FA lid Na NE ie hadn't oe CRIME’S CONSEQUENCES Regardless of the particular activities in which we engage, it is natural that we should endeavor to look ahead, with a view to estimating the returns which may be ex- pected, Unfortunately, many do not leok ahead at all, or if they do they fail to heed the warnings plentifully supplied by the experiences of others. This is especially true of those who decide to embark upon a life of crime. Laying aside all moral considerations, and estimating the rewards of a criminal solely in terms.of money, health and com- fort, it seems strange that any should try to beat'such a desperate game... Yet thous- ands try it and fail. They fail’ whether they are ever adequately punished by law or not. The daily fear of detection and punishment is often worse than punishment itself.. For this reason, many criminals give themselves up when they can no longer stand the strain. A criminal recently captured, charged with a long list of daring crimes, speaks on the subject with authority. He says: “T am 30 years old. I began my career of crime 10 years ago. Eight of those 10 years I have spent in jails and penitentiaries. I have been shot 13 times with pistols, once with a rifle and thtee times with a shotgun. . My left shoulder is shot away. My left arm is paralyzed from: the elbow to the shoulder, One lung gone. My body is scarred from head to foot with bullet wounds, And Tsay: ‘You can’t win.’ ” THOUGHTLESS CRUELTY A news dispatch tells of Teresa Corona, 14 years old and six feet tall, who ran away from school and home to get away from the ridicule of her fellow pupils, Thoughtlessly her associates made her the victim of a heartless tragedy. It was hard enough to bear the self- consciousness and embarrassment which the child’s abnormal size made - inescap- her burden greater by their derision were unspeakably eruel. Thousands of instances like this oc- eur, where .some physical defect or peculiarity of sensitive persons is used as a | di pretext to torture them with unkind re- We read some time ago of a young girl who finally committed suicide because she had been driven to desperation by ridicule of her family name, which had: a suggestive meaning to evil-minded persons. Children will seize upon such oppor- tunities to harass their associates, some- times in a spirit of fun, but often with vicious intent, While most parents would disapprove of such conduct, many do not take the trouble to explain to their chil- dren how cruel it is, or appeal to their bet- ter natures to induce them to refrain from it, Unnecessary infliction of mental suf- fering is as bad or worse than the inflic- tion of physical pain, and children should be earnestly admonished to avoid both forms of cruelty. A CHINESE GIRL STAR *:\@onsidering Bryn Mawr’s high rahk among the women’s colleges of the coun- try,it is rather surprising to learn that this year's brightest junior at that institution is a Chinese girl, Miss Vung-Yuin Ting. For attaining the highest scholastic record in her class Miss Ting has been awarded the Maria L, Eastman Brooke Hall memorial scholarship, and for stand- ing highest in her major subject, chemis- try, she will receive the Charles H. Hinch- man scholarship. After her graduation at Bryn Mawr next year she will enter the medical school of the University of Michi- gan, Her father is Dr. Zoong Ing Ting, a leading physician of Shanghai, with whom she expects to practice after obtaining her degree of doctor of medicine. Her aunt is China's greatest woman physician and is the head of the Women’s Hospital in Tientsin. Miss Ting is treasurer of. the Bryn Mawr Athletic Club and was last year president of the International Club. She is 5 feet tall, weighs 98 pounds, and is said to be one of the most popular girls in the college, She is one of many bright students from the Orient who have demonstrated their ability to equal or excel their Ogci- dental college mates in scholarship, in ‘spite of what would seem te he a Serious linguistic handicap.

Mr. Russell denied this, | ng, in effect, the teacher in question was efficient and he had 1 not even considered dismissal, As; a matter of truth, he says, each in-} dividual is entitled to vote forj anyone whom he chooses, and, should have no effect on his em- ployment in any capacity, if ef- ficient. i What an entertaining evening; is promised by the Cuban Club in the announcement of an Hawaiian) dance to be given on the evening} of Tuesday June 24!
