and intellectual progress of women. As remedies he suggests, making it impossible to marry on too brief an acquaintance, the training of girls in domestic arts, and?as intemperance figures in nearly one fifth of the divorces?
