This is due sometimes to physical weakness or lack of ability or character, but as often to industrial depression or lack of adjustment between the labor supply and the employer. There is always an army of the unemployed, and it has increased so greatly through immigration and otherwise that it has demanded the serious attention of sociologists and legislators.

Wise men and women have studied the basis for successful marriage and have written about it. Laws have been changed so that such books written by American sociologists, doctors, and psychiatrists are generally available in college libraries today. However, even the best books do not answer all the normal questions which arise.

The doctrine held by some philosophers and sociologists, that military peoples subordinate woman to a tyrannical régime of domestic servitude, is wholly disproved by the history of Rome.
