“Marriage” Schools

Liverpool Vicar Plans To ' Prepare Young Lovers For Family Life “Dominion” Special Service—By Air Mall. ; Loudon, March 5. THE Rev. Eric Treacy, a 35-year-old A Liverpool vicar, plans to establish f I “marriage” schools to teach young lovers how to solve the problem of , • married life. Ignorance is the chief reason for so many romances ending in the Divorce Court, he says, and he believes that his scheme will defeat ignorance by providing young couples with a skilfully prepared code for living. Jiliis code would be drawn up.by district panels . composed of doctors, clergymen, social ■ workers and psychologists. Mr. Treacy, a handsome fair-haired giant, describing his plan this week, said: —“A religious and moral scepti- ; cism which is paralysing life throughnovelty wears off their adventure they out the world to-day is probably due to * unhappiness in the homes of the people -■ rather than to any intellectual cause “Too many young lovers regard mar- < riage as a thrilling romance. When the have no foundation left on which to build a happy married life. “The marriage school would prepare lovers for every aspect of family life. Couples would be advised to attain certain qualifications and standards.”
