!. MESSAGE TO TEACHERS
This bulletin was issued last year, but this 19~8 revised edition has b r:: en publishP,d in a.'1SW':lr to many calls that hav'; come for such information.
Sec. 32-1504, Georgia Code 193Zl, reads as follows:
"TEMPERANCE DAY DESIGNATED; PROGRAM IN SCHOOLS.
The fourth Friday in March of each year srtall be designated and known as T ~mperance ray in tho public schools.

I SALUTE YOU
TEACHERS OF GEORGIA
One of the greatP-st womon this nation ha.e produced, Franc~s E. Willard, made this statement: - 111 believe that th~ e.verage teacher brings to h(~r work more intelligence and more co:nsciencf~ than the average mothf.~r. 11 Hur statt.:mants and ber visions were usaally correct and were fa1' ahead of h;r day, almost prophetic in character.
The ljeacher goes to 'her work traim~d, expensivo1y train?d, and shr:: hag
or not yot been accorded the rr.:tcognition for service trw.t is dur; h:3r; but con-
tribution to the moral and spiritual ad~...:.ncement thr~ world is b}yond all
calculation. At least three t<:'ll:i.Chers stand out in my m;;mory as having dr;-
finitely influenced my l:tfe and set for me s. noble goal.
Hence today, we, represertting "Orga."l.ized rvfo,tber Love" come to you, representing an even more ,sacrifici'll lov::;, D.nd lay in your lap thr:: task of teaching this generation of youth the truth a:bout alcohol, 1t'Wh&t It Is and What It Does. 11 In a day of such complexity ;;:,nd confu~ion, it is only fair that they should know d~fini t~ly the d<.mger to them~elve~ and to others of this narcotic, habit-forming drug.
We are glad, indeed, that there has bean developed a new approach to this teaching, and a new method of presentation. Thr; method and the materials are so scientifically and pedagogically correct, that the teachers to whom it has been prese!1ted are eagryr for it. !t has bl~n br:)tlrtily indorsed by the heads of th<:J Atlant~1 School System. Many groups of youths too, have re-acted to Jt in a remarkabl::l way.
Some very fine visual educational dr~vic,::Js, slides tlnd tround picturos are at the command of the teachers of Gnorgia.
It is a happy omen, too, that through the gr)at Parent-Tcach;r organizations, these two important groups are coming closr;;r togeth;f'and showing fine cooperation between the home and the school
Again I salute you, teacherst Your task is the sowing of the seed,
may the harvest plentifully bless you.
"And they shall teach my people th:~ diffr;roncr.: bGtwtS!en tlw holy and the profane, and cause thorn to di sc;;rn betwr-;on 'the clflt.m and th0 unclean."

When "'e give ,due consideration to the responsibility of th~ school in tea ching temperance, ve become more and more impressed vi th the importance of the undertaking. In trying to keep pace 'IITi th th ~; thinking and the development in this era, temperance becomes a grea t er factor in our educational program. In attempting to set in motion a more ad(;quate program of education for Georgia children, all phases of living should b e balanced I'Vi th a definite knowledge of tempere.nce and a thorough understanding of equalized conduct to be demonstrated in our life progrom .
It is just as true of temperance education a s of Christian education that it has suffe red more from a spirit of indifference t han it has from i'a lse b eliefs or op~n opposition. This indifference has b een sho'Vl1 in a general way by lack of consideration given to the effects of' intempet'anc.:; upon developing. youth. While the homes, schools and church e s r.'l.rE; '';orking earne stly to build up temperate attitudes in living, society in g 1o:ncre l i.s doing much to nullify these efforts.
Individua l lea ders should n :cognize the fact th[!.t temperE<nc e in a ll of its aspects is an integral part of education. Every life situation or problem is an opportunity for motiv&ted learning and adjustment .
A t empera. te mind that is genuinely organic ''fill grO''v and develop a s the need appeaTs .
Real, worthcvhile, livirtg is stimulE1ted by temperate thinking, temperate response, and tempera t c action . In other words, tempE!ratf) attitudes involve a goal, a method, and a content.
By the practice of temper a t e living in childhood, the fundamen to l
skills are deeply rooted. The individua l should be sho 'Vl1 ha t the outcome of his life tvill be if he is not temper a t e , for pr(<.ctice without.; knovledge of - results is not a factor in lea rning.

