The third, and most radical plan of the new morality, at least from the purist point of view, will allow for companionate matings. If a man or woman, having carefully considered what may be lost or gained by a wider type of love relationships, determines to risk the experiments without taking advantage of other women or men, this is an individual choice; and the new morality, in all matters, is giving the individual as much intelligent choice as it can, consonant with social safety. Such adventures are like laboratory experiments in eugenics for the good of the race; they may result in unhappiness, but the very discovery that unhappiness has resulted is a social fact which may aid future decisions. There will be no blame attached to the experiment if it fails, no insult visited upon the participators. If the reverse is true, and happiness results, this is also a social fact which may aid future decisions. In any event, it will be regarded as a legitimate experiment, attaching praise rather than blame on those who, in the full possession of their faculties, and after mature consideration, enter upon it. The first question to arise, in connection with this idea, is that of the home and the children. Neither of these, in their present condition, are matters of unusual human glory. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s extended studies of each are recommended for reading. They offer a new and intelligent slant upon our homes and our child-rearing. Motherhood is unquestionably a great benefit to society. It is of greater value to society than to the individual. Motherhood pensions and similar remedies are steps toward a social repayment of this benefit. These matters are all experimental. It is not suggested that any young couple start to put them into immediate practice. The important thing is to realize their imminence, and to regard them with something of a scientific detachment, rather than with a bitter bias and prejudice. All of these absurd prejudices are alien to human instincts, and are based upon Moses’ translation of thundering over a mountain top. We are tending toward efficiency in all human concerns upon the industrial field; let us tend also upon the extension of efficiency to matters concerning the home.
