Synopsis

Excerpt from A First Study of the Influence of Parental Alcoholism on the Physique and Ability of the Offspring

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?
