50 The last Legislature made a law requiring teachers in the public schools to be taught physiology and hygienics, with especial reference to the effects of whiskey and tobacco upon the general health, with the ultimate object of imparting knowledge thus acquired to the children in our public schools. One easily sees the benevolent theory of the State in reaching the evils of intemperance through the enlightenment of teachers first, and then the scholars entrusted to them. Very many good people are convinced that if you show folks how greatly they abuse their bodily health by self-indulgence, and put the proposition in some palpable shape, you arrest their evil propensities in the most natural way. Without doubting this proposition, let us see how it is proposed to carry out the State's mandates. One of the injunctions of the law is that a text-book should be selected best adapted to inform teachers upon physiology and hygienics with especial application to the evils of intemperance The book adopted we have before us. It is entitled, "An Abridgement of the Hygienic Physiology, with Special Reference to Alcoholic Drinks and Narcotics," etc., by Joel Dorman Steele, Ph.D. It is a very small volume for such large pretensions, as its pages number, exclusive of introduction and set questions, just 157, and the prodigious task IS attempted of teaching the mechanism, functions, hygienics of each process discussed, the diseases most common to different sets ot organs, toxicology and how to treat emergencies until the doctor comes. Interspersed amidst these varied topics, we find sp'-cial information on the evil effects of alcohol. The old temperance lecturer is said to have*, carried his " horrid example" around with him in lecture tours in the person of a confirmed sot. Here we have a new digression. We have a colored (shall we so misuse a word and call it) illustration, of the "effects of alcohol upon the stomach ?
