Dueling in German
Universities May Be Banned.

Adolf Schleicher at Munich. these
'Mensuren," or fencing matches, are
said TO date from the middle ages, when
1t was the custom for gentlemen to wear
rapierS or small swords as part Of their
, costumes. Naturally, with arms so close
at hand, there was temptation to use
them, and proficiency In the gentle art
Of murder-for sufficient provocation, of
course-became not only the distin-
gushing mark Of the gentleman, but,
later on, Of the scholar. Students, al
ways eager to emulate the attributes,
and particularly to initiate the vices, of
manhood in their immaturity, were not
slow to usurp the prerogativeS Of the
dueling code, and from the middle Of
the sixteenth century 1t has been an
institution in German universities, par
ticularly at Heidelberg.
Many of these contests, In former
years, resulted fatally, though such was
not the intention. They were generally
engaged in only as trials of skill, cour-
age and endurance, and participant
was adjudged victor or vanquished
simply upon having escaped or Sus-
tanned certain superficial wounds. In
such form student duels have been per-
petuated until the present day, and In
Germany have largely taken the place
Of pugfistic encounters, wrestling and
other more or less violent masculine
sports.

So, deeply thinking, he set up the
Juvenile Court. That was not so bad.
The prime misconduct Of the man ap-

difficulties. And he helped them, some
times throwing away the sacrosanct
attitudes and gestures that Justice is
expected to assume. Lindsey couldn't
always wait for this slow-moving lady

Starve meanwhile, or meet some other
consuming hunger. And SO the unwise
man took turn against tradition. He
should have known better. Even that
might have been forgiven had he been
content with scraping on the surface
suffering of his children. But, no, he
had to pry into the causes Of so much
of undeserved misery.
And in no time at all this hunt led
him to marriage. To the haste, in
which it is embraced. To the manifest
unftness of the partnership In so many
instances. To the sordid life that mat
rimony discloses, largely because of
ignorance. Nobody In the world would
disagree with the man up to this point.
