President Jordan, of Behind Stanford University, formerly president of Indiana University hits hard at a growing evil among our boys when he says; “As a college teacher my experience with boys who have firmed the cigarette habit is somewhat limited. It however confirms me In the opinion that such boys are like a wormy apples;, they drop long before the harvest time. Very few or them advance far enough to enter college. Very few of those who enter last beyond the first year. They rarely make failures in after life because they do not have any after life. The boy who begins cigarette smoking before he is fifteen never enters the life of the world. When others are taking hold of the world’s work he is concerned with the sexton and undertaker. There is one grim argument to be made for the use ol cigarettes by boys; it helps on the survival of the fittest. The manly boy does not smoke cigarettes. II has, life in him, plays foot bail,s*teals water melons, goes swimming on Sunday, hunts ducks —does anything but deaden himself with narcotics,”
