EDITORIAL
Wo ovcrliord ono of tlio high school
teachers commenting on an incident
which happened at tlio Junior-Senior
banquet. It scorn that some of the
boys whoso nanios wo did not learn,
lighted cigarettes at the tablo and
Superintendent Llttol promptly call
ed thom to account. Thoy very cort
eously unllghtcd them. We agree Uint
the Superintendent did right In put
ting a stop to such an offensive prac
tice at a school function and wo can
not bellevo that the boys started the
practice in any but u spirit of fun.
But the cigarette trust is having its
day, having played most of us for
suckers during the war, both boys
and morals will havo to bo sacri
ficed beforo wo wako up to tho fact
that clgarottcB for boys aro just as
bad as thoy were boforo tlio war. Our
deslro to bo broadmlndod has caused
us to ovorlook tho harmful results
of cigarctto smoking among tho boys.
Wo havo no quarrel with tho maturo
man who wishes to Bmoko cigarettes
for he has judgoment and can toll It
ho Is harmed thoroby but tho boys
aro harmed, evory ono of thom moro
or leas by tho uso of cigarettes and
thoy do not know It.
tho rich to attend if thoy want to,
and thoy must bo kopt closo to the
noodu and wants of the common peo
ple or they will fall in tholr mission.
