Schools For Women
Promote Race Suicide

By D.W WILLIAM L. FELTER. Principal OF h Crls' High SCHOOL, Brooklyn. NY.
T would be too sweeping an assertion to say womenis colleges
are institutions for the PROMOTION OF CELIBACY.
- Yet an examination of the percentage of marriages among col
lege bred women LENDS COLOR to such an assertion. It
is further confirmed when one studies the declining birth rate among
our higher classes. Were it not for the vast immigration of foreigners,
which keeps up the birth rate to some degree, we would be nearly, if
not quite, ON A PAR WITH FRANCE, where the decrease pf
births is declared to be a grave menace.

TAKES DOSE OF POISON
JOSEPH CASPER ENDS HIS LIFE
EARLY THIS MORNING.

Shortly before II o'clock last night DR..
Romaine, who was on duty at the Casualty
Hospital. received an ambulance call and
where he found Joseph Casper, twenty-five
years old. in dying condition. The young
man had taken cyanide of potassium, and
his condition was such that the physician
could only advise his relatives that they
should be prepared to hear of his death at
any moment. Mr.. Casper passed away
shortly after o'clock this morning and his
remains were removed to his late home
after Coroner hewitt had made an investi
cation and given the necessary certificate.
1t was explained by member of the FAM
lily that the deceased had not been satisfied
with his position in the warehouse of de-
partment store and that recently he had
seemed respondent.
In one of the pockets of the young mans
clothing the physician at the hospital found
a note, which read:
Don't forget to let F. r. d. know In the
morning, and tell him to that my body
is embalmed. Have Mamie sing a song for
me. Always be the best of friends with her
and kid. Look out for mother
The initials, 1t is stated, are those of the
pastor of the church that Casper attended.
Young Casper was seated in front of his
home conversing with a friend last evening
about 1870 o clock when he remarked that
he thought he would go in and go to sleep.
Before going. however, he drank the fatal
dose from whisky glass Upon entering
the house he stretched himself upon
couch in the front room and few moments
later his labored breathing attracted at
tentlon. 1t was then that the ambulance
was summoned and the dying man was
taken to the hospital. Arrangements for
the funeral will probably be made late this
afternoon.

New Issue of Press Badges.

new design OF press badge has just
been issued by the metropolitan police de-
partment. The badge, like its predecessors.
Is designed to permit reporters on duty at
fres aid during pa.rades. and elsewhere
where police lines are established to pass
through the lines by simply displaying the
medal-like pin. Considerable confusion. IL
Is thought. will be eliminated by the use of
this new badge. because all newspapers In
the city have been furnished with the same
design Heretofore each newspaper has had
its own style of badge. Each design was
authorized by the Commissioners but now
all OF them remaining In existence will be
called In.
The new badge in shape is a miniature of
the departmental polsceman's badge. and is
inscribed simply Press, Police and Fire"
with raised medallion of the coat of arms
or the District of Columbia In the center
Each badge Is numbered. and all are An

A CHRISTMAS CONCLUSION.

Twas the day before Christmas, and all

Rang the cry Of the children that none can

"old Santa Is coming, rare treasures he
brtngs,
A pack loaded gewR with aaost wonderful
things"
But. old Santa, alas, like a we're mortal
man,
To fret and to fume at his duties began
For he had been roaming about In dis,
gutse,
And the state Of Affairs had caused him
surprise.
For what do you think was the drst thins
he learned?
Why all the bad children to good ones had
Gone all the Ill tempers and cross, angry
Devoted each child to his work and his
boeks.
And he grsaned as he said, II plainly can
On this Christmas Eve there's no Sinking
for me.
Not one naughty child in the whole merry
IT'S plain ! must work until ave by the
clock"
But, my dear" said his wife, "you ough
to be glad
That at last there's not left a child who
is bad"
Said the saint with a smile and a look tina
was queer,
''They ought to expect me each day in II
year"

cling to a happy myth or destroy your
boys faith in Santa Claus, and, incident
ally in a good many other things he De-
lieves in, but doesn't understand?
"Why discuss the matter at all?" is a
natural question. Because it is a ques-
ton that always arises at Christmas time.
An Eastern preacher is discussing it from
the pulpit and holds that deceit is sin and
that the truth and only the truth Is the
best steady diet for both young and old.
The man or woman who would a k
from a child his sublime faith in a Mys-
terious Being, who rewards all the good
children and skips the bad ones on his
annual tour of countless chimneys, has a
shriveled heart. We want more happi-
ness not less. We need more good infu-
ences in the lives of our children, not
fer ar. Nothing but good ever came from
the Santa Claus Myth. He is a glorious
ghost, a delicious impossibility, is this
friend of the children. He teaches kind
ness, charity, goodness. He inspires and
encourages. He brightens the lives of
millions of little ones with the JOY of an
ticipation and the gladness of receiving.
He is a companion of brownies and elves
and fairies, and flowers that speak.
When we abolish Merry Old st. Nick
lets burn all the story books, the fairy
tales, and all the make-believes that WELD
an influence for good in the lives of chill
dren. But Santa Claus is in no danger,
for if the children love him, SO do the
parents. Memory Of happy days of long
ago protects him.. A century hence he
will be making his rounds and laughing,
