Australia (AP) The Victoria state edu cation department Is considering giving Canadian-style lessons on alcohol In 1969. The education department said experiments with alcohol education were made in 12 of the state's schools last year.

The tests now are being eval uated. It seemed likely that a course would be offered to all schools above primary' level with the final decision on intro duction of the teaching being left to individual School headmasters. The course Is designed for boys and girls aged about 14 years. It occupies on 40-minute period each week for one of the three school terms' each year. When the course was tried at that level at Melbourne's Mc- Kinnon (junior) high school, ft aroused, statewide interest.

A Canadian book entitled A Manual of Reference for Alcohol Education and published by the department of education in British Columbia was used as a framework for the Victoria state course.
