...suicide"--and there will be those who will deny that he has failed --is in his segregating a student from the general classification of youth. Education, however profound, however inspiring, can never hope to cope with the vagaries of the adolescent mind. In the nineteenth century it was called mal de siecle, mal de Rene, Werther-sickness--any number of names.

Buckner, who traced $40,000 worth of bonds given by Herr Merton to the late John T King to the Midland National Bank of Washington Court House, Ohio, of which Mal S. Daugherty, the onetime (1921-24) Attorney General's brother, is president. Mr. Buckner then offered evidence that these bonds had been converted into cash, then handed over to Harry M. Daugherty...
