Causes of Domestic Discord

There were 3,883 persons arraigned in the “Domestic Relations Court” of New York City during the year 1911. In commenting on these cases [[FIGURE]] Miss Rose McQuade, the probation officer of the courts, said:
“The chief source of discord between married people that sends them to our court is the mother-in-law. The second source of trouble is drinking on the part of the husband, and slovenliness on the part of the wife. But underneath it all is the vital fact that the average weekly wage of the men arraigned here is between ten and twelve dollars.”
