Boston, Feb. 14.-The keeping of
boarders should be subject to license

opinion of Professor George LaPiana,
Of Harvard university. In the light
of his observations in the crowded
tenements of the North End district
of the city, he said in an address to
workers of the Family Welfare soci-
ETY., the boarder in certain types of
homes must be regarded as an influ,s
ence for evil.
In such CAKES, under conditions of
license or restriction, DR.. La Piana
said, boarders would be compelled to
leave houses in which their presence
constituted moral Or hygienic dan
ger. The small amount of money
lost each week by the family as a re-
suit could well be made up by the
Welfare society, he added.
"The greater number of families
who keep boarders do not do it as a
business" he said, "but merely t.
help toward paying the rent. The
homes are very small, having three
or four rooms, one set aside for
boarders. AS many boarders are
kept as beds can be squeezed into
that room. The kitchen is usually
living room, dining room and kitchen
combined, shared by family and
boarders alike. The boarders, when
they are not working, sit in the

CENSOR URGES BAN ON "SUICIDE BOOK"
AFTER GIRL Dies EDUCATOR SAYS mo"

NEA Service Staff Writer

1
New York, Feb. 14.-Shoult
books treating of death and sui.
eide be excluded from our schools
and colleges because Of their de-
pressing effect on the students
minds?
John S. Summer, secretary OF
the New York Society for the
Suppression of Vice, says Eyes
DR.. II. H. Horne, professor of the
History Of Education and Philoso-
ply at New York University, says
"NO."
Both are authorities on litera-
ture and its Influences. Yet each
takes an opposite view on the is
sue growing out Of the suicide of
a young college girl.
Miss Marie Bloomfield, q pretty,
18year-old girl of Columbus, o.,
came to Columbia University here
to continue her studies. She be-
came greatly interested in the IL
terature of death. She read Bar
bellion's Journal-the diary of a
man dying from creeping paraly-
sis. She memorized Keats Zines
II have been half in love with
easeful Death" She studied Ham
let's speech ending "The rest is
silence" She discussed Socrates,
Greek philosopher who committed
suicide by drinking poison.
Then she followed suit-also by
drinking poison.
Her farewell letter indicated
that there was no motive for her
act other than a desire to exper-
fence that great adventure" She
was an honor student at the uni
versity, had no affairs of the heart,
financial difficulties or troubles of
any kind.
Yet she killed herself at time
of youth when life seems bright
est.
"The case" says Sumner, ere
calls that of a college girl in Bos-
ton last summer. While attend
ing summer session at school,
she committed suicide. 1t was
found that she had read 300 books
on mental conditions.
"They led to the unrest, discon-
tent of her own mind, and finally
to destruction. Such auto-sugges-
ton may lead to any act.
There are many such books on
the market now. Many deal po-
pularly with scientific subjects
which lead to the digging up of
hidden motives for ordinary acts
of life.
"Such books, if they have any
value, should be limited to the few
who are actual interested in them
scientifically.
"Even if there is any good in the
general reading of such writings,
/ do not think that it can counter
balance the harm that may be
done to the few who might suffer
from their influences.
cat any rate, l would exclude
from any college curriculum any
book which may palpably lead to
a condition Of mind which might
be harmful"
But DR.. Horne, who has taught
thousands of young students, says:
LET youth see life steadily and
see it whole. Let it's reading be
directed to both sides of any ques-
ton. Youth demands to see all
sides. Youth can be trusted with
ideas; youth cannot be trusted with
one idea-neither can age.
"Miss Bloomfield was a victim
of her own idea. This first came
to her from reading Barbellion's
diary which first must have inter-
ested, then fascinated, then pos
sessed her. She became it's SER
want, not it's master. Being in
telligent and capable, she might
have esolutely put it from her
mind. Being sensitive and re-
sponsive, she yielded to it, and
then took her life.
