Abstract
From its beginnings in 1874, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was concerned with the education of young people to the principles of total abstinence. Working through the Sunday schools and later the public schools, they laid the groundwork for the formal drug education programs that remain high on the agendas of today. Building on the earlier “juvenile work” of the temperance movement, they developed the Loyal Temperance Legion, an organization for the nonformal education of youth. Although the popularity of this group was relatively short-lived, their introduction of secular themes and experimentation with secular activities as a means of holding the attention of young members, provided models upon which the emerging field of nonformal education could build.
