Farewell Willard marks British temperance jubilee
A London Queen's Hall gathering marks the eighteenth annual meeting of the National British Women's Temperance Association. Miss Frances Willard receives praise for her work as 3,000 attendees hear speeches on temperance reform. A dramatic lesson via white ribbon children contrasts ragged and well-dressed choristers to show drink's harms and abstinence's benefits. The event raises funds for an Industrial Farm Home for Inebriate Women and highlights the association's expanding programs.
