At n recent meeting of the State Teachers
association of Iowa. one of the ablest and
most successful of the superintendents of
schools in that state read a paper on "The
effect of the tobacco habit on school work
in which he presented conclusions which NAV
seem extreme and fanatical to tobacco lovers,
but which experienced teachers are forced to
accept as plain statements of fact. Boys that
began the habit at an early age he has uni
tormly observed TO become permanently
stunted, mentally and physically, and espe-
cially that their reasoning powers are OBJ

for study altogether lacking. Indigestion, i'm

among the pupils under his care he has been
able TO trace, in IA surprising proportion of

unknown to parents and home friends

the tobacco habit. The mental faculties of "A
boy under the influence of the narcotic seem
to be in stupor, and since the will power is
simultaneously stupetied and weakened il
avails little to try and arouse the dormant
energies or to interest the tagged desire.
"The moral results of the habit at this early
age are no less serious. Pupils under its ill.,

for discipline ut home and at school BOYS
that were usually even tempered and easily
governed after beginning the use of tobacco
become decidedly the reverse. When in such
cases, by the influence of parents and teach

But to secure its abandonment is always a
most difficult task, since one of its
