Print on Demand. This book examines the effects of parental alcoholism on their children's health, intellect, and behavior, drawing on data from two surveys—one from the Edinburgh Charity Organization Society and the other from special schools in Manchester. The author measured the effects of parental alcoholism and found that it was correlated with a slightly poorer physique, weight, and health in the children, as well as an increased likelihood of mental defectiveness. However, the author also found that the negative effects of parental alcoholism were likely due to environmental factors, such as lack of nutrition or poor home life, rather than a direct toxic effect of alcohol on the children. Additionally, there was no correlation between parental alcoholism and the children's eyesight. Ultimately, the author's findings challenge the common assumption that parental alcoholism is directly responsible for a wide range of problems in children and suggest that environmental factors play a much larger role than previously thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

With (i) (a) we are not at present concerned, but hope that it will be dealt with later. We are dealing only with children, not yet of an age to exhibit definite alcoholic tendencies. Between (i) (b), (ii) and (iii), it will be difficult to differentiate on the basis Of the present material. But the necessity for differentiation will only arise, if we demonstrate a substantial correlation between alcoholism in the parent and defectiveness in the child. Should such a correlation exist, then for a permanent and valuable scheme of social reform it is needful above all things to ascertain whether it is the cross-heredity, the toxic influence or the environmental influence which is the source or chief source Of the resulting harm to the child. Complete prohibition would not remedy the cross-hereditary influence, it could only be met by the pro hibition of parentage for members of affected stocks. Complete prohibition would put a stop at once to the toxic influence; either complete prohibition, or the removal of Offspring would meet the environmental influence. Surely it is worth while to get some light on these points, before we tackle this great problem of alcoholism. And if it should be that more extensive data confirm the results Of this preliminary study would it not be Of considerable importance to realise that we must look to other factors besides drink as potent sources Of our social difficulties?
