" ; ; TRAGEDY OF THE "KIDS."
All California is torn up over the
tragic revelation from the famoua Uni
versity town of Berkeley, wherein the

of years. The whole story ia very piti
. ful and before it last page i written
them must he a voluminous record of
sorrow and shame for the families in
volved, One young man ia in bis grave,
the viothn of murder the girl in the
ease is already a fit subject for the in
sane asylum, and the third, the man
accused of the two worst erimes in the
calendar-, murder and rape, is beaded for
the penitentiary, if be does not reach
the gallows first.
The details as furnished by the young
woman are about a bad as tbey can
well be; and indicate such abnormal ten
dencie in so young a group a to make
one shudder with dread lest other un
suspected children are possessed of the
same wretched ideas and impulses; and
beget the fear that college life on the
"co-ed" basis is not to be trusted any
longer.
. The dreadful story cannot but operate
adversely on the University of Califor
nia. It is a noble institution, with
magnificent history of achievement and
a host of livwr examples to prove its
abounding power and spint in the round
ing out of admirable citizens and splen
did scholars; but such a story as thfe
of young Klienschmidt, Blanche Kerfoot
and Frank Bellows is too profound
reproach to pass human society without
resultant strictures' that will be widely
heeded r for it strikes at the very core
of the co-educational system, and comes
as near negativing the idea as anything
probably ever will
It carries another tremendous lesson
' to the thoughtful American that should
sink deep and rankle until -it inspires a
social upheaval of amendment, and that
i, that we are becoming far too negli
gent of our young people in the matter
of personal license and accountability;
we are too indulgent, for their good,
and our own, in the matter of their
habit of time, association, pursuits,
pastime, and all the governing features
of daily life; the child of today is prac
tically independent of the family, and I

phase of the times in which we live,
and a typical expression of that na
tional heedlessness that marks our ca
reer in a hundred ways just as start
ling as this. We are gradually forsaking
the beet of the ordinary standards that
prevailed but a short generation ago, and
we are going to get our full measure of
payment for the abandonment, unless
. we placate destiny by showing a pro-
founder love and interest for the heirs
of country, home, and dear traditions,
than we are manifesting now, and re
Awaken in them the homelier, safer and
deeper instincts of the home and family,
and invoke, once more the gentle rule of
subjection that ' was once the guiding
principle of American life and the best
grace among its best influences. We owe
the young of today far more than we
are granting, and it will be worse for
us if we do not take over our universal
duty and win them back to simpler and
eweeter things.
