college in her address at the opening
of the thirty sixth year of the college.
She said:
Already it is possible to read the
writing on the wall. In Great Britain
and western Europe the consumption
of wines in restaurants everywhere
seems to be greatly decreased. The
question of drastic regulation of the
liquor traffic is to be voted on soon in
Scotland. where the drunkenness of both
men and women is truly terrible. Huge
and enthusiastic temperance meetings
are being held in all the great cities.
and the growth of the temperance SEN
timent is very marked.
Scandinavia is already getting rid
of drinking by the sternest kind of
state regulation"
