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.

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.nt part in the lifr:J of Frances E. Willard.

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 self~improvement.

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.
