New Temperance Movement Pupils of Temperance
Coal Shipments V,cttm of the Riots
The Markets, &c.
One OF the greatest curses with which this coun-
try is afflicted Is that selfish, grasping spirit, that
would convert into religious or political capital,
every movement set on foot for the Improvement
and ameioraton of the masses. The wings and
the democrats alike sought to control the Irish
Repeal Clubs and We all know, that during
Father Mathews first visit to Boston, the abolition
lists tried, but tried in vain, to make him an ennis
fary of their froth and fanatcism. 1t now seems
that the great temperance movement, which has
been increasing in force and volume with each sue
ceedmg year, wants re-modeng and re-organ-
Using. 1t is not enough, that through the efforts Of
the temperance men dram-drnkng has become
Questionable, and therefore shunned-that thou
sands OF drunkaTds have been reclaimed and made
good members OF society-and that the rising
generation have been so carefully looked AFTER that
there Is no great danger OF their falling INTO the
excuses of their fathers, grandiathers and fore
fathers. Most philanthroplsts would be satisfied
with the amount of good thus accomplished, and
likely to be accomplished but not so with few
OF the Philadelphia phlanthroplsts of the teetotal
school. They have issued an address to the public
proposing new temperance organization, TO be
called the Pupils of Temperance Or, In other
words, they propose to establish temperance schools
ana temperance cOllegeS-tO drench with COUPONS
drauPhts of water, the tender bud and the young
sapllDg, the toddlIng child, the overgrown school
boy, and the smooih-aced, long-haired student.
There is such thing as being Jealous not
according 10 knowledge; ard we much fear
that by making hydraulics the most promine nj
feature IN this new system OF education, a
contrary effect would be produced from that
which was originally intended Men are not
going TO abstain from the OF stimulating drinks
because they were taught temperance lessons at
school and college. II their habus are not GO
vemed by settl,d and well established principles,
all the lessons they have acquired and all the
pledges they have signed, amount 10 nothing IN
the way Of restraint. Besides, what is the matter
with our common and select schools and colleges ?
Is temperance at discount at any of these estab-
hshmenis, or have our teachers and professors
failed 10 nculcate IN the minds OF those entrusted
TO their care the great principles Of morality, and
which, OF course, includes temperance IN the most
comprehensive sense of the wordl This new or
ganization do good, and may do much ms
chief; for as long our public schools re con-
Quoted in the admirable manner IN which they are
now conducted, we want no Pupils OF Temper
nnce."
