he did not intend to dis cuss the matter with jill after all if the formula was in the house and she and barbour found it it would be all to her good no he would wash his hands of the whole matter the inquest was to be held on the follow ing day and no doubt he would be asked questions but he would not mention old georges secret and he hoped that jill also would not do so meanwhile jill was still

less tension than city homes ithaca ny tnirteen elements in family relationships build successful family life according to the study ol tle autobiographies of 200 students made recently at cornell university in a research on family life these autobiographies assembled by miss mildred thurow of the department of of agricultuie represent students rural social organization of the college from farm village and city their par ents being from various walks of lifo and both native and foreign born all were from families with both parents living with the children in a family relationship chief among the elements conducive to a happy family life was lack ot friction between the parents and be tween the parents and children fam ilies living in rural sections and small cities have less tension in them than families in mediumsize and large cities families of moderate means with the parents having joint control of the purse are the bestadjusted ones parents having little education are in more frequent conflict than those with more schooling as the amount of tension between parents and be tween parents and children decreases the confidence of the child in his mother and father increases as does his satisfaction in the family in the 200 families studied there were only 16 cases ot much-mother- dominance with 150 cases in which neither parent dominated in the cases with one parent greatly domin ating there was always friction and unhappiness on the part of the child ren homes in which neither parent dominates much were considered the happiest by the children agreement betweeu parents on dis cipline were found to contribute to happiness in the home homes with these qualities were those also con taining the greatest affection and cooperation other elements adding to the famfly happiness were having most of the meals together celebrat ing birthdays and holidays as a family entertaining relatives chums and family friends and having the parents attend social functions together family council greatly increased family harmony and decreased the amount of parental discipline exercis ed it also increased the confidence the children placed in the parents and the satisfactioi the children felt in the home one of the greatest factors in avoid ing friction between the children themselves was the parents open ex pression of affection for the children and for canh other the childrens affection for each other also increased greatly as the common interests of the family increased the happiest fami lies being those in which the children and the parents had some amusements and pursuits in common the majority of the families studied showed medium happy relationships homes in which there was also much unhappy relationships were largely in between children those showing
