Mary Hunt

Mary Hunt (1830–1906) became one of the most powerful women in the United States temperance movement promoting Prohibition of alcohol. As Superintendent of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union’s Department of Scientific Temperance Instruction, she worked from the grass roots to the national level to ensure passage of laws requiring that textbooks teach every school child a curriculum promoting complete abstinence for everyone and alcohol prohibition.

She achieved the de facto power to veto any such textbook of which she did not approve. Hunt sent the first of her criteria for acceptable books to publishers, who then submitted the resulting drafts to her for recommendations and possible endorsement. For example, the WCTU leader did not approve of any book that mentioned the widespread medicinal use of alcohol or any book that even implied that drinking in moderation did not inevitably lead to serious alcohol abuse (Bader, 1986, p. 99).

By the mid-1890s, the WCTU’s program of temperance instruction and the textbooks endorsed by Mary Hunt were increasingly being criticized . The Committee of Fifty, a group formed in 1893 by scholars to study the "liquor problem", (Fumas, 1965, p. 330) was highly critical of the ideological purity demanded by Mrs. Hunt. It argued that children should not be taught "facts" that they would later find to be incorrect. The group concluded that the WCTU's program of temperance instruction was seriously defective and probably counter-productive (Billings, et al., 1905).

Famous quotes by Mary Hunt:

"We were paying other people to do things we could easily do ourselves,"
"Always be a fragrance, never become an odor. If the things you do to save money embarrass [people], do them when they're not around. Stay gracious and you'll win them over eventually. Remember, you'll be the one with the money."
"People don't get into financial trouble because of the rent. They're used to paying that each month, ... It's the expenses that are not predictable or regular that can be difficult."
"not the ones who were on welfare. Not the ones who didn't have jobs."
"I saw this as a bridge between my pitiful lifestyle and a better life, ... I still thought our house would appreciate and somehow we'd eventually retire as millionaires."
"We're not only coming to the end of the year, but the end of a millennium, so for anything tied to a model year, like cars, bikes and electronics, you should be able to get a pretty good deal on now."
"You could easily buy a year-old model and those are the ones they are really trying to get rid of. Unless you're doing complicated graphics or something, most of us don't need the latest model."
"Once you find a bargain go online to compare. The Internet is throwing retailers for a loop. They know bargain hunters are getting pretty savvy and they want to get rid of their off-season inventory."
"You're a smarter shopper when you go into the store with $30 in your pocket."
"It's 100 percent free and you speak to a live person."

Amore

by: Morandi

I think I love this Italian girl
Cause she's the most beautiful in the world
I love the way she moves her body close to mine
I love the ways she talks and yes, I love the way she smiles
She told me:
Refren(x2):
Amore, ascolta le parole che vengono
Che vengono da'l cuore.
(in reverse):
I love the way she moves her body close to mine
Cause she's the most beautiful in the world
I love the way she moves her body close to mine
Cause she's the most beautiful in the world
Beautïful...
