The “Times” Budapest correspondent says :—Within forty eight hours, four schoolboys, aged fifteen to eighteen, committed suicide owing to bad marks on their school certificates. Two shot themselves dead before the Professor, causing a panic among their classmates. A third after wandering thirty-six hours in the woods shot himself, and a fourth fatally threw himself under a train. A fifth jumped into the Danube but was rescued. Parents are anxious for the fate of other missing boys who received bad marks.
