Teachers in Prussia Send Boys OF
Nine Home from the Schools
for Drunkenness.

East Prussia is the land Of
schnapps, and men, women and
children drink them.
An interesting inquiry has been
carried out among the elementary
schools over a considerable dis
trict Of the province, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining with some
certainty the extent to which chill
dren of tender age are affected by
the drinking habits Of the country.
AT one school, in the youngest
children of the first year class,
numbering 40 pupils, SO were ia.
miliar with the taste of wine, 40
could relish schnapps, and beel
was the daily home drink Of all.
At Ortelsburg, on the Russian
frontier, where much potato
brandy is distilled, the teacher
said that most Of his pupils
brought a small flask to school
and he had had to send children o
nine home in q tipsy state.
