PUPILS FED WITH
RUM, SAYS TEACHER
Passaic Principal Charges 200
Of 800 Children Admit Use
of Intoxicants.
DOPED BY COUGH DROPS
One Girl Of Ten, Drunk at Her
Desk, Had Served Behind
Fathers Bar.

Charges that Passaic. N. j.. children
are being served beer and whiskey in
East Side saloons there and that many
so to school under the influence of
drink were made yesterday by Miss
Alma L. Smith. principal OF School No.
2. Gustav Schmidt, Chief OF Police,
has detailed men to investigate the
charges.
Miss Smith said that zoo of the 500
youngsters in her school admitted
having obtained intoxicants in saloons
or having bought a brand of cough
drops sold by local drug stores which
contain 81 per cent. OF grain alcohol, in
addition to ether. The cough drops
were known among the children as
white whiskey." she said. All the
pupils examined by her were under IA
years and a majority Of them girls,
Miss Smith said. They were picked
out in the classrooms, according to
the principal. because they were stupe-
fed and "some even intoxicated"
One little girl 10 years old was
found asleep at her desk Miss Smith
complained, She said she detected the
odor of liquor on the child,' who broke
down on being questioned and ad-
mitted that she had spent the previ-
Gus day, which was Sunday. standing
on box behind the bar In her fathers
saloon and selling beer.
"The children are so doped at times
that they don't know what they are
doing" said Miss Smith. They come
to school and fall asleep and some OF
them don't really wake up until just
before time to go home. 1t is terrible
to work here trying to make good citi-
zens Of these children and then have
them fed with intoxEants and told by
their parents that the school authori-
ties are crazy to advise against such
things"
