Every bar-room is such a school. It. is in the bar-rooms of where the young men learn to become drunkards. The mothers and fathers, the wives and sweethearts pay the fees in tears and anguish. In the year 1921, according to the Police Reports, the number of persons not previously . convicted of drunkenness but convicted during the year was 5,894. What has that meant in the homes concerned? Can you express it in coin? i Prohibition removes the means of temptation. As Admiral Sims has said of the U.S.A. “We have' shut up ihe schools for drunkards.
