This Is a move that could well be emulated In other high schools of the northwest. It Is doubtful If mok Ing prevail any more at Eugene than elsewhere. Olgurette smoking and the use of to. bacco In general Is a vice that should be kept out of the schools. Especially hould It be rigidly under the bun In hie" schools and In the grades. In colleges and universities more latitude Is allowed, yet even there the UHe of tobacco Is frowned upon. The UHe of tobacco will stunt the In tellect of a student and it will injure him physically. The student who smoke cigarettes or uses tobacco In any other form cannot be the student be would be otherwise. He cannot be a good athle's If he use tobacco to excess nor can he do full Justice to his school work. -'. ' If after a man is fully grown he de sires to use tobacco that J another .matter. But In high ehools, where character is in the mouUW.where stu dents are being fitted,' morally, men tally and physically, for their places in the world tobacco should be bar red. School faculties make no mistake In demanding that students leave to bacco alone. If they are wise and practical they will do that very thing.
