The period from 1865 to 1900 proved to be one of tremendous growth for music education in the United States, as well as a time of renewed activity for the temperance movement. Numerous single-volume school songbooks were published, and several sources note the inclusion of temperance songs in these songbooks. By conveying the temperance message to school children, reformers both indoctrinated those children to temperance ideology and used them as intermediaries to convey the message of temperance to their parents and other adults. This study examines temperance songs included in sixty-seven school songbooks from this period, noting common themes and tactics employed by temperance lyricists as well as variations in dominant themes across this thirty-five-year span.

美国学校歌本中的节制歌曲，1865-1899

1865 年至 1900 年期间被证明是美国音乐教育的巨大发展时期之一，也是节制运动重新活跃的时期。出版了许多单卷学校歌本，一些消息来源指出这些歌本中包含了节制歌曲。通过向学童传达节制信息，改革者既向这些孩子灌输节制意识形态，又利用他们作为中介向父母和其他成年人传达节制信息。本研究调查了这一时期 67 部学校歌本中包含的节制歌曲，指出了节制作词家采用的常见主题和策略，以及这 35 年间主导主题的变化。
