A Temperance School in Yonkers

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Yonkers, N. Y., failing to secure the introduction of temperance books into the public schools, have organized a temperance school in the largest hall in the place, and have several hundred children together every Friday afternoon. They have a noble band of women who take and pledge the children, teach them the "Catechism on Alcohol," and now have introduced the "Boys' and Girls' Temperance Text-Book." These children are taught the fundamental truths of the nature and effects of alcohol upon the human system, and go through a drill equal to any other day-school.
