PERIL OF NARCOTICS BY CAPT. RICHMOND P. HOBSON VII —Education the Remedy

r | INAL solution of the narcotic |6p I addiction problem is the educa--1 1 i tion of all children of alt nations as to the evil effects of opium, morphine, cocaine and heroin on the human system. When these children control tho world, the dope problem will have been solved, and not before. • We cannot expect our school children to learn what is not found in their standard textbooks. Textbooks are lacking in subject-matter bearing on narcotics This is shown by a survey of almost one hundred textbooks on physiology and hygiene used in the public schooLthrougnout the United States. Os the eighteen books widely used in high schoo.s, live contain nothing whatever about narcotics. In the other thirteen less than two pages, on an average, are devoted to the subject. Only eight authors state that opium is a narcotic d-ug: only nine that its continued use results in an almost unbreakable habit; only six that certain “patent medicines” contain opium: only four that laudanum is opium dissolved in alcohol, and or.ly four that paregoric is a dilute solution of opium. Only five authors say that opium makes physical wrecks; only four that it affects the mind; only four that it destroys morality, and only one that Its use calls for increasing doses. Although heroin is now the leading and the most dangerous drug of addiction. only one author ventures to mention it. | We need to preach -the gospel of narcotic abstinence from the pulpit, to flash it on the screen, to enact it on the stage, to proclaim it from

the public platform, to depict it in the press, and, above all, to teach it in our schools. The school is the only place where immunity will be developed in the very liber of the people. It is the only institution that reaches every child in the United States, and it is the only place where the child lives for five hours each day, for five days each week, and for thirty-two weeks each year. The warp and woof of human life are made in the schools; ideals are born there. Naturally the children are now the objective for both sides. The International Narcotic Eduea lion Association, of which 1 have th honor to be president, has a definite plan for combatting narcotic addiction oy means of the greatest power known to civilization —the power of education.

AN UNIQUE BUSINESS t # THE GAS COMPANY conducts an unique industry. Its obligations are unique. Financially and physically it differs from the ordinary mercantile or manufacturing business in many fundamental principles. v *****iMiS Take the matter of capital requirements, for example. It requires far more capital invested in its property to yield a given annual income than almost any other line of business. Not only is this far larger capital needed initially but a large amount of additional capital is needed every year to provide for the growth of the city. This need for capital can usually be supplied only through the sale of additional securities. For the securities of a utility to be attractive to investors it must show by earning capacity that it merits their confidence—that a fair balance exists between the rights of the stockholders and the rights of the consumers of its product.
