Boys and girls demand to know the truth about
Alcohol, its uses and abuses. The schools throughout
the United States are seeking to discover a new and
more effective method of approaching the alcohol
question for younger people. It is to meet this need
that this book was written. The authors set forth a
capable presentation of a subject around which much
controversy has raged.

YOUTH STUDIES ALCOHOL has been pre-
pared for use in the junior high school grades. It may
be used as a supplementary reader in either science
or social science classes, but preferably the latter. The
authors have made the material interesting and at the
same time scientifically accurate. The style is in-

formal, mostly narrative, together with a conversational approach,
which should help to catch the attention of the pupil and carry

him through the study.

Dr. H. B. Bruner of Columbia University has
written an appropriate foreword.

There are helpful suggestions to teachers, a use-
ful bibliography, simple experiments and thought-
provoking questions, and suggestions for further dis-
cussion and study.

The book is profusely and attractively illustrated
with original drawings by Kurt Welanetz.

YOUTH STUDIES ALCOHOL tells the boys
and girls what they want to know and ought to know,
but more than mere understanding, fundamental as
it is, is the right attitude which it inculcates. The

boys and girls of today who read and discuss this book will make
the world of tomorrow safer and happier, because of the attitude

acquired today through the study of this book.