The amount of improvement touva rd a temperate <;J. tti tud e t ends to increEJs e vi th . the accuracy of the knowledge of tho results and hc.rm that intemperance g j. ves.
When one is learning to be temperate, he must ha ve a motiv~. The firstmotive is to have a desire for a h ealthy body, for the first a im in ed1.H~ation is "a hea lthy body to educate.. " "Motive s are' not only the beginning of lea.rning but also th e end of l ~a rning."

FRANCES ! WILLARD
frances Eliza~th Willard, known in public life as Frances .E. Willard, to her fl:iends as 11Fra.."lk11 , was born in Churchville, New York, September 28, 1859.

and insp,lration."

During Miss Willard's childhood, they moved their residence twice. The first move carri~d th~m to Oberlin, Ohio, wheri:, her parents attended college. The second move was to Wieconsin, where they built a homestead in the wilderness. Her8 Frances Willard livcd tintil h~r cightcr~nth ye'ar .'
HER AC'I'IVITIBS

When Frances Willard was a. girl sh8 dislikP-d hous<=lwork and she t\lrned to outdoor activities. It is hard to determine whether it was th~ outdoor life or the companionship of her older broth~t that prompted this interest. She liked to go hunting .with him, and later became a spl;:mdid gunswoman. She liked horseback riding, but her fath,~r folt that this was a rath"3r dan-
gerous sport and forbade Franc~s and her sist~r to ridr::.

t\lth9ugh sh3 liked sports, shr~ dislik :~d to be called "tomboy" or 11 r:3dhead," . bqt she could do everything hP.r brother and his frirmds could do. Frances did not pt;~.rticularly like the solitud8 ond lonr:linr;ss of country life, and h0r fathcr' s o bj rw tion to her riding horse back added to thG soli tud"!; but
she did not even complain.

The Willard library consisted of the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress, Shakespeare and odd volumes of travel and biography.

Frances. _ rr~cr~ived h r;r first ,;ducationnl training from hGr mo.ther, ond very early in life she becalth'! a constunt readr~r. Her outdoor activities
created in her 11 desire for adventure stories, pirate tales and wild-west stories. Later, in her teens, sh:~ developed a desire to read romantic novels.

At seventeen, she was sent to the Milwaukee Femele Collr1gr}. '.rhc n~xt
yca:r she WP.nt to the Northw.;stF;rn Female Coll~ge :i.n Evanston, Illinois, from which she was graduated in 1859. During her first week et Northwr~str~rn she
was editor of tho college paper and became a l::ader in athhtic sports. She possesSed a dashing recklesSn~SS that attract.~d and fascinated hi=:-r classmates.

She had a great conflict within h~rsBlf before she was converted. She had a long illness of typhoid fever. During the crisis, fearing that she might die, she mad-P. the following pledge: "If God let's me get well I'll try to be a Christian girl." Lntf.!r she join:;d th<3 Methodist Church and became a strong advocate of its doctrines.

After' she left college, sbe continued her education. She set up
for herself a co'I;U'se ill reading end study t...'lat wouid result in self-improve-
ment. She ..,orked str-enuously to realize her ambition of leading othP-f-S to

