Moral development means forma-

Don’t infer from my remarks
that I detest tobacco. I like it. No-
body derives more pleasure from
smoking than I do. Having tried
all forms (except chewing and
taking snuff) I happen to prefer
smoking a pipe. If you prefer a
cigar or cigarette that’s your per-
sonal privilege.
But I’m an adult. That’s some-
thing else. These animadversions
of mine are about children smok-
ing.
There ought to be a law. There
dering at an all too familiar sight1 ought to be a good deal more than

’teens unconcernedly smoking
cigarettes on their way to and
