ALCOHOL. The Trattainsr or Hygiene and EfTccts or Alcohol in the Public School?.

Rfcarks of Senator Jonnaon, of Tlppecaaoe, in the Indiana State Senate, Thursday, February 20, 1885. The Fenate having under consideration the bi'l to require the teaching of hygiene, tnd espf cially the f tlecfs of alcoholic stimu-'a-t" on the human system, in the public (( oc's, Mr. Jchnsoti, of Tippecanoe, said: Mr rK;5rr'F..T The main reason which ir (tuces nte to oppose this bill, and, if penible to prevent it from becoming a law, is fcunded in the fact that it is the outgrowth and cif-pnng of that fanatical agitation which, for the last ten yesrs. has disturbed tie public mind in regard to inteaiperauce, its course, rreventive?, and resu'tj. There Is rot a Senator on this tioor but who knows and deplores the evil and destructive ei!e:ts which Intemperance bas on Ihehunau sys em. and that it fatally attacks and prematurely rnins many a bright mind, many a heart otherwise noble and generous, many a rocstituiion of giant Etrength and poer. This is what intemper&nca, th immoderate and excessive u?e of alcoholic liquors i 1 1 inevitably do, and aimcst superhunan eiforts of moral rforn:erji, eJucators, and statesmen ha-'e bttn tuKc! to surpass find era Jicatr th v're ard have i'-ve r ebly failed Instead cf dfCTf 2itu' r.d lr..r g its rrnicious cras-p n r.r.t'or.s and indsviiiua's iüte-np?ra5ce seetn ra'l f r tn the i;cei( and to extend it powr. And jpt. Mr. Prc-ident, t;obdy, I tf-'ifve, will c aini cr can jus!ly clatm that V e rr-cp'e lav been kept in ignorance as to tt 0 hapefnl e tlect? 0: ti e eicesiive or im-f-j..uert ue of .leoholin liqu-jrs; on the Co! trsry, rur pukviK cur Uciuru-rootiH, our rnblic platforM.- av resTnrdd with t'-.e elcqnerce and the fervid arguments of th arostle vi tempeiance and the advocate of prohibition, acd thousands or daily, weekly and monthly newspapers and periodical hae echoed and re -echesd this eloquence ard thee arcuments and ca-ried tbem to the remotest village or farm house of th:3 grear country. With such an unlimited and powerful assistance, one mi:ht haveuppceed the cause of temperance wouhi n ake rapid prosrees and mtrch victoriou3ly over the broad domain o thia I uion, irre betitle in its conquests and all overpower ir.g in its gigantic strength. But, as I state.', before, nothing of the kind has been witnessed or recorded: the greater the agitation against intemperance, t tie more nnraenu ita victims and the more plentiful its ha r vest. There mtrst ha some reason for this, some Fecret caae, which produces this phe norcenal effect, to contrary to all expectaticns and desires of reform, anl it I am not creatly mistaken, rue of these reasons at if ast is the spirit of fanaticism and intoler ance with which the agitation against thigreat and deplorable vice has been carried on. Our country is too enlightened, the minds cf our people, educated in the great school of practical liberty, are go averse to intolerance, that teniperanc gitation. though undoubtedly inspireJ by noble motives, just on account of the intolerant ard fanatical epirit with which it h8s been identified, is looked clown upon, and is too offen the subject ol" ridicule acd contempt. The great mistake these advocates of temperance are constantly making is their want cf moderation both io their arguments and ttt ir aspirations. As long as history gives record cf nations and their action cay, farlher back than that aslongas wpic poetry and legendary eong ctlebrateo heroe? ami heroic deed?, wine and alcoholic stimulants have coexisted with man and human nature, and it is rather late now, after so many thousands of years of their daily consumption, to attempt to suppress and banish them from the domain which they have so lorg O'-cupied. The r.;e of alco holic liquors " is, in -mall and moderate quantities, neither injurious nor destructive. The most civilized nationa of the globe to-day are thoce where these liquors enter into the daily diet of the ciH zen almost with the fame reulatity as bread or meat. T n-fer to France, Germany and England, the three leading nations of Europe, which for centuries have been at the head 01 civilization, ard have furnished an abundant list cf illustrious thinkers in every departDjent of literature, art aud science. It is only the immoderate use of these liquor which is so injurious, both to the phvsiril and mental constitution of man. Aad just because the adrocates of temperance to,") often fail to advance this true and scientific dectrine, ard blindly denounce and curse even the moderate indulgence in them, they fail to convince the people, and their lessons of mora ity are preached to deaf ears and mutinous minds. Now, Mr. President, it is this Fame spirit of intolerance and unwise fanaticism which ia to be transferred from the rcstrum, the pulpit and the public platform to the school room of our public schools. A socailtd text-book of i hysiology and hygiene, in which the pernicious effects of alcohol and alcoholic liquors on the human sjetem ar presented in glaring colors, as ridiculous a3 they are untrue, will, if this bill becomes a law, b plactd in the hand? of the young scholar of our public schools and imbue h: mind with the erroneous idea, not that the inmo lerate and excesssye u?e cf ciciholic stimulants ia highly irjuiious but that its use in whatsoever quantity no matter whether largs or rn a!lis rerditirn to man's body, mind and rcnl. Who is to g-t up, I wonder, tb 13 textbcok .' To whO'e bancs is its composition to be entrusted ? Wose pen wilt be selected to fill the joathful mind with horrible dir sms and pbnutaimaL'ories of the effects of a glass of beer or wine .' After what reform pattern of prohibition philosophy is the teacher, who v,v.nt3 a liceufe, to be examined, and who is o et up the questions and answer required bj the applicant to obtain this license? Mr. I'resident, so far I have only objected to the peneral aim and tendency cf the las, if thi3 bill should bf come a law. Tee vsry thirg which cur educational svstm should carefully avoid, the introduction of intolerant hobbiea and isms, will be efiV. ted by this measure. There is plenty of roiaa now fcr every teacher in our public schools to u:-e his influence and hia example with his pupils in behalf of virtue, morality and all the ennobling qualities of human character; ail text-bcots used es readera are repiete with lessors on tenueraro and virtue. If our churches, our Sunday-schools and the daily instruction and exhortations of our schools are powerle.-s to avert the calamity of intemperate habits among the voung men of the Nation, what do yon e.p?ct to efiVct by establishing a special brancu of instruction, which, from the very fact of v? being founded on prejudices and inoranc-, will create dis-a:i&-Uon among" the pan ;lc. and by its misrepresentation aiod unscientih teachings mav bree in tae minds 01 1 .1. rsT l 1 your; h:2 cf contempt and r. oiiion against parents who may hold different and rea?-nabl- view on the subject? Now, Mr President, I have alreadv too much extended my remarks on this bill. I hope it will not pass. Limit the school to ita legitimate ephere of action, and co not try to make it the vehrcle of intolerant ideas and puritaaicil notions. Th chuich, tue Sunday-school, the inSuence of

father and mother, the public pre39, and the general tune of xnoraU'y p?rvadin our social pystem are suilicient safeguarda and barriers against a vice which, unfortunately, seem to be beyond the power of legislation and Ual restraints Only n Mouthpiece.
