clusion that the props of home,
religion. and education have been
knocked from under the youth Of
the country, and no firm founda-
ton has been. substituted"
Attempting to account for the
prevalence of suicide among the
students Of today, the writer lists
what he considers the differences
between them and the students Of
his own generation: 1.-THE students
today have too much money. They
are blase and bored, where We
were intensely interested. The
present generation has abandoned
most of its reverence for women
"a result contributed to by the
girls Of its own class.
THE line of conversation has
changed" the writer continues.
Serious, solemn discussions Of
free love. psychoanalysis, Metz
sche, and Freud are common. They
have taken the place of the smutty
story, but are the same with the
wit deleted. Religion, OF the kind
we accepted without argument, is
considered old.fashioned. and the
synthetic brands appear to impose
no restraint. They think more Of
religious and moral problems than
we did; accept nothing unless
proved; refuse to take things they
cannot understand on faith alone"

The kitchen at the back Of the
