ALCOHOL AND
CHILD LIFE
There is a great army of child
criminals iu our land for which we
provide juvenile courts and child
peual institutions. If ths energy
used to help improve the condition
of :a»~se unfortunate children had
oven used to destroy the thing
that makes such chilo'ren possible,
lumh more could have been accom
plished for the betterment of the
i ace.
l'ht New Vors Academy c-[ Medi
cine gave Dr. T. Alexander MacNioh
oll. surgeou of the Red Cross Hos
pital, the task of investigating the
lUfiUe;\y of school children. Fiftv
live thousand children were e.\
..niintj. Of these 58 per cent
were bcit-w the standaid orfutelli
geuce, IT per cent were dullards,
-i per cent were very deficient and
1(5 per cent nearly deficient.
The family history of 3.711 chil-^
drei» was traced for three genera
tions. Of the children of abstain
ing parents and grandparents only
4 per cent were dullards, whree of
the children of abstaining parents,
but drinking grand parents, 78 per
cent were dullards. Thesq cases
are multiplied by reseaicu iu Eu
rope as well as America. All agree
that alcohol is responsible to an
alarming degree for idiocy, epilep
sy, feeblemindedness, and all mental
deficiencies in children.
In Bavaria, the greatest beer
drinkii.g country in the world, the
death rate among babies is 300 to
each 1,000, the highest in, the world
No greater shame can rest up
on a governnmeut than that it
testers and protects an institution
that 'robs children of their possi
bility cf development, and the
ability to stand equal with more
favored ones in an attempt to be
come honorable citizens.
COMPARE THESE FIGURES
Professor Demme of Stuttgart
studied tho history of ten families 1
of drunkards and ten temperance
families for ten years.
This is what he found:
Drunkards' families: Number of
children, 57; died before 6 months
old 25; idiots 6; stunted in
growth 5; epilepsy 5; cured of ner
vousness 0; ordinary good hoalth
17.5 per cent.
Temperance families: Number of
