THE EVENING STAR, WASHIN( 1'l'l)§_;__ D.. C, FRIDAY, P-T. A PRESIDENT SCORES PAMPHLET Objects to Manner of Pre-E senting Booklet on Alcoholic | Drinks and Cigarettes. A pamphlet arguing against the use of tobacco and alcoholic beverages to| parent-teacher associations by ~Mrs Giles Scott Rafter, president of Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacl er Associations, has drawn the fire of Rufus S. Lusk, head of the Fillmore Parent-Teachers, Charles F. Carusi, president of the Board of Education, and also to Mrs. Rafter, it became known today. The tract in question, entitled Peep Inside Your Wonderful House,” is apparently addressed to children. It was sent to the member organizations of the congress without comment. At Mrs. Rafter's office today it could not be learned_the purpose of its distribution. Dr. Carusi assured Mr. Lusk that it has not been given to the children in | s the public schools nor will it be, in accordance with the policy of the Board of Education to bar such extraneous matter from dissemination in schools. When the tract came to Mr. Lusk’s attention he immediately addressed a letter to Mrs. Rafter in which he, in effect, accused the Congress of Mothers mixing in matters which do not con- | cern it. Cigarette Smokers. In one portion of the communication | he said: “To read this pamphlet a child might think he would never amount to any- thing if he ever smoked a cigarette, while one of any experience knows that practically all able and successful men, whether engaged in a business or a pro- fession, are cigarette smokers. “The last paragraph states, ‘We ought to take the very best care of them’ (our bodies) ‘and not degrade them in any way or injure them by moking or drinking alcoholic liquors.’ |'A child who .reads_that and believes in letters to Dr. it will think when he sess his mother and father smoking or taking a drink that thereby they degrade themselves. This is a nice sort of thing for an or- | ganization to be willing to see put out | in the schools through its influence, since the vast majority of people nowa- days smoke and take a drink occasion- ally, or even frequently. This sort of propaganda is bound either to make the child think his parents are wrong or the school wrong in giving him this ‘Whether the: pamphlets are being Diamond Solitaire 692 Pay $1.00 a Week A beautiful 18-K. square- prong, hand engraved and pierced mounting.

J Dr. Carusi's Reply. In reply Dr. Carusi told him that on two occasions the board has refused to allow the distribution of anti-cigarette and anti-liquor literature among the school children and ccnsequently has come in for much criticism. It till adhere to its previous policy, he ever, he declared. We are required by an act of Con- | gress to give instruction in the schools upon the evils of intmperance.” Dr. | Carust's letter stated, * the law is obeyed by intrusting this | ers ‘who_truthfully and correctly p {out to the boys and girls the deleteri- ous effects of using narcotics or alcohol- ic stimulants. I think we will all agree that they are deleterious to young chil- dren even in what otherwise might be considered moderate quantities.” Mr. Lusk made it clear in his com- munication to Mrs. Rafter that he be- lieves smoking harmful to children and that he himself does not smoke. What he objects to is the manner in which the subject is presented and the par- ticipation of the Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations in such a camp: $0).75 , Pay 50c a Week t | protection, met at the Interior Depart- EXPERTS 10 STUDY CHILD RECREATION Physical Training Also Sub- ject for Inquiry of White House Group.
