SUICIDE AMONG THE YOUNG.

Child suicide has for years been a
serious problem in Germany. There
appears to have been a steady increase
in the number of boys and girls OF
school age who take their own lives
under the influence of causes Ihat
seem strangely trivial to adults--fail
pre In examinations, low marks, small
disappointments, etc. The expllna-
lion that some non-German writer's
generally give is that the discipline
in the Teutonic schools and homes IL
.soSigid, and life is so harshly and COM
pletely regulated, that children cannot
endure the thought of mourning cen.
sure or falling short OF parental ex-
pectations.
Assuming that this theory con, ains
certain amount of trust, 1t is clear
that it is fnappiicable to the United
States. If American parents and teacl-
ers and parents are open to criticism
it is rather on the score of overin-
gulgence and inattention TO discipline
than on the score of undue severity.
Yet, according to certain statisticians
and others, the suicide of boys and
and girls Is decidedly on the Incl ease
in this country. A recent statemens IN.
dicated an increase Of 10 per cent IL
such suicides since 1900 for thirty
seven American cities Of over 100000
population.

There should be no room for such
feelings in young people. How. then,
is the phenomenon in question to be

The director of the Salvation Army's
antisuicide bureau in New York be-
lieves that our intense, strenuous,
fast" life is responsible for child sui

ously. are keyed up to the highest
pitch and do not know how to relax,
how to take things quiet. cheerfully.

city. the hum and hustle OF life, take
hold Of children even as OF maturity"
In certain classes the drug habit is
spreading with alarming rapidity. And
the vicious resorts. the sensational
and lurid picture shows, the lack of
facilities for proper and wholesome
play are undoubtedly among the minor
contributory causes. More repose In
the home, rational literature, the cul-
tivation OF the habit of reading, com

With MIR. Hearst In office the po-

opposed to Bryan. This influence is
not to be gainsaid. 1t has a press
bureau OF wonderful dimensions, reach

this respect Mr.. Hearst stands alone:
he is unique. He has adopted the
trust method to exploit himself. In
the old country 1t would be "William

republic there is no limit.
The Hearst program is appealing. 1t
