tic Temperance Instruction
IL consideration of the fact
that intemperance is a growing
habit which destroys good NOR
ais and impairs judgment, mem.
ory and other natural activities,
the leading boards OF education
for some years have deemed it
wise to provide in schools, phys
iologyJ hygiene and other studies
giving scientific temperance iu-
j structions. The Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union, always
eager to lena helping hand in
this great cause, has stationed
one of her faithful workers in
Washington to watch the pro-
ceedings of Congress. Through
her influence, it is now a law
that a scientific temperance in
struction be furnished finished

consequently they have never
realized the physical injuries Of
narcotics.
The essentials for best results
from the scientific temperance
instruction are, the enthusiastic
teacher, the interested parent,
and the helpful union.

a minister; for ssthe principles
imbibed sin the school cling
through life and in a large meas

the pupils. This Is just the rea-
son that the worlds best think
ers have decided that scientific
temperance instruction is neces.
sary along with other studies. If
the teacher is in earnest, he or
she caa create such indelible i'm
pressions about alcohol on the
little minds, that those import

ten. a strange fact about alco-
hol is that it first attacks the
highest functions of the brain,
then those subject are easily
conquered. Prof. kraepelin Of
Heidelberg University, tested
with alcohol and mathematics
for nineteen days: at first. he
thought that with a slight appli
cation, the brain became more
alert, but it soon become blurred
and more blurred, requiring a
much crater amount Of time to
add the colamns Of figures. At
the end Of nineteenth day Of
testing, the noted mathematician
asserted that alcohol in the
slightest. degree renders the
brain udit for calculation.
After ali the ways that wind

shapes, every vocation is for
God and He expects good re-
suits from every work. No other
person has such a convenient
way Of indirectly appealing to

as has the school teacher of to
day: hence the Importance of

Possibly every one realizes
the grave responsibility Of a pa
rent. Good teachers cen accom-
plish very little along the line Of
scientific temperance without the
hearty cooperation Of parents.
Most children dislike to go to
