A Nxw Temperance Movement.— Scott’s
Weekly paper says :
“The friends of Temperance are still earnest
and active. They have just commenced anew
movement, by which they propose to strike at
the root, and ming c education with temperance.
Their design is to have Temperance Schools,
Temperance Teachers, and Temperance School
Books In May last, the Order of Pupils of
Temperance was organized in this city The
object is not merely to administer the pledge of
total abstinence,but to teach the pupils the prin
ciples and reasons for desiring them to abstain
from intoxicating drinks. This is done by hav
ing lessons prepared in the form of questions and
answers, by eminent temperance men, which the
pupils are required to learn, and report to the
teachers selected for the classes. These lessons
are changed as often as the advancement of the
pupils require it, always instructing the mind,
while there is no weariness from oft repeated
services. This association is also free from the
objections urged by so many parents against
other societies, that of secrecy. Thus far, four
classes have already been organized in Phila
delphia, and several in other parts of the Union.
An address upon the subject has also just beer,
issued. It gives a complete history of the
movement, its principles and purposes, and is
entitled to an attentive perusal."
