scientific temperance instruction in
public schools and colleges, says:
The truth concerning temperance has
been in a deep well for generations
and there have been many logical
steps that We have been forced to
take In order to reach the water Of
truth. The first step 10 the scien-
tiac Investigation which has shown
the poisonous nature Of alcohol. The
second step demonstrates the effect
OF the poison upon various organs Of
the body. The third step makes clear
the fact that alcohol has special af-
unity for the brain and therefore af-
fects the neral character of man.
The fourth step has proven that .
drug that Affects the organs of the
body and Injuries moral character must
render less efficient the user OF II.
and. therefore. its use becomes an
economic problem. The fifth step
places this experimental truth with
AL ltt resultant conclusions in q form
whereby the largest number of people
may be instructed. that is. in text
books containing scientific facts con-
corning alcohol. The sixth step 10 the
placing OF the facts in the school cur
riculum and making the text books

public school is the most democratic
