CHAPTER XLVIII.

SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE INSTRUCTION IN THE PUBLIC

SCHOOLS.

[Communicated by ALBERT H. PLUMB to the Boston Transcript, May 2, 1896.]

The spring meeting of the New England Conference of Educational Workers in Boston on the 25th instant drew together quite a number of prominent teachers and experts in the science of pedagogy. Superintendent Seaver gave fitting introduction to the speakers. His honor the mayor made an interesting and encouraging address on the way to secure improved sanitation in our schools. Much useful information was imparted by Dr. Durgin, of the board of health, and Dr. Hartwell, who has charge of physical culture in the city schools, and by other speakers. One of these, however, laid down a principle which is violently at war with the enlightened policy and efficier t practice of our honored school authorities in this State and through the country. It was a principle which, if carried out according to the obvious intention of the speaker, would sweep away at once the greater part of the scientific temperance instruction now required by law in forty-one States, and in all schools under national control, as at Annapolis and at West Point. The falsity of this principle was at once exposed by a few words from Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, herself an educational authority, and, more than any other person living, personally in touch with educational and legislative authorities on this subject.

As there was no time, however, for any adequate discussion of the topic, it seems desirable that so vicious a principle be held up more definitely to the public view. It was indeed well said, by the speaker referred to, that the moral attitude of the scholar in regard to conduct is the strong factor in securing right living; that the effort should be to raise the child to the plane where he chooses what is right; though it would have been more accurate to say, the moral attitude is the chief constituent of right living, for the moral attitude includes the choice of the right which is the effect, and not the cause concerning which we are inquiring. And to induce a pupil to take the right moral attitude, to choose the right, is a matter of exceeding difficulty and of indefinite progress-a progress which it is hard to mark. It depends largely on the personal character and influence of the teacher. It is not a matter which can be definitely ordered and supervised by the school authorities, and how far in each case the moral attitude of the pupil has yielded to the teacher's moral exhortation is uncertain. This is not the case in the work of imparting information. The school authorities can order that the teacher impart to the scholar certain definite scientific knowledge-truths and facts-and the teacher can so obey this order as to be sure that the pupil has a clear and thorough apprehension of them. They are his permanent possession thenceforth, and an active force necessarily and always in influencing his life. He may resist that influence. As the speaker intimated, information concerning the evil effects of intoxicants may lead boys to try the experiment of using liquor, to see the effects, and therefore he would draw the foolish inference that such information should be withheld. "Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise" is a good motto indeed as to the experimental knowledge of vice, but not at all as to the scientific and theoretic knowledge of it.
