found that very often tho older boys start
the younger children on their path to ruin.
"Many of tho scnooi emiuren m rcura
as backward and mentally deficient nro In
reillty as bright as any other average
child, but their brains havo become dulled
by usage of heroin or cocaine.
"We must find a -way to keep drugs from
our school children."
Here Doctor Baldl denounced the so
called reduction treatment which unscrupu
lous physicians In this Iclty have used to
cloak their sale of drugs to "dope" fiends.
"This alleged reduction treatment." he
ula, 'Is a miserable farce a farco which
should be stopped for the sake of the youth
of our city. We must cut out drugs alto
gtthei Let tho addicts do without them;
that Is the only safo method."
Doctor Baldl epoko In a symposium on
the "Ravages of tho Drug Evil."
UPPBTt CLASSES AFFECTED
Dr. Francis X. Dercum said tho drug
habit was found mostly In tho "upper and
middle classes." This was denied by Doctor
Baldl, who declared that all classes, tha
lawyer, doctor, business man and street
tamln furnish addicts to tho habit.
United States District Attorney Francis
Fisher Kane, who more than a year ago
appointed a citizens' committee to Investi
gate the narcotic drug habit In Philadel
phia, advocated legislation -with "teeth" ns
the only real solution of the problem.
"All States, Including Pennsylvania," he'
slid, "should enact drastic legislation and
then follow this up with rigid Federal
laws."
