CRITICISM OF SCHOOL LIFE
Several Instances of Clildrens Suicides

Many are Exceedingly Subtle
Eleven Thousand Suicides i'm 1903

Berlin. September 2S.-SeveraI dis
tressing Instances Of children's sui
cides have occurred since the autumn
school term began. This has brought
on discussion of the conditions of
school and home life, and endeavors
are being made to trace the causes of
that increasing feebleness of the de-
sire to live, which it is affirmed the
1000 suicides of 1908 indicate.
Causes of suicide in Germany
are regarded as being exceedingly sub
tie. and in the current discussions tae
personal views on the subject have
generally been decided by the obser-
vers opinions on other questions. The
socialists account for the. suicides by
economic conditions, making it harder
to get subsistence. drakening life gen
orally, and throwing shadows over The
lives of the children.
The clerical view is that the absence
of faith, the increase Of irreligion and
the growth of sensual materialism ex
plain the weakening desire for life.
and that revival of spiritual aims
would lessen suicides by increasing the
serenity Of living.
Critics of the school system assert
that children are forced too much;
that they are over-estimated and are
given tasks which are impossible for
accomplishment for those slightly be-
low the standard of capacity, and that
punishments, the fear of reproofs, and
injury to self pride, push the child
towards suicide to which he Offers
hears his elders refer as a refuge

BILE number of new foci in the past

If the present rate of progress is
kept up the state board of health be-
lieves that yellow fever in the country
parishes will disappear almost as soon
as in New Orleans.
Lake Providence, which was a hot
bed of fever two weeks ago, is rapidly
driving out the disease. For the
fourth day all the new cases at Tallu-
Ian are negroes. Seventeen cases are
under treatment in the Barataria dis
trict.
In Central Louisiana, picking and
moving of cotton is somewhat handi-
capped for the want Of sufficient labor.