TIIE RESULTS
During the years as early as 1452-1519, lived an Italian artist. He ~as the son of a Florentine lat.VYer. This artist possessed c.: thorough understanding of the science of color and technique. In add:i.tion to his knorledge as a sculptor, architect, musicia."'l, engineer, and pl'iilosopher, he combined all these forces to produce the grP.at picture, "The Last Supper", which ~<Tas started when he 'las rather young.
Leonardo da Vinci, the young artist,. lived i n a Venetia.n C[tStello, a fortified hill village in the Florentine territory, near Empoli. In this cultured atmosphere thP young artist gre'" to appreciate the charming and correct manners and high views governing facts relative to 'forth "vhile character. i"1'hen the young artist attempted to paint the disciples, he ''las able to find models for the faces of John, James and Peter nnd the other disciples except Jesus himself, and Judas the disciple ~rho betray ed Jesus. When he was ready to paint Jesus his problem was to find someone JVi th a face that characterized the high moral character of our Sa viour.
On e day after -veeks of searching, he noticed a young man passing through the crowded streets. His face revealed court:t.ge, patience, goodwill, honesty, and understanding. The painter folloed him home to a clean, comfortable, neat cottage tha t radi;:o.t ed personality from the ones living there. "I should like to paint you in a picture on 1hich I am ''Jorking", said Leonardo. The next day found the young man in the studio of da Vinci, sitting, '-Vhile the artist !.'forked, happy over finding such a character subject.
When the picture ms finish ed, the a rtist asked his friend to come and vie1r,r his likeness. He 'las overcome "vi th surprise JVhen he found h e had posed as Jesus in the picture , "The La st Suppar".
Leonardo de. Vinci's problem no::v- was to find a subj e ct to portray the character of Judas, th e bE;tr&yer. Three y ec..rs passed before he could find a man with the traits that 'WUld portray the B.cti vi ti es of a Juda s. One afternoon he decided to go to the j a il, and th e r e h e mad E his choic e. He received permission for this person "''hom he hnd chost::m to come, accompanied <ith guards, to his studio. Simila r v-isits "iere made until the picture vas finally completed.
When the prisoner sta rted to l m~ve , h e turn ed to Leonardo da Vinci and said: "Do you rem embe r me?"
"Why no", the young a rtist replied.
The young prisoner spoke slowly, "Almost four years ago, I sat here and you painted me as th& t central figm'e, Chri st. "
The artist "i<:.s so amazed, h e ga sped for "lords. Leonardo da Vinci talked to him a long time, finding out the motives that changed his life.
The young prisoner hung his head and said, "It i.s only the result of alcohol."

Frances E. Willard interpreted temperance as a measure for the protection of home and family life. She felt a. keen interest in home environment and her efforts molded public opinion for this reform. Temperance legislation has risen or fallen according to the support lenders have given to her mission.

SONGS FOR TE!IilPEil.AN CE DAY

March On (Tune: 11Maryland 11 )

l. Hark to the trampling of the foe, Across thy land, America. His traitor hand ''Vould overthro"f Thy peace, thy po"ver in vested law. He'd trail thy banner in the duf-t, He'd sta.b thy pride ~vith v,i.cious thrust, And desecrate the sacred trust, God gave to thee, ili~erica.

2. Lift up thine eye's uhto the hUls
Whence come thi h elp, Arneric~., .
Tehov<:h slumbt-~rs not r<or shleps: He is thy God in pea ce an d var; .In rightt-:;ous '"lar thy pr:~.yers He ' 11 he:?r:d . .He 1 ll lead thy cause, supply thy need. No arms aga inst thee . sha ll succeed, 'Tis His O'll!l r;ord, America.

3. Gird on thy heritage of fD.i th, Thy svord and shi eld, America. Uphold the honor of thy name; Be to the I.'Vorld a guiding sta r. Thy fl a g shall pure and stainless be, Emblem of peace and purity. Land of the bra ve, .l:ind of the free, Our OI.'Vn dear land, ' America.

YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION
1. Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin; Each vict 1 ry will help ycru some other to win; Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus, He id.Jlcr-.rry you through
2, Shun evil companions,_bad language disdain; God's name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, kind hearted and true; Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.
3. To him that o'er cometh, God giveth a crown; 'l'hrough faith we will conquer, tho' often cast down; He who is our Savior, our strength will renew; Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.
Chorus:
Ask the Savior to help you, comfort, strengthen, And keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through

- - - - - WHAT DOES THE EMPLOYER SAY?
(Quoted from Bulletin 302, Department of Instruction, State of Michigan)

Letters were sent to Vfl:rious indus.tri'al firms asking for statemerii<s as to their regul(:l.t,ions relative to drinking by their employees. Rules .such as the . followin.g seem to be in general operation:

. "The use of intoxicants by employees while on 'duty is prohibited.

Their use, or the frequenting of places where they are sold, is sufficient

ca~se for dismissal."





-- Rule G, Regulations .for Railroa.d Employees.

"Liquor and grunbling in any fo.rm e.re forbidden on the company's

property."

