C. T. V. Mr. William H. Anderson, Acting Legislative Superintendent A. B. L. of America, spending before the conven- tisn in Chicago in December says that the work of the W. C. T. U. and its cot tribution to the temperance phase , f advancing civilization is just beginning to be understood. To its modest, patient, persistent pursuit of educative methods he pays a high tribute and Says : "It gives me great pleasure to do this in the view of the fact that I regard myself as, in part at least, a product oi the system of scientific instruction in the public schools of the country concerning the effects of alcohol on the human sys tem. There is no means of estimat ing how far this was the primary in fluence in determining my life work, hut the fact remains that my atten tion was first turned to the temper ance question while a boy in school by means of prizes offered bv the Woman’s Christian Temp-rance Un ion of my home town in Illinois for the best examination and essay on the subject.” Many'hundreds of Georgia children entered these l’rize Essay Contests last year, and for the first time, a State W. C, T. U. prize was offered as well as the local prizes, thus con necting the contest with the National, as only winners of Biute prizes can become competitors there, The work will be continued this year in Georgia on a larger scale than ever, and it is hoped that evety school in the State will hold a con to t. There is a National W. C. T. U. prise far Colleges and Universities also and many of the talented young men of the country are contemplated it.
