THE BRAvEST BATTLE.

The bravest battle that ever was fought,
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you'll find it not,
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen!
No, nor with eloquent word or thought,
From mouth of wonderful men!
But deep in a walled. up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely. silently. bore her part
Lo there is the battlefield.
No marshalling troops. no bivouac song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave!
But, oh. these battles, they last so long
From babyhood to the grave.
Joaquin Miller.

Mrs. Hunt, addressing the Congress CT
the significance of scientific Temperance.
instruction in public schools as proven
tive of alcoholism, said:
The thralldom OF alcoholism can bt
overthrown only by making the masse:
intelligent in regard to the true nature Of
alcohol and its consequent eff, cts upon
the human system. This requires first
thorough scientific investigation of the
alcohol problem, and second, the widest
diffusion of truths thus learned.
The people of the United States. believ-
ing that such diffusion could best be
effected through public school instruc-
ton, secured between the years 1882
1902 the passage OF state and national
laws by which the study of physiology
and hygiene, including special instruc.
ton as to the nature and effects Of a!co-
hoic drinks and other narcotics, became
mandatory tor all pupils in all schools of
the republic.
Temperance physiology has thus been
very generally taught for ten or fifteen
years, and it is significant that during
this time tie rate of incr ase in the per
capita consumption of slcohoic liquors
there has been a gain OF tour and one
tenth years in the average length of
life. Thorough investe ton in the most
populous state, New York shows that
the study is restraining children from
forming alcohol and oth,r narcotic hab.
its and influencing their parents against
alcohol and tobacco. The teachings
that have secured these gratifying results
are: First, the nature of alcohol and
its effects upon the human economy; and
second, the physiological reasons for
obeyin all laws OF health, since unby
genlc habits often cause a craving for
narcotics.
Careful grading shows that the subject
can be adequately covered by minimum
OF three oral lessons per week for ten
weeks in each primary year, and four
textbook lessons per week tor ten weeks
in each of the FIVE grammar years and
the FIRST year of the high school. Thus,
with $50 lessons, progressive develop |
ment is attained without crowding other |
branches, during years in which the for
nation Of habits is especially active
The textbooks used by pupils OF all
grades above the primary are supervised
by committee of physicians and educa-
tors. At The headquarters of the Depart
ment of Scientific Temperance Instruc
ton in Boston, are kept on file records
of all scientific investigation OF the ques
ton, free of access to authors and others |
Objection is sometimes made to scien-
ti6c temperance instruction on the ground
that by irjuting the brewing traffic it
will decrease the at.onal revenue. Fig
ures show, however, that every dollar of
tax on iermented and distilled liquor paid
into the national treasury costs thirty
dollars in the cost of consequent crime
and poverty. The same is doubtless true
in other countries.
This Congress is to pass no resolu.
tons, but there is nothing to prevent
any individual from personally resolving
to use his utmost influence to secure for |
all the children of his own country the
blessings of a scientific temperance edu-
cation.

Russia's announcement that she pro.
poses to occupy Manchuria is but an.
other step in her manifest destiny and
need surprise no one. The Chinese will
be better off under Russian rule and it
need make little or no difference to the
United States. Certainly Russia has been
friendly enough to the United States in
the past to warrant our declination to
join with her European rivals to protest
against her foreign policy and territorial
aggrandizement.

They Are Still Attacking Us.

The recent attack upon St. Johnsbury
by county paper is unworthy OF notice
except from the fact that the Rutland
Herald and other license papers have re-
printed the article as gospel truth. No
one in St. Johnsbury knows about a
free-for-all fight which our contemporary
alleged recently took place on Eastern
avenue; the alleged Saturday nights
spree was dispute over game OF cards
and no watch or money was stolen; the
American Express Company has had an
extra team one day in the week for the
past year, and their increase in business
is incident to the spring trade and has
nothing to do with the workings of the
new law.
Our townspeople have varied senti-
ments on the license question, but they
are united in giving the new law fair
trial, and are indignant at the malicious
stories that have beenso freely circulated
in the state press about our condition.
The police declare that st. Johnsbury
now has fewer cases of intoxication than
for many years. Little drunkenness is
seen on our streets, and the streets are
deserted two hours earlier every night
since the two per cent" joints were
closed st. Johnsbury people do not
claim to be any better than any other
Vermonters, but they do resent false
charges about the morality of the town
and are united in trying to make their
town as good and as clean as any in
Vermont.