--Baker Perkins Company, Sagirtaiv

"A very definit& policy has been esta.blished that no one who has been dri!'l.lcing is allowed to \vork. This eiiso extends to anyone report. ing for work with a 'hang-over'. For the first offense the individual is sent home. For the s e conC. offense he is discha.rged. However, in every instance a case study is made to determine the cause of drinking or cond:l.tion of the employee. We try to treat each case individually. Because a drinker or a person under the influence of a 'hang-over' is amenace to other workers, we cannot afford to take the risk of accident."
-- Ameri~an Seating Company, Grand Rapids.

"No man in an intoxicat@d cond:ition will be permitted to enter the facto;ry. No intoxi eating liquor of any n~ture will be a.dmitted to the
plant. A man who is a habitual drinker is discharged. If it is the first
offense h~ will be laid off for a. . short time. A drunken man is dangerous
aro.und machinery and a hazard." . Hudson .Motor Car cor@D.ny I Detroit.

"We do not tole:rate men who do not wo;i-k regularly, due to the excessive use of alcoholic 1:lquor; neither do we permit the use of liquor
on our premises during working hours. We cannot assume the responsibility
for accidents due to workmen being under the influence of liquor." -- Wol ve.rine Brass Works~ Grand Rapids.

"No employee under the influence of liquor is allowed in the shop. Habitual drinkers are released."
-- Motor v"fueel Corporation, Lansing.

Tile Price of Alcohol Goes .QQ
nNo one who values human life should be willing to de:1de:::1 the bra in and the nerves with liquor, and then to assume responsibility for driving an automobile upon a public highway."
-- National Educ&tion Associ,': tion Poster.
The courts of our land are filled today with criminals who committed crim~; whilf:") under th!3 influence of ;'hiskey. Isn 1 t this o. h .~avy price for th~ individual to pay? Is it fair to tax-pay~rs to have to pay the cost of supporting courts, jd.ls, chair: gc.ngs, r:..nd penitentiaries fo::.' those who could not resist the trifling temptt!tion of drink?
NOTE TO TEACHERS: Hc.ve pupils intervir~;v ltl.wyers and judg(~ s of the community on the "High price of c.lcohol. 11 Have th<=;.m, ::~lso, consult policemen as to the ~ ffr;cts, with particul~r r ~ f ,~ rsnce to accidents., fights,
and other disturbo..nc os. Some students CC''lld b\~ a ~ sign,;d to intr;rvir;w heads of bu~d.n:- ss firms as to th.'}ir uxpP.rience in employing drinking pr.! oplc~.
Scars .ill! the !~
Excessive use of alcohol produce;s sears upon the p8rsonal:Lty of the individuC>.l. Manliness is destroyed. One los8:J his sens8 of responsibility and propriety, and his sense of shame~ when he indulgc:;s in excessivr; usc of alcohol or other form::; of intemporancc.
One los(.~S control of his mind, which is his groate3t poss nssion. Intemperanc e in any form in'terfc r4~ with proper digestion and t'mds to stir up the m;rvous system and all othc:r organs of th.; body. R~ sistance to diseaae is broken do111<n and moral degenerat~~..on sets in. Thousands hav'9 lost their jobs and milliom~ of children have gone h1mgry becausE: fathers sto!Jped to the excessive use of alcoholic bcveragns.
Probably the~ greatest effect of intemperance is th3 loss of s ~lf rcspect.
NOTE TO HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS: Have~ children learn Nwton 1 s laws of motion, showing that to each and r~v8ry action th;~re must bn an opposite reaction; that when one 1 s earning powr::r is dGcreas~d through <;XC<;'")SSive indulgence someone else: som~Wh8re in tho world must bear the 0 conomic loss.

One gallon of a certain grade of whiskey s-ells fo:r ten dollars.

That is enough good, wholef;lome food to supply a family of three
for two weeks.

The extent of the harmful aff(:1Cts of whiskey upon . the body cannot
be accurately dc; termined. W0 do know, however, that the act of replace-
ment requires more building material than the process of. growth. The use of alcohol as a bP.verage t ends to break down tho cells, of blqod, bone, brain and tissue, necessary to th.:3ir growth and proper functioning.

