vey state That there seems to
be considerable reticence on the
part Of parents i'm answering the

stances the parents idea OF what
the boy should be is given in
stead of the facts regarding the
boy. The Rotary club desires
that the inf0r nation obtained be

in order that the work done on
the basis OF the survey may ac-
iually accomplish good results.
Few parents. for instance. will
be willing To state that their boys
have been smoking, yet il is
known that n number OF boys are
smoking and that they obtain
their cigarettes in some manner.
