Association this afternoon alcohol Physiology
IN the Public Schools When Professor Atwater
first announced his theory of the food value of
alcohol he met with strong opposition by the
strictly temperance societies. and especially by
the Womans Christian Temperance Union. His
address this afternoon upheld his first theories and
added further argument for them. He was espe-
cially severe in his denuncaton of the textbooks
used in many schools and argued that scientific
truthfulness in the teaching in the schools was to
be accepted rather than the arguments of temper
reformers
He pointed out the conflict between the earnest
moral reformers," hand, and educators and
scientists. the other, regarding the best method
of teaching the youth in the schools the physical
action Of alcohol. He said that body of temper
ance reformers by extensive organized efforts have
secured in almost every State in the Union legisa-
ton requiring textbook instruction In temperance

has also been largely able to influence and even to
control the character of this instruction by favor

which have not, its official approval Unfortunately
for science, pedagogy and morality, considerable
part of the teaching of these approved text
books concerning the physiological action of alcohol
is not in accord with the views of specialists nor
of the latest scientific investigation Thus
it comes about that there is In the United States

to build up moral reform upon a basis OF doctrine
which scientific authority disproves.

present method OF imparting it, Professor Atwater

He said that of the were in stating
doubtful theories attested facts that the prin-
cples laid down were partly true and partly false
and that in some the statements made were
in direct variance with the latest scientific re-
search Concerning his own opinion to what the
instruction should be the subject of alcohol he
said:
The amount and space that should be given TO
the physiological action of alcohol in the and
teaching should be limited. 1t should be taught
only in the higher grades. The instruction should
be scientifically correct and should, above all, be
based on plain well attested impartial and unex-
aggerated fact. The legislation this subject
should be general rather than specific. The public
should be made to understand the situation If the
