OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES
German schools and Child Suicide.

German Schools and Child Suicide.
From the Springfield Republican.
That Germany is the worlds shool-
master all agree; that all it's methods
can be copied elsewhere does not fol-
low. In countries where looser meth
DDS prevail there has been a DISPOSE
ton to look for defects in the German
system, and the most obvious line of
attack is to urge that German chill
dren have their individuality crushed
by vigorous training. The unfortu-
nate increase of child suicide in Ger
many has also given an opening to
critics, of which advantage is taken
by A. d. Maclaren in an article in
the Contemporary Review, in which
Prussia is compared to it's disadvan-
tage with Australia. After showing
how in Germany the individual is
sacrificed to the state, he calls atten-
ton to the startling statistics of child
suicide. In Prussia alone there were
1,221 cases in the twenty-three years
from 1888 to 1905, and since the latter
date the rate has increased. These
1,221 cases were investigated by Pro-
fessor Gutenberg, who attributed 100
to heredity, 1913 to fear of punishment,
5S to examination and 800 to obscure
causes, among, which harsh treatment
may be included. A few cases have
been traced to love affairs and dime
novels are obviously held responsible
for others.
In Germany, as we'll as outside, the
schools have been sharply attacked
as contributory cause. Some years
ago Professor Paulsen called attention
to the almost unbearable burden
placed on weaker shoulders" In 1912
Professor Gurlitt referred to three
recent cases as having fallen a prey
to a rigid school system" But per-
haps the schools are less to blame
than parents, and parents again are
victims of system which attaches
excessive Importance to success in
school Naturally parents want their
children to reach at least average
standing, but obviously that is not
possible for all if any are to rise above
the average. A good standing carries
many privileges, including exemption
from more than a years military SER
vice and a certificate emitting the
bearer to enter the university. In
short, the gateway to success lies
success in the schools, and
thus the pressure of competition be-
gins early in life. In comparison the
boys of most countries-Mr. Maclaren
speaks for Australia-loaf through
their school days.

SKIN SHOWS RACE PROGRESS

races reflected only the reds at the
lower end of the spectrum and the So
called yellow races only as far as the
yellows in the centre.
The white skins of the races of to-
day are able to reflect not only the
blues, but also the violets, at the top
of the visible spectrum, although the
strength and clearness of the reflection
varies with each individual skin.
But no skin has been found so far
capable of rejecting the ultraviolet
rays, which, although present in al
most all light, vibrate at a rate too
high to be visible by the human eye.
1t is, therefore, believed that the
past evolution of the human skin fore
shadows the existence in the distant
future of an ultra-white race which,
in addition to its other capacities, will
have a skin capable of rejecting the
invisible ultraviolet rays

A Good Judicial Precedent.
a the Philadelphia Record.

Some time ago a judge of one of
the higher courts in Missouri threw
out the verdict in an important case
on the ground of a flaw in the in
dictment. Unless memory fails us,
the vital error that his eagle eye de-
tected was the omission of the second
1.-The" in the formula, God save the
Commonwealth and the people of
Missouri" 1t will be noticed that the
omission does not have the slightest
effect in changing the meaning of this
legal jargou and that Providence is
no less likely to come to the rescue
of "the commonwealth and people"
than to the commonwealth and the
people" of Speaker Champ Clark's
State.
This strict adherence to medieval
formulas, ignoring the spirit of the
law and laying emphasis on the letter
brought down such a shower of criti-
cism and ridicule on the Missouri
Judge that he promptly took to his
bed and died of sheer modification.
He thus established a judicial preee
dent that might be followed to great
advantage in other States. When
judges concede that the conviction of
a notorious malefactor is just and ac-
cording to the evidence. and then go
housing through the minutiae of
long trial to unearth some trifling
alleged flaw or departure from pre-
cedent as an excuse for reversing the
conviction. they bring the law and our
courts into disrepute. Such judicial
hair-splitters should take a lesson
from their Missouri brother.

north to the Parsnip river country,
and that this section of the line might
ultimately be used as the first step
in the extension to Alaska.

in national and even international
history when he secured the passage

WONDERFUL GOLD FIND
Walls of Workings Dazzle

One OF the greatest gold discoveries
in the world, has recently been made
in the Cresson mine at Cripple Gre X,

is in sight in single chamber. The
property is owned mostly by Chicago
parties and w. H. Mylrea and family
of this city own some of the sock.
Frank Peck, president of the Gold
Mining company, who inspected the
wonderful strike declared he belle we'd
the strike would 90 down in history
as record-breaking in the entire
world of gold mining. He said, The
strike is all that | have seen written
about it and / have no word adequate
to describe it, As | stool in this
wonderful golden chamber, ! was try
ing rather to figure out how such a
creation of nature could have been
brought about, rather than think of
the intrinsic value of the ore in sight.
Imagine circular chamber, not
less than twenty feet in height and
from fifteen to twenty feet in diam
eter, literally plastered with crystals
of gold, shining with the brilliance of
a jewelry shop, no matter into what
corner the light is thrown. 1t is use
less to try to figure the amount of
gold in that chamber; because it is
impossible to tell you how thick the
walls are, or rather, how far into the
wall these wonderful values extend.
| have seen many wonderful 'vug
holes or pockets of small dimensions
that glittered with gold, but never
even dreamed that a 'vug hole of
such great dimensions could exist"
Other mining men who have seen
the wonderful chamber have made
estimates that it contains S6,O00,000
to Sl0,0O0,00O in gold, and that the
strike is so big that it staggers the
imagination.
The Pilot is indebted to George
Diamond of Cripple Creek, for papers
telling of the great gold strike.
