Do you want your children to be sue

If you do, teach them to be competent.

The Increase in Suicide.

That suicide is increasing ut a most
alarming and astonishing rate is rec
ogniaed by all who have given the matter
thought. Suicides are indeed, becoming
so common that they no longer startle
The daily record of suicides is so great
TO say nothing of Il still larger number
which pass without notice, that the ac-
count of suicide has ceased to create
in us the Impressions which naturally
belong to this unnatural mode of death
According to the New York Tribune
November 4, 1900, the rate Of suicides
FER 100000 of population for 1908 was
2i.S-the highest ever recorded. > sui
cides to the 100000 more than in 1907
The actual number of suicides for 1908
in this country was 1867, which is 601
more than for the previous year--an in
crease of rs per cent. The increase in
population during the same time was
23 per cent, which indicates that sui
eide is increasing more than five times as
fast as the population
At the present rate of increase the
4umber Of suicides in 1913 will be more
than 1900, or double the number of 1907
If the increase should continue at this
rate, doubling i'll every six years, the
number of annual suicides in 1887. or
twenty seven wears from the present
time, would reach more than 100000
and the death rate from this cause would
be more than 60 to every 100000 of pop
ulation.
This increase in suicide is one of the
striking evidences of the race deterora-
ten and degeneraey which are taking
place in this country, and may, in Il GER
tain SeEse. be regarded as a measure of
this deterioration. The tendency to de-
terOration is not confined to this coun-
try All Europe has recently been stirred
by the discovery of the astonishing
prevalence Of child suicide in Germany
According to statistics recently published
in that country, there occur each year in
Prussia alone more than 600 suicides of
persons under 20 years of age, ana be
tween 60 and 30 cases of suicide of chill
dren under 10.
Ii is evident from these facts that this
enormous increase of suicide cannot be
attributed to physical want or misery,
The result Of poverty, 1t is an indication
Of the mental and moral deterioration
which are the necessary accomplishments

Vienna.-The courageous deed of
seymour Donahey, a fourteen-year-old
American, who is a student at the
High school in Vienna, has caused a

precipitating both boys in the icy wa

Neither boy could swim and Dona-
hey threw off his coat, plunged in and
brought one boy to he shore. He
plunged in again and rescued the Sec

As a reward for his bravery the boy
has received a gold medal from the
emperor. The Vienna newspapers
commenting on Donahey's bravery,
declare that no Viennese boy would
have dared to have risked his life
twice as did this American youngster.
