Sponsors for the domestie relations court, who in- clude many persons prominent in the city, contend that it is not only fea- sible and in lige with modern thought, but is becoming an ahsolute necessity.

The environment there, it is argued, is unfit for many of those appearing in domestic trouble cases. These magistrates, though hest- intentioned, cannot do justice to the cases, and, besides, many of the cases can be amicably adjusted if the pro- per facilities for consideration yo quiry are at hand.
