Abstract

The history of the American family for 1928 records nothing spectacular. The statistics reveal that divorce is still increasing and from some cities come reports of a decline in marriage and in births. There has been an increase in scientific investigation of the family and evidences of a growing appreciation among thoughtful people of the difficulties that marriage and the family are meeting in this period of transition. Europe like the United States is feeling the influences of modern life that play upon family experience.
