RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas. We have on the statute
books of the state of Kansas a law pro-
hibiting the sale OF furnishing of mar
cotics in any form to minors under six
teen years of age; and
Whereas, We recognize the need
and justice of such law in protecting
our boys especially from the evil effects
of the use of tobacco; and
Whereas, 1t is our desire and pur-
, pose TO remove any and every agency
or influence which is likely to lower in
any degree the tone of the physical
mental or moral condition of the pu-
pills in our schools thereby proving 9
hindrance to the highest usefulness
and success of our schools and detri
ment to the community; therefore
, be it
!, Resolved, That we, the board Of
education OF the city of EmpOria
pledge ourselves to the maintainancs
, of the law recorded in chapter 256
! session laws of 1889, and hereby war;

toned, and all other persons, against
