MANY STUDENTS
COMMIT SUICIDE
(By Associated Press. J

Berlin, May 1.-the recent exam
nations at the German schools were
again, as each year, accompanied with
numerous instances Of boys killing
themselves, either through fear that
they would not pass or because Of
modification at failure. On a single
day three suicides of students, all less
than eighteen years old, were report
I'd, and the body of one who had
drowned himself some days earlier,
was recovered. These instances were
in Greater Berlin alone.
Many Suicides.
One Of the boys threw himself in
front of a train because he had not
been promoted to higher class. 4
suicide by drowning was that of !,
~ year old boy who was shortly to
try the examination emitting him to
discharge his military duties with one
years service. According to his teach
crs there was no doubt that he would
have passed, as he was unusually ca
pablc and intelligent.
Wish to Enter Public Life.
The fixed bureaucratic scheme of
life for the average German, while
not explaining such suicides, throws
some light OH the youths actions
Failure to be graduated from school
is a very serious thing. TO bccame
"Beamter,' that is, a public official
is the goal of great percentage OF
young Germans, for the official Ell
,,,.an 1,i1nrnc tad a.,
the non-official German. He has Ger
tain tenure, a retiring pension and
certain other material advantages, and
enjoys especial protection under tho
law of insults, it being a much gravel
CRIME to insult an official than a pri
vatc citizen.
No Chance for Office.
But for those who have failed i,
their school work there is no chanc,
to become state officials. Even il,
private life they find it almost i'm
possible to secure responsible posi-
tions with mercantile firms, and the,
are, of course, debarred from entering
the learned professions. 1t is not a.
together strange that the German
youth is disposed to take a grave vicy
of his failure.
Not Boys Only.
1t is not only students in the school
who kill themselves before or aftc
examinations. A man of %, who ha
been studying legal procedure, reach
ed the point where lie was to tax
his examination for advancement t.

friends that he was sure he shoul
not pass the examination. The nigh

story room and was crushed to death

Newark, N. J., April 1O.-Captain John Hanson, master of a stone barge was knocked into Newark bay yes- terday afternoon and drawn into government sand sucking dredge half a mile away and then cast through a 14-inch pipe 2,O00 feet long, into the Newark meadows.

Major General Endorses Student
 Summer Instruction Camps.

Washington, April 10.-Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, today sent out to school superintendents all over the country letter endorsing the student mili- tary instruction camps to be held during the coming summer. Alluding to the fact that these camps have the hearty endorsement of President Will son and former President Taft, as well as leading educators, General Wood says:
 Knowing the benefit of certain amount of military training to na- ton and that in the United States such training can only be obtained by voluntary effort and that the great majority of young men are unable to afford this training as given in the various military schools and colleges, the secretary of war has decided to establish four students military sim struction camps during the coming summer to which students eighteen years old or over--members of the graduating classes at High schools throughout the country-are eligible to attend: this at the minimum cost for food and clothing and transporta- ton. ....
 These camps are of great value not only to the students from phy- sical and educational standpoint but to the nation, in that it spreads among it's citizens a considerable amount of sound military information and increases by just that much the number of partially trained men who would be available and greatly need ed in time Of feniergency.''
 The. camps will be held at Ashe- ville. N, C.. Burlington, Vt, and Lud- dington, Mich, from July to Au. gust and at Monterey, Cal, from June 26 to July 31. The University of Illinois with fifteen students en- rolled for the camp at Luddington, leads all other institutions.
