MOST of the forces playing upon the contemporary family have made for the individualizing of the life of its members, and this fact has correspondingly influenced the literature dealing with family life. Important as this individualistic emphasis may be, the essential fact remains that a family is a project in group living, and the stability of the family calls for the promotion of techniques in the co-operative functioning of its members. It is our contention that this approach has been unduly neglected in the recent literature on family life, as well as in the teaching of students in preparation for marriage. This article seeks to present in summary form six factors whose role in the promotion of successful family living seems wholly obvious and highly important. They are (1) the family meal as a form of family operation, (2) family patterns of conversation, (3) family entertaining and visiting, (4) household pets, (5) family rituals, and (6) the family council.1
