The agitation I'm behalf of temperance
has lately taken form that promises
better results than anything else hereto.
fore attempted. This is the provision
made in several States, and sought in
all, for instruction in our schools as to
the effect of alcoholic stimulants, etc.,
on the human organization. The value
OF early impressions, and the cores
pondng effectiveness of this measure, as
means of molding public sentiment,
cannot be over-estimated. New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, New
York, Pennsylvania and Michigan have
adopted this measure, and other States

field thus opened, with catch-penny pub
lications, hastily prepared: il being a
point of greater Importance, with them,
to be first in market, than to present a
book suitable for the purpose. This is
a matter that has drawn the attention
of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, through whose efforts the legis-
lation on this subject has been secured
and at the tenth annual meeting of this
association, last October, the following
resolutions were adopted:
