TEMPERANCE COUNCIL.
NEW ORGANISATION FORMED.
An organisation known as the Auck- ! land Council of Temperance Education has recently been formed by a group of citizens keenly interested in the promotion of temperance. Its objects are to co-ordinate, initiate and assist all forms of temperance educational work in Auckland, and to encourage total abstinence from intoxicating liquor. At a meeting of the council last night the secretary, Mi - . L. E. Falkner, reported having approached .the Minister of Education, the Hon. P. Eraser, with a view having temperance lessons or articles published in the School Journal? He also suggested that talks should be broadcast. The chairman, the Rev. J Olphert, stated that the Minister had already given instructions to headmasters of high schools to give two temperance lessons a week and examine the pupils upon them. The High Commissioner in London, Mr. W. J. Jordan, stated, in a letter, that Mra Jordan and he would do everything in their power to further the aims and objects of the council.
