Suicides Among japanese Students.

According to Rev. DIR. Sidney l..
GulIck, who lived long in the far East,
suicides among Japanese students are
probably more prevalent than among
any other students in the world. The
causes he mentions are, first, the high
strung nerves and exceptional sensi-
tiveness to anything that may be re-
garded as a personal humiliation; and
second, the extraordinary competition
among students to secure places In
the government schools.
