“If you are going to do anything permanent for the average man, you
have got to begin before he is a man. The chance of success lies in
working with the boy, and not with the man.”--_Theodore Roosevelt._
_Bad Example of Educators and School Men_
Superintendent J. K. McBroom, in an address to educators, said in
part:--
“What will we do with a superintendent who uses tobacco? Send him to
the legislature? Legislative atmosphere seems to be _mostly tobacco
smoke anyway_. Send him to the reform school, I was going to say;
then I remembered that wouldn’t do, for that of course is only for
youthful offenders for whom there yet lingers hope of reformation.”
