THE FAMILY AND ITS MEMBERS
CHAPTER I
THE FAMILY
"The family is the heart's fatherland; the fatherland is the
cradle of humanity."--MAZZINI.
"The family has two functions; as a smaller group it affords
opportunity for eliciting qualities of affection and character
which cannot be displayed in a larger group; and in the second
place it is a training for future members of the larger group in
the qualities of disposition and character which are essential to
citizenship. Marriage converts an attachment between man and woman
into a deliberate, permanent, responsible, intimate union for a
common end of mutual good. Modern society requires that the
husband and wife contemplate lifelong companionship, and the
affection between husband and wife is enriched by the relation of
parents to the children which are their care. The end of the
family is not economic profit but mutual aid and the continuance
and progress of the race."--PROFESSOR TUFTS, in _Ethics_, by Dewey
and Tufts.
