The outstanding criticism is one of omission. There is no mention of
 alcohol or tobacco in the section on mental health. To lead young people
 to solve their own problems without resorting to artificial crutches is a
 vital responsibility of the educator. For help in this area the teacher
 may refer to The Alcohol Problem Visualized (5) and Alcohol Talks from the
 Laboratory (3).
