MK LIBERTY TO UTTER AND TO ARGUE
REELY ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES
OF CONSCIENCE WE PRIZE ABOVE ALL

Luokuoar, April 8th, 1892.
v SCHOOL BOYS AND TOBCCO.
The Bill recently introduced into the
Ontario Legislature relative to the use
of tobacco by minors may have a
salutary effect in checking the habit to
a large extent amongst the school -going
population of the country, says the
London Free Press. This exists to a
much larger entent amongst school
. .
boys than most parents are aware of,
end it is time that some definite action
was taken. From a careful study by
eminent physiologists, it has been
fonnd that boys who began the habit at
an ehrly age are stunted physically,
and never arrive at a normal bodily
development; and that accompanied
with the use of this narcotio. were
certain disordered fuuctions, such as
indigestion, impaired taste, defective
eye sight, dull hearing, nervous affec-
tions, and deases of the heart. With
regard to its mental effect H. H.
Seerley Principal of the Iowa State
Normal School, found that tobacco
used in any form, destroyed the ability
to apply one's self to study, and pre-'
vented his comprehending or remember-
inonhis lessons. The marital faculties
of a boy under the influence of the
• narcotic seem to be in a stupor, and
,since depraved nerve power nullifies
.and overcomes the will power, there is
but little use for the teacher to seek
to arouse the dormant, paralyzed
.energies, or to interest and foster the
fagged desires. Te same authority
says he never met a pupil that is addict-
ed to the habit who will go through a
•clay's work and have good lessons.
Ile further says:—"I have never had
.one whose scholarship record was good,
-and in about every case the deportraent
was below the average standard.
„the regular examination, for promotion
nearly everyone -of the tobacco using
pupil.' fail in dein., the most reasonable
test work, even if this is not the first
time the work has been passed over in.
class; I have had numbers of cases in
which they have remained in the same
grade for four successive years ,and
then they were not ready to be ad-
vanced into the next higher class."
According to the observations of this
authority, extending over a number of
years, not a single boy has passed the
examination required for admission to
the High School after he had acquired
thetobacco habit, and not one has grad-
uated from the High School who began
the habit after beginning his course in
the High School. But the moral re-
sults are also as serious. Pupils under
the influence of the weed are constant
subjects of discipline, are not truthful,
pratice deceptionand cannot be depend-
ed upon. A change of character in.' a
formerly good boy is a very strong in-
dicated that some habit is getting hold
upon him whose tyrrany has to be
broken before he will again be clothed
in his right mind. The worst charact-
eristic of the habit is a loss of selfre-
spect and of personal reguard for the
customs arid wishei of the ladies ana
gentleman, especially when amongst
strangers. Tf these observations mean
anything, they declare that something
ought to be done, such as prohibiting
minors until eighteen years of age as
has been done by the Ontario Legisla-
ture, as it is (vident that teachers and
parents are not snfficiently aroused re -
guarding the magnitude of the evil of
tobacco using by chi:dren.

Maybe, if the facts were sifted right
down it was Noah to whom the Irish
are, indebted for absence of snakes in
their country. During the period of
deluge Noali had the control of all e:c-
isting animated creation in his hands,
and it is quite within the range of con-
ecture that in token of his regard for

Philadelphia 'RECORD, be remembered
for the share which he had taken in
bringing about measures the adoption
of which has conduced to the political
and commercial benefit of the Domin-
ion. He was a sturdy and uncom-
promising Liberal, scorning empty
titles and honors, and as rugged in
his integrity as the granite of his

We, the publishersof "North American 1-106109,"
In order to increase the circulation of our journal
throughout the United States and Canada, will spend
this year over one hundred thousand dollars
among our new subscribers in the form of an artistic
Crayon Portrait and a handsome frame (as per cut
below)., to be made free of charge for every new
subscriber to" North American Homes." Our
family journal is a monthly publication consisting of
16 pages, filled with the best literature of the day,
by some of the best authors, and is worthy of the
great expense we are doing for it. Eight years ago
the New York World had only about 15,000 daily cir-
culation; to -day it has over 200,000. This was obtained by judiciaus advertisement and a lavish
expenditure of money. What the proprietor of the N. Y. World has accomplished we feel confi-
dent of doing ourselves. We have a large capital to draw upon, and the handsome prebaium
we are giving you will certainly give us the -largest circulation of any paper in the world. The
money we are spending now among our subscribers will soon come back to us in increased cir-
culation and advertisements. The Crayon Portrait we will have made for you will be executed
by the largest association of artits in this city. Their work is among the finest made, and we
guarantee you an artistic Portrait and a perfect likeness to the original. There is nothing
more useful as well as ornamental than a handsome framed Crayon Portrait of yourself or any
member of Our family; therefore this is a chance in a ,lifetime to get one already framed
and ready to .hang in your parlor absolutely free of charge.
