    Juvenile Temperance Manual. By MISS JULIA COLMAN. 12mo, 162 Pages. Cloth, 60 cents. Paper, 25. This Manual is.intended as a help for teachers and all others who would like to get up a Temperance School. It answers the questions—How shall we start it? How manage it? What shall we teach? How make it interesting? etc., etc. It provides a series of lessons illustrated with experiments, objects, blackboard exercises, and problems ; on Alcohol, its origin, its nature, its effects, how to get rid of it; on Tobacco and on Profanity, with Scripture ticket lessons ; notices of such books, tracts, leaflets and charts, as can be used for helps. It is also intended to aid the superintendent in explaining and illustrating the lessons in the Catechism on Alcohol, which is now the most popular Temperance text-book for the children. The plan of the proposed School is novel, simple and ingenious, and com¬ mends itself at once to the good judgment of those who are in earnest to do “BEAL GOOD WOBK.” The book can also be used in all sorts of juvenile organizations and in families; and is entertaining reading for any one.
