CIGARETTES
SUPERINTENDENT LEE AND THE
SCHOOL BOARD MAKING VIeoR-
Gus EFFORTS TO STOP EVIL.
Investigation Shows That Twenty-one
of Three Hundred Boys in School
Use Tobacco and, With Possible
Exception of Three, They Have
Failed in Their School Work.

Superintendent f. w. Lee of the
city schools, heartily backed by the
board of education, is making a
strong fight against the use of tobacco,
and especially cigarettes, among the
boys of the school, and has made the
startling discovery, as the result OF
investigations completed this morning,
that twenty-one boys out of some 300
are addicted to the smoking habit. In
all these twenty-one cases, with the
possible exception of three, their
school work is a failure, and their
teachers can hope to do but little for
their advancement unless they give up
cigarettes. This statement comes
from the superintendent himself.
In March, 1902, the board issued a
circular letter setting forth the evil
results of the practice among the boys,
as the result of an investigation sim
liar to the one that has just been
made. Prof. Lee a y that for some
time after the circular was sent out to
the parents of the children the cases
of cigarette smoking were rare among
the boys. At the present time, how
ever, members of the faculty find that
the use of cigarettes among the boys
is on the increase.
One youth, who smoked consider
ably, was suspended because he re-
fused to give up his pipe nd cigarette
while on duty. His mother was APP
pealed to, but she was disinclined to
interfere, and the boy was asked not
to return. He a told that the board
could not control his movements at
home, and no attempt would be made
to do so. If he would give up his pipe
on the school grounds, and remove his
smoke-saturated clothing for others
before coming to school, the matter
would not be pressed, but this he de-
clined to do.
The circular spoken of contained
these paragraphs, which Prof. Lee
says are still a rule on the subject in
the city schools:
In our city schools four boys to
one girl fail in their grade work. A
large per cent of these failures may
be traced to the use of cigarettes by
the boys. Nor is this all; the boy
brings to the presence of others a re-
pulsive breath and clothing tainted
whit offensive doors; he poisons the
atmosphere of the school room that
others must inhale, and disputes their
right to breathe a pure, untainted air.
1T is resolved, hereafter, that any
pupil who uses tobacco, or whose per-
son Or clothing taints the air of the
school room with the odor of tobacco,
shall be deemed guilty of a serious
otfense against the rights of all who
are interested in the schools, and the
offense shall receive prompt and sum-
mary treatment at the hands of the
superintendent. Punishment for re-
peated offenses may lead to suspension
or expulsion from school privileges.
I'VE ask all those, especially par.
ents, interested in our boys to lend a
helping hand in crying down this
great evil"
