Σελίδα 61 - ... polytechnic schools who smoked cigarettes and those who did not, in scholarship, as shown by their respective class standings, was so great that the government prohibited absolutely the use of tobacco in all government schools. Dr. Stuvers says, speaking of the effect of tobacco on the moral nature: " The use of tobacco has a peculiarly demoralizing effect on the moral nature of the young.
