A Scientific Temperance Instruction Bill

A Scientific Temperance Instruction Bill.
Miss Belle Kearney, the loyal, brave
and attractive leader of the Young
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
of Mississippi, is in the city to present
the subject of scientific temperance in
struction in the public schools to the
Legislature and urge its adoption.
Mississippi is laggard in this re-
spect, being with Arkansas, Tennessee,
Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia
Texas and Indiana of the few States
in the Union that doesn't make il
compulsory to teach its youth the
injurious effects of alcohol and mar
cotics on the human system. The
general government requires it in all
schools under it's control.
Miss Kearney is ably seconded in hel
efforts by her father, Senator Kearney
of Madison, and by Senator Teunisson
of Lawrence, Chairman of the Senate
Temperance Committee, who will intro,
duce such bill as desired in the Sen.
ate to-day or tomorrow.
The w. c. L. u, the Prohibitionist'
of the State, in their conventions, anG
the leading religious denominations o.
the State in their representative bodies
have long demanded such a law, an6
the Legislature cannot with any shoy
of consistency or reason refuse it.

granting of municipal charters, and
providing for a general election of

The varying conditions of municipali-
