Suicide and Seif.ControI


The frequency of suicides is notable
and is believed to be very often due
to the sudden impulse of those who
have never learned to control their
feelings or passions. These persons

revulsions of feeling, and the effect OF
an imperfect control OF the will is
that the dogs of passion slip their
leash and lead the way to selt-de.
struction. The control of the will is
one of the great things to be done by
any one, and it is one OF the things to
be done III childhood. The example
of a mother is commended who plung.
ed the head of rebellious child into
cold water when he persistently dis
obeyed her. The fight for liberty is
sharp and strong. The mother kept
the head under water as long as she
dared two, but the moment the child
could grasp for breath he breathed
defiance. Three times did the head

time that the mother secured an
obedient son. She taught HIM to
obey her, and in doing that he learn
ed to control himself. 1t is believed
that there wonli be far fewer suicides,

The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some OF the birthmarks
peculiar to the African race. The

of q higher culture. Especially is this
noticeable in the towns where con-
tact with the whites shows its effect.
The flatnosed, kinkyheaded negro is
passing away and becoming an I'M

the change. Among the females, long
hair OF that peculiar woody appear

are the rule.
