PREFACE.
The subject of Temperance having with great propriety
been placed in the course of study for the Public Schools
of Ontario, it is rendered desirable that a collection ofthe
principal facts relating thereto be brought within the
..
reach of teachers and pupils. It may be suggested that
this object has already been attained by such excellent
works as " The Temperance Lesson Book" of Dr. B. W.
Richardson, of England, and other similar publications.
These certainly possess features of great merit, but while
not detracting from their value in the slightest degree, it
is thought, in consideration of the very limited portion of
time likely to be devoted to this branch, that a more con-
cise treatise would serve a better purpose.
This little work aims to be such an outline of the sub-
ject as may readily be covered by the occasional lessonsof
the school programme. At the same time it contains a
pretty thorough review of the facts and arguments which
form the groundwork of the temperance movement.
1 The author hereby cheerfully acknowledges his indebt-
edness in the preparation of these pages to the valuable

researches of Dr. Richardson and others who have so
thoroughly investigated the nature and effects of Alcohol.
The statements made and facts adduced in this liltle work
are all based upon competent and reliable authority, and
it is the author's sincere hope that it may contribute in
some degree to the instruction of the rising generation in
sound temperance principles.
The valuable suggestions and kinI criticisms of several
friends are hereby gratefully acknowledged

i\ "The true end and aim of edi'^ition is the forma-
tion of character." If this be accepted it is evidently
the duty of the teacher to press upon the attention of
his pupils the great danger of indulgence in the com-
mon vices of the day, among which the use of intoxi-
—
cating liquors stands pre-eminently first the one
great rock upon which the lives of so many of our
Canadian youth are hopelessly wrecked. The day is
thus past wheix it may have been necessary to offer an
apology for including the subject of Temperance in
the Public School programme, andit is justly expected
that it will receive from every teacher that attention
which its importance demands.
Professor Calderwood, of the University of Edin-
burgh, in his work on "Teaching," writes thus " If
:
there be any one vice against which the teachers of
our country should seek to warn the young, it is
drunkenness. Our national reproach because of this
one vice is a bitter one ; our national loss and suffer-
ing appalling to a degree not realized by those who do
not ponder the statistics of the subject. Intelligence
and debauchery cannot go long together, either in
