-Supt. j. NJ Greenwood, of Kansas
City, has no faith in the ability of the boy
who smokes cigaretts. He says: II have
not vet found an inveterate smoker who
began early in life that ever completed the
sixth years. work in the ward schools. A
large majority of them drop out of school
during the fourth and fifth year. The
effect of cigarette smoking is positively
harmful without one redeeming quality. 1t
dwarfs and enfeebles the intellectual facul-
ties. 1t units the mind for any mental
exertion or the concentration Of attention
on any subject to be studied. Finally it
destroys the will power and the victim
looses the ability Of self determination.
The outcome may be summed up in brief
statement It is the most efficient agency
for human wrecks that has yet entered into
our civilization.
