The fact that Mrs. Lassandra
aided in the killing of an afflcer

a powerful factor against the grant

She, together witb Emilio Pica-

The case of Mrs. Christensen Is

agree her chances for leniency are

She testified at her trial she had

But other evidence which gained
belief by the Jury proved Mrs.
Christensen had bought cartridges

Scientists -and College
Professors Differ in
Views. Girl Read Death
Story and Took Her Life.
By ALEXANDER HERMAN
NEW YORK — Should books
treating of death and suicide he
excluded from our schools and col
leges because of their depressing
effect on the students' minds'
John S. Summer, secretary af the
New York Society for the Sup
pression of Vice, saya of “Yes"
Ur. H. H. Horne, professor 0. the
History of Education and philoso
phy at New York Uni varsity, says
No." . .
Both are authorities on menr
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 Mario BlooPifield, a pret
ty, 18-year-old girl of Columus,
0.. came to Columbia University
here to continue her studies. She
became greatly Interested In the
literature of death. She read
ilarhclllon’s Journal—the diary of
a man dying from creeping paraly
sis. Sho memorized Heat's lines
'I have been half In love with case
fill Death.” She studied Hamlet’s
speech ending “The rest Is
silence." Sho discussed Socrates,
Greek philosopher who committed
suicide by drinking poison.
Her farewell letter indicated
that there wag. no motive for her
act other than a desire to experi
ence that “groat advonturo.” She
was an honor student at the uni
versity, had no affairs of the heart
financial difficulties or troubles of
anv kind.
Yet sho killed herself at n time
of youth when life seems bright
est.
"The case,” says Summer, ‘‘re
calls that of a college girl In Bos
ton last summer. - While attending
a summer session nt school, she
committed suicide. It was found
that she hail read 300 books on
mental conditions.
“They led to the unrest, discon
tent ot her own mind, anil finally
to destruction. Such auto-sugges
tion many lead to any ac*.
“There are many zuch books on
tiio market now. Many deal popu
larly with scientific subjects which
lead to tho digging Up of hidden mP
lives for ordinary acts of life.
; "Such books, If they have any
value, should bo limited to the few
who are actually Interested ln
them scientifically.
“Even If there Is any good In
the general reading of such writ
ings. I do not think that it-can
counterbalance the' harm that may
be done to the few who might suf
fer from their Influences .
•‘At any rate, I would exqludo.

book which may palpably lead toj

condition of mild which might
bo 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 bo
directed to both sides ot any ques
tlon. Youth demands to too 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 Barbclllon's
diary, which first must have Inter
ested, then fascinated, then pos
sessed her. She became Ita ser
vant, not Its master. Being In
telligent and capable, she might
have resolutely put It from her
mind. Being sensitive and respon
sive, she yielded to it, and then
took her life.
“Ideas once acquired have / a
dynamic quality. They tend to act
themselves out. This explains ob
sessions and hyrnotlsms.
Ideas are healing,’
are noxious.
'It Is dangerous to meditate on
suicide and It fill one’s mind with
this Idea. It may become fixed,
through a process ot auto-tngges
tlon. Death makes a peculiar ap
peal to the adolescent mind be
cause It Is life In another term.
“The young suicide's tragedy lny
In the fact that she did not fight
her way to a victory over her de
pression through choosing nnMher
set ot Ideas.”
