Excerpt from The Primitive Family, as an Educational Agency Whatever the answers to these questions, it is evident that a sound notion of certain typical social institutions is essential to the educator who would make education a vital factor in a conscious program for further social development. It is equally evident that some acquaint ance with the history of present institutions - and notably the family and the school - is necessary to illuminate the present crisis in family life. A review of the domestic life of our forbears really yields abundant cause for gratification at the enormous distance we have traveled and at the comparative stability and harmony of modern family life. Such phases of primitive domestic life as promiscuity, group-marriage, trial marriage, the trifling grounds for divorce, absence of chastity, infanticide, and other forms of parental neglect and cruelty, lack of filial piety, hazy notions of kinship, etc., are milestones worth while recalling if for no other reason than to measure our progress.
