The family as a unit of society has undergone vast changes over the past 150 years. Indeed, so great have been these changes that much effort has been made to clarify the present function of the family and much speculation has been voiced as to its future. The beginning of the 19th century saw the family on this continent as an almost self-sufficient social and economic unit. Gradually, however, its many functions were taken over by other institutions; education by the school, religious guidance by the church, the manufacture of personal and household goods by the factories, recreation by the community centres. What, then, has been left to the family? Where does it stand in the social order of today?
