SLAUGEXHOl'P Past President Provo P.-T. A. Council The great purpose for the organization or-ganization of Parent - Teacher work, was education. The field of health has been timely, and much splendid service has been given by the betterment of health conditions condi-tions among the children. Study and use of narcotics has long been a definite part in that great field of health. Today there is a vice which is spreading and is becoming very seiious in America. What part may parents and teachers play toward to-ward fighting for its suppression ? 1- -To present sane and authentic authent-ic information. 2 - To impress our youth of the seriousness of this menace. 3- -To fortify our youth that they may intelligently avoid contact con-tact with it. 4- To help to educate our youth that they will join the crusade against the Marihuana menace. Mari'huana, (Indian hemp) is a poisonous weed. From the dried flowering tops and leaves is extracted ex-tracted a soft brown resin which contains a dangerous narcotic principle called cannabinol. It is the oldest known narcotic drug in Turkey. It is cultivated and grows wild on practically every continent. It has been found growing in almost every state in the United States. In some states itis cultivated for commercial purposes. It is especially serious because it is being carried as a new habit to circles which heretofore were not contaminated. It is making dangerous inroads in our cities among the youth, so many of whom are already cigaret smokers smok-ers and easy victims to a new kick and thrill" habit. In one of bur cities out of 450 persons 125 were Marihuana addicts all of whom were between 18 and 31 years of age. Out oi 37 murderers, 17 were addicted to the use of Marihuana. About one out of four of all persons arrested in the city were Man'nuana addicts. In the city of New York alone 37,000 pounds of Marihuana plants were destroyed in 1936. The arrests ar-rests increased to 1 ltimes as many in 1935 as in 1929. Marihuana is a most virile and powerful stimulant. The physiological physio-logical effect of this drug produces pro-duces a peculiar psychic exaltation and derangement of the central nervous system. The narcotic content con-tent decreases the rate of heart beat, and causes irregularity of the pulse. Prolonged use frequently develops de-velops a delirious rage which sometimes leads to high crimes hence "killer drug" as it is sometimes some-times called. The 'habitual use of this drug always causes a very marked mental deterioration and sometimes produces insanity. Its effects upon character and morality moral-ity are even more devastating. The victim undergoes such moral degeneracy de-generacy that he will lie and steal without scruple. Marihuana sometimes gives man the lust to kill unreasonaDiy and without motive. Writers estimate that throughout through-out the world there are some two hundred million people who consume con-sume Marihuana or its preparations. prepara-tions. As narents and citizens the time to act is NOW. Let us become educated on the evil results of the use of Marihuana. Then let us help our youth. They will refuse to use the noxious drug provided they are efficiently educated against the evil consequences of such addiction. Material may be secured from the International Narcotic Education Educa-tion association. 995 South Western West-ern Ave., Los Angeles, California.

SLAVGENHOUP The above question is often asked by members and especially associations that have failed to see the real vision of parent-teacher work. There are many answers to this question. A few I have listed below be-low : This great national movement is playing a prominent part in education today. So it s'nould give courage to a local association to experience the inspiration of joining join-ing with more than 20.000 other associations all working unitedly together for the welfare of all children. It gives us courage to know we are united with 2.000.000 parents and teachers in the United States, and that unitedly we can secuie for our children the things they heed. Why belong to the state and national? na-tional? It gives us courage, and inspiration. Today in a world of conflicting emotions, to be numbered with the state and national gives a sense of security and safety. It is unsafe today to travel alone a road so broad. There is safety in numbers, all working foi t'ne .same ideals. There is safety and ease" by following fol-lowing the path that has been blazed by others. The sign posts are placed along the way so that now even the humblest individual may receive wonderful help from experts in every field of child we ll a re. By following tile tiails blazed by others, we need not waste time living to lmd our way. We have the privdejze of the organization I and information that experience j ha - proved tnu- an. I "nelpful. To belong to the stae and 11:1 tioiial we can really economize in time, efforts, success, and money. We pay 25 cents to belong be-long to a great national movement. move-ment. To get the same results alone, would cost very much money, time and effort. The parent-tepcher association which does not neiong lo the state and national is like a man traveling without a destination. It is said "where there is no vision the people perish." There can be no teal vision in parent-teacher woi k where one is blindly following follow-ing a trail without the sign posts to lead the way. Let us Inen become a part of that great light which is sending forth its beams into all parts of our country. Let u rededicate our lives and our associations for the good of all children everywhere every-where they may be. To belong then to the State and National Congress of Parent-Teachers Parent-Teachers is to build courage, safety, safe-ty, ease, economy and experience. Springville Names P.-T. A.
