modern parenthood. If it involves the lives of three children and the suffer. ing of their parents as the one tragic necessity of arousing the parenthood and the teacherhood of America to a better understanding of responsibil- ities, it will have been horrid evil not without it's good.
 Are these boys insane? It is very difficult to believe that two boys of such brilliant mentalities could both be insane. That is a question for the ahentists. The state will undoubtedly have eminent specialists who will prove they are sane. The defense will have those equally eminent, who will prove they are net.
 Yet we cannot escape the fact that both of these boys had perfect free dom of will and entire freedom of moral action. There never has been shown by the length of time spent in planning their crime. It would seem that some kind of insanity may have accounted for the conduct of the stronger mentality of these two char acters, as I believe Nathan Leopold, Jr. is.
 But in searching for causes, much more satisfactory conclusions, it seems to me, may be drawn from the lives and environment of these boys and the effect of all of that upon their minds. Here we find things that might have been avoided by more diligent parents or teachers. There was a pampered ex-

curiosity of modern youth in this its golden age is thing to be welcomed as boding good for the future, provided the modern parenthood of youth know how to perform the part that is theirs. Without that part rightly understood and performed, it is to be dreaded lest this golden age become a. hopelessly dangerous age and lead us to some great tragedy for the race, as this exceptional case has been a great tragedy for three children and the par ents involved.
 Then, fathers and mothers of Amer ica, as one who has spent 25r years dealing with the affairs of your chil- dren, please do not let this tragedy pass without taking from it it's lessons that you so much need. You do not know your children as you should and your children do not know you as they should.
 What are you. going to do to, make it easier for them to understand you?
 l warn you, the emancipation of modern youth is at hand. You will go with it, be part of 1t, help to guide and> direct it, or it will leave you far in the lurch. It will go on alone and without you through it's uncharted seas-leading God knows where. 1t is true that it came with the emancipa- tion of modern woman. No longer will either be bound alone by tradition, by convention.
 They are going to chart out a chan nel for themselves. But you must step

istence and an utter indifference to the rights of others, an utterly selfish life allowed to take it's own uninterrupted course, a native precocity permitted to take a reckless and unbridled path where it would, with the advantages of an intensive education more mate rial than moral, and with no kind of intimate contact with or understand ing by the parents of what was going on underneath in those fervid, bril- lant, unbridled yet childish minds.,
 Was Never Suspected
 I am sure it was never suspected by parents or teachers. In these things far more than in any theories of in- sanity, find the reason for this dire tragedy-their self importance, their self esteem aided by their station in life, the great wealth of their families, all fed an unchecked and unheard of egotism developed by an education di- rected by immaturity and not maturity.
 All of these things, with adolescent irresponsibility for conduct-as the law admits it in youth when dealing with property-had much to do with shaping their minds to the conmis- sion of such a horrid deed.
 I think the attorneys for these two boys are to be commended for their action in throwing them upon the mercy of the court. They should le punished, of course. They should be placed beyond the possibilit'' of again inflicting the innocent with the re- suits of their perverted minds.
 But they should not be hanged. To

along with the procession. You may not be able to lead. but you must know how to follow with that advice, counsel. and direction that the saving grace of experience and maturity of years have added to your judgment.
 But, too, many of you are making no effort either to lead or follow in this, the greatest procession of the ages, with your wise and kindly coun- sell More and more your children are going to make their own lives and | am one who is willing to trust them if you will only consent to share their lives with them and know how to do your part.
 I rejoice in the freedom and the emancipation of modern youth, as I do in that of modern woman, but like every fight for freedom, like every movement forward, it is not without it's pitfalls and its dangers. Those two children, Leopold and Loeb, have all unwittingly, through their stumbling yes, through their, foul crime and the tears of all its tragedy--suggested to the mothers and fathers of this golden age that it will be Dan gerous Age" only as sons and daugh- ters and fathers and mothers, in nov ing forward, draw apart and move not together but alone.

When will par ents wake up to the fact that so many of them do not know their children, that so many of them know as little of. their. children as these parents must have known when these boys were revelling in the Nietzscheisms of q love the great destroyers because they are the great adorers," instead of more wholesome interest in those things that concern the football field :?

 For ten successive days the express, the trainmen said, had stopped dead after passing a stiff grade at the Arc lerg tunnel, although police stationed at the place have been unable to see any one manipulating the brakes.

my mind that would be only adding one crime to another. It would only be the unChristlike doctrine of venge- ance trying to solve the results of ignorance and violence. It might satisfy the mob, it might satisfy our tradition and conventions of ignorance, it might rid the world of two now mentally mis- shapen youths. But it would not rid us of our problem. In the solution of that, which is the only good that may come out of this evil, it would be much better to leave these boys to be mercifully experimented upon by society, instead of unmercifully taking their lives in the name of vengeance, or of permitting them to experiment upon others by being at large.

Science

One of the least known quarters
OF the globe Is Greenland. which,
according 70 an announcement by
the Danish government, is TO be
opened to trade. Coal. copper and
cryOltte for the manufacture OF
aluminium. are found there in great
quantities, while in the southern
most part, sheep. goats and arctic
fox farms are successful.
The opening Of Greenland is due
to the work of DR.. Lauge Koch, a
famous Danish scientist and ex-
plorer. He has Just completed a
six-year survey of the little-known
country in North Greenland. Dur
ing this work he made a journey by
sleigh of $500 miles.
Greenland is controlled by Den
mark and at present no person can
land there without the permission Of
that government. The reason for
this has been largely the protection
Of the 10000 Greenlanders, or Eski-
mos. who dwell there.
Greenland was discovered in $50
by Red Erik, an Icelandic adven-
turer, who settled there. The ruins
Of his houses may still be seen. From
this settlement came the expedition
that discovered America and called
1t Vinland. long before the day os
