In conclusion, he spoke of esthetc edu-
cation, or education which teaches us how
to enjoy, making some forcible remarks on
the temperance question. The craving for
recreation Is a universal craving of human
nature and cannot be killed. 1t Is out of
this that the craving for strong drink, par
ticularly with working people, comes.

their cares. To stop this you stop the sale
