HERE is A TOWN WITH CASH.
A CASE OF A GIRL.

a GIRL in a neighboring city shot herself
the other day. She had not got along
very well in her school studies. She feared the
examination that awful thing that frequently
friehtens girls and boys. She feared that she
should fail in her examination and that she
should be Inundated before her fellow students
that they might jbe and jeer her and tell her
that she was dull or stupid. And this young
girl in her distress had apparently no one to
comfort her because the reports say she was
forced to stay at school. And SO this young
girl shot herself tried to commit suicide wanted
to die at time when she should have been full
of life and vigor and hope. She seems to have
been in the atmosphere of the devotees OF an
Educational Moloch, of those who believe that
If the little ones at our schools are able to take
up all the stuff that the teachers force into
them that if they are smart and bright and learn
their book lessons we'll their success in the
world is assured--that they will be able to
"make money.
Ii this girl had only had some one to sympa-
thize with her to tell her that because she could
not learn things at school as well as some OF
her companions did she need not dispair of get
ting along in the world her distress might have
been relieved They might have told her that
when she became a young woman some young
man would not think less of her because she
was not on the honor list at school. II she
had been told that. she might not have become
so despondent, might not have been weary OF
lie
She might have been informed that many a
fellow who is backward in school becomes sue
cessfu in after life, reunion of any college
class will show OF course, no boy or girs
should loaf" in school But isn't there some
thing wrong in a school management that per
mts a sensitive young girl, evidently willing to
learn but incapable OF high standing in the
class to be driven even to thoughts of suicide?
Perhaps that girl was suffering from some
defect Would not medical scrutiny OF
school children to find out whether there are any
detectives prevent such instances as that we
speak of? Higher class teachers say so, but the
: public doesn't require such medical examinations
in our schools because the public doesn't think
much about the matter and because Boards OF
Public Education in cities often contain some
men who are more fitted to drive team of mules
on the planet Jupiter than they are to direct the
education of youth.

has pretended to do things as one paper puts it,

souri,. This is interesting from the fact that in
state with so large city as ST. Louis has
there been an effort for statewide prohibition.
hibiton is said 10 be the result of political quar-
reling. The big brewers of ST. Louis are Re-
publicans and active supporters of the party and
the Democrats in the Legislature are getting
even with them for their activity in politics.
The statewide constitutional amendment was
ordered to be engrosscd in the lower house of
the Missouri Legislature by a vote of 80 to As,

to statewide prohibition would be short one