While a member of a family spends ten dolla rs for a gallon of whis-
key, whether at once o;r QYer e: p~r.;i,qq. o:f..:time., he: Jlot only deprives his
family of food necessary for their growth and maiiitrmance, but also weakens
his own body so that mor(J. food than his appetite cans for is tlecessary
for the uncerta in job of replacing the broken down cr)lls.

SUGGESTED COURSE OF STUDY PROPER USES OF ALCOHOL
HAHMFUL SUBSTANCES OF TOBACCO

NEED FOR DEE'INITE KNOWLEDGE

Changes in law and society place a greater responsibility on th$ school in tHaching temperance, and add to the need of boys and girls realizing the evil effects of alcohol and tobacco.

The main obj >':l Ctive in the study of temperance is for youth to learn moderate self-control which will be stimulat(~d by self-disciplinr; rathor than by s8lf-exprf~ssion . . Dr. Haver Em(;rson, M.D., Columbia University, says: HThc facts conc r;rning thl) effects of bcv ,: rago alcohol upon man as at.,pr<.s. :nt taught in the m~dical schools of this country may bn brir: fly
summarized as follows:

1.

Alcohol in no form or amount is necessary to the growth,

development., or function of any normal human b.'.;ing.

2.

Th ~) us c of alcohol by normal persons of any agr:, has not bcl)n

shown to improve h ealth or tht:! function of procr(..:ation, tactation, r esist-

ance to disease, digestion or endurance or any l;Jodily or mental activity.

3.

Alcohol as a deprl)ssant and narcotic drug has a limited field

of usefulness in th r:: treatment of dis ;ase, but has bo;en largely r~;placed by

more effective drugs which lc::.ck its habi t-'-forming tr:ndrmcies.

4.

It is no longer advised as 1:1' stimulant to th.:; respiration or

circulation, as forinorly used in infcctieus f r;v.:r$.

5.

Its uso in diabetics has b:~ cn made largely u.rn1c ccssary by

the introduction of inculin.

6.

Alcohol is absorbr.!d unaltGrod by digcstiv<=~ proce sses directly

from the stomach and is carried to the br~:.in in the .blood stream where it

can be found and its effr:cts obs.':lrved within a few mmnents, if th:; stomach

is empty whrm the alcohol is taken.

7.

Absorption of alcohol is delayed by the presence of food in

the stomach, and particularly of oily or fatty foods.

B.

The first effect of alcohol is upon the most highly developed

functions of the human mind, thos~ acquired through training reason, and

social restraint (judgment, discretion; self-control; and in gen".?ral the

qualities of inhibition). '

9.

As the percentage of alcohol is increased in the blood other

mental functions are suppressed until finally the involuntary rcflexr:;s are

abolishod with coma, and d~a th r'3sults.

10. Alcohol is the caus; of a nu.'11b0r of acub and chronic illness~s. It caus'1 s a consid0rablr~ numb; r of d:Jaths, about twic r1 as many as are reportod as dUf~ to alcohol; it complicate s th ~ manag cm.:mt of many forms of infr~ction, accidr;nt, and op3 rativr, procedures, and its r egular and contined us r:: shortens lif<:; in proportion to the~ amount used.

11. Th$ chief personc.l and social dl.\nger in the use of alcohol
is not drun.keness, diseese and premature death, but the disturbance e>f conduct and the inferiority of p:::rform(lllce in the ordinary situations of life due to the depre ssion of the highor cente rs of thr~ bra in and the r 8sultn.nt removal of nec~ssary and desirabh inhibitions.

lllcohol is a habit-forming drug. Its use tP.nds to lower on~' s resistance to fatigull and disoas~. It also lessens m8ntal speed and

as a public health problem. Alcof!~l_J@ '_~- -~~'I?~t-forming drug; it has

limited uses, but unless taken in moderp.tion lowers resistance and short0ns

life, impairs efficiency, promotes poverty, increases crime, favors acci-

ch'a:f'S:cterizes the utteranceB of many good people v."hen spoaki'tlg ;:of :.t''l:ikk~r11 that it impressed mo strongly. His thesis was that he stands roady to ,, agree with those who differ with him - if th8y will pres.~nt facts instead of sentimental and unsubstantial opinions.
