EDUCATION AND PROPAGANDA.
Institutions such as the National Red Cross Societies should be peculiarly well qualified to undertake educational and propagandist work in their respec- tive countries which will bring the opium habit into popular disrepute and thus help to prevent a new generation from acquiring it. They may also be able to make practical suggestions for reform and to furnish evidence of the evils arising from the habit which should carry weight outside of their own, countries. Along such lines the Red Cross Societies may do much not only to reduce in their own countries the evils connected with opium smoking, but also to help in the essential work of international co-operation,
