Narconon, a non-profit organization which concentrates on methods of rehabilitating drug users and criminals, has announced plans to deliver a series of free drug education and prevention seminars to Los Angeles school children in the fall.

According to Mary Drusts, director of the Hollywood-based national Narconon office and the mother of three teen-age children, “While we as parents puzzle over and sometime rail at the failures of education, we also must take a good look at one of the major factors to its over-all decline—that of drug use among students.

“Statistics show the use of drugs to be increasing among junior high and high school students; other statistics show the literacy level and Scholastic Aptitude Test scores of students are on a marked decline. It is not hard to draw a parallel, especially when one knows the lingering effects drugs have on an individual’s ability to concentrate,” she said.
