JOHN D. E. BOAz,
Secy. and Treas,

We, the committee on corrections
in physiology, report as follows:
After having our attention called
to the fact that the people of Ten
nessee have been sadly imposed
upon by the adoption of physiolo-
gy which its adherents claim treats
very fully the injurious effects of
alcoholic stimulants, but which in
reality only condemns the excessive
use of same, leaving lis to infer that
the moderate use may be INDUCED
in with impunity. The committee
has made d critical examination of
this part of the book, and in the
face of protests to the contrary by
political leaders, has decided that
these books should not remain in
the hands of our children any long
er than can possibly be avoided.
There are texts that put this sub
iect before the pupils in its proper
light and at the same time treat
other subjects much better than
the series now III use; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, the teachers
of Obion County, on account OF the
unscientific statements in regard to
the effects of alcoholics and mar
cotics on the human system, as
given in Cutters Series of Physi-
ologies, petition the State Legisla-
ture that in case the uniform text
book law does not meet with a
much hoped for repeal, we, at least
be given a change in this important
branch of study.
