No Gaol There !
In Iceland, as a result of total Prohibition, there is no gaol, no penitentiary ; there is no Court, and only one policeman. Not a drop of alcoholic liquor is made on the island. Its 78,000 people are all total abstainers, since they will not permit any liquor to be imported. There is not an illiterate person on the island, not a child ten years old unable to read; the system of public schools is practically perfect.
