There is an eternal conflict between the school-room and the bar-room. The school-room makes men, the bar-room destroys them.

The cry comes from the friends of the school-room, from those who would give the State a strong, great, noble citizenship, for protection from the curse of drunkenness. This cry should be heard and answered by every lover of his fellow-men, no matter where his home may be.

The school-room sends men to the Legislature, to the bench, and the executive office. The bar-room sends them to the scaffold and hell.

Thomas Jordan Jarvis Quotes
