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. •1•••••••1•111•Nmoiamom So the 17f1 of Mardi cannot be exclusiyely claimed by the Hibernia.ns.

HON.
