Suicide Amonc German Children.

Why do 30 many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there Is no dispute about
the fact Indeed, II has been said that
the majority OF suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know If any of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid scott. phenomena as that of
child suicide.
