‘White Mule’ Enters
Small Town Schools
Chicago.—Mrs. Julia 1’. Kennedy,
educational supervisor in the social
hygiene division of the state depart
ment of public health, in an address
before ihe health conference here
Tuesday, declared that the moral con
ditions in city schools would seem al
most puritauical compared witn those
of the smaller towns.
“Conditions are so bad as to be al
most indescribable,” said Mrs. Ken
nedy. “For instance, 1 found a short
time ago that a group of high school
girls in one of the smaller towns of the
state were drinkers. Every one of a
certain group had a small llask tied
about her neck and carried it inside
the bosom of her dress. In another
school, only a few days ago, four pupils
were expelled for being drunk in
school. They had been drinking lemon
extract.
*• ‘White mule’ can be obtained in
every small town, and much easier
than here in Chicago. They drink
that, extracts aDd mixtures of different
sorts.
“Automobiles, which quickly carry
them to the outskirts of town, motion
pictures ancT other factors play their
part iq creating these awful moral con
ditions in the small towns Things
must be changed. Mental, moral and
physical effects of such conditions on
the young people are goiog permanent
ly to weaken the next generation.”
Mrs. B. J. Boyd, Misses Mary and
Bessie Fred will make the round trip
to Bethel on the Tana. Miss Josephine
Parent will accompany Mrs. ifoyd as
far as Crooked creek, where she will
visit her parents until the Tana re
turns up river.
