STUDENTS SUICIDES It
BLAMED EXAMINATIONS
BERLIN, May 28. (/P)— A wave of
studeni suicides during the spring
high school and university examina
tions has precipitated a controversy
between parents and educators in re
gard to abolition of written semes
ter tests. More than 20 students,
principally boys, are known to have
killed themselves in Berlin alone in
the last month. The Ministry of Ed
ucation blames parents for a majori
ty of the deaths because it believes
children are too severely disciplined
grade. Parents and some educators
at home for failure to make the
contend, however, that examinations
are the root of the evil.
RUMANIAN ROYAL HEIR
LEADS SERIOUS LIFE
BUCHAREST, May 28. (JP)—Life
is not one round of rolling hoops and
making mud-pies with little Prince
Michel, who is due to rule Rumania
when he reaches man’s estate.
Michel already has tutors teaching
him things a young prince ought to
know and he has to make official
visits just like an adult. Whenever
his mother opens a hospital ward for
children, r attends some charity
event which concerns the welfare of
, young boys and girls Michel has to
go along.
For winter or summer
