DR ANDREW WILSON ON LIQUOR.
Writing in the issue of the London News of Bth April last he says Personally I have advocated the teaching of hygiene in schools by means of pen and tongue for the last quarter of a oentury. Now, thereseems a fair prospect of the ideal education in this being realised. I trust, however, the teaohiog will be scientific, broad, qnd, in Jhe true sense, unßOotarlan. Let. Ob teach the children lessons regarding, cleanliness, fresh air, foods and drinks, clothiDg, exercise, and tbo like on a broad basis. America has found out ita mistako in attempting to make total abstinence from aloobol the basis of its school instruction in hygiene. Let the children be taught the nobility of tpmperauoe, not by. special iccures wh'ch a-e founded on the one idea tba aloobol is a poison, but on tbe broader basis that it is an agent easily ouLtributiDg to disease- You cannot impress on children ail the evils of intemperance any more than you can instruct them in the woes produced by other vices. Make clear to them the place and position of aloobol, and thus furnish a sound basis for their consideration, as adults, of the evils intemperance is calculated to pioduoo.’’
