Five of us are school teachers and have never used tobacco in any way. The other four all use tobacco. Two began it in grammar school, and never finished their grades. One began in high school, and did not finish his second year there. One did not begin smoking until his first year in college, and he did not finish his second year in college. The five of us who are teachers all graduated from grammar school, from high school and from college. All nine of us brothers had the same chance for schooling, and all enjoyed the same home privileges." — Will H. Brown, Oakland, Calif.
