»Vzgojimo domovini trezen rod!«

This paper outlines the fundamental characteristics of the anti-alcohol movement that took place in Slovenian schools during the first decades of the 20th century, approximately until the onset of World War II. The paper begins by depicting the extensive availability of alcohol in Slovenian territories, which was the impetus for the anti-alcohol e'orts within the educational system. It then focuses on the attempts to curb the advance of the alcohol among Slovenian youth. Various didactic recommendations, available anti-alcohol references, and directives from school authorities were employed in this e'ort that are to be presented in the paper. The discussion concludes with an evaluation of the e'ectiveness of the anti-alcohol campaign in schools.
