SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE INSTRUCTION.
In Auckland and Christchurch efforts have again been made to obtain a resolution from the Boards of Education that this be a pass subject in all our State schools, so that teachers may give instruction and inspectors examine, but so far we have no result. The reply of the Auckland Board to a deputation was that the Board did not think it advisable that the reading of, or examination in, any lessons on Temperance shoultl be made compulsory, adding that “ permission is already given for the School Committees to allow the use of certain Temperance books, the matter of which may be taught as part of the science or as object lessons.” M
I would urge all our Unions to appoint a Superintendent for this department, so that all may unite in a vigorous effort to have scientific temperance instruction given in all our schools as a puss subject. Napier is still the only district where these lessons are given in all the State Schools. A. J. SCHNACKENBERG, Superintendent.
