Smoking in School.


PRINCIPAL Bishop OF the Montpelier
seminary has made sensible ruling
which prohibits the use Of tobacco by
sen mary students while within Mont
pelier city limits. The boys in this
seminary are from IA to is years old
ami ought not to use tobacco in any
form for physiological reasons more
than any others. Tobacco and growing
boyhood do not mingle well. Physio-
logists and doctors generally agree with
this. When the boy reaches the col
lege age be is nearly through growing
and while the use OF tobacco probably
does him no good he must in most
casts decide for himself whether he will
use it or not. In this as in other
Things he should be given the fullest
knowledge and then given freedom.
Most young men, who have not smoked
before they are - years old can be
trusted to choose what is best in thei-
individual cases. The young man Of
10 who believes it wrong 10 smoke or
with whose health smoking interferes
win not smoke. The young man who
sees no moral turpitude in smoking and
whose health is not affected win prob
ably smoke when be cares to. At any
rate this Is the program that most Of
tie fathers are following. -Bellows

Long.established traditions viii b
Jared considerably if Harvard university
goes into the ranks of the bankers for its
president to succeed Eliot. 1t has been
an almost unwritten law that college
presidents shall came from the ranks OF
the preachers, law broken now and
then, perhaps, but generally recognized
However, the fact that man handles
gold for a livelihood need not make an
absolute bar to his being summoned to
the presidency Of Harvard. Should the
big university select James ]. Storrow
for the place, it would not seem so much
out of form in these days when the po-
sition calls for administrative talent
rather than preaching ability, as it would
have, for instance, half century ago,
when the college president was the ex.
change man in the local pulpits.
