Portland teachers association.

After the report of the secretary the presi-
dent, Mr.. fash, introduced as the speaker of
the evening, Mr.. Volney Is. Cushing
who took for his subject, Scientific
temperance instruction" He said that this
is an age of scientific investigation. People
are not content with anything short of this.
The ancients drank freely because they were
ignorant of the evil effects of drinking. They
studied not the results it had upon the
human system, from a scientific standpoint.
Ignorance, he claimed, increases drunken
ness, and for this reason, if for no other,
should scientific temperance instruction be
given in our schools If faithfully executed
it would reduce the number of
drunkards to a were minimum. He then
spoke of a number of experiments made by
certain eminent physicians upon both men
and animals, with alcohol. showing the in
jury of its use, to the blood, the stomach, the
liver and the brain. When taken in large
quantities it often produces death, and in
small quantities it Injuries the whole system.
He showed that taken as beverage it is al
ways injurious, both to the physical as well
as the mental stength of the man. His
lecture was very interesting and eloquent.
After extending to the speaker vote of
thanks, the meeting was adjourned.
