TEACHING THE CHILDREN.

The Wine Dealer's Gazette says: "The worthy German who takes his beer with his family in the evening, will not submit to have his children taught at school that his favorite beverage is a poison."
When the majority of the people of this country decide that they will have their children taught in the public schools the truth about alcohol and its effect on mind and body, the minority of Germans who don't want their children taught plain lessons of truth, as science has revealed them, need not submit. There is a regular packet line between New York and Hamburg, and they will not be obliged to stay and submit to the rule of the majority.
The lesson-books on alcohol are rapidly being introduced into the public schools of this country, and most parents regard it as a matter of more importance that their children be taught the nature and effects of alcohol than to know the length of the longest river, or the height of the highest mountain.
We are glad to know that there are plenty of good, sober, law-abiding Germans in this country, who do want their children taught the truth about everything.—The Christian Woman.
