SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO DRINK
 BEER.

SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO DRINK
 BEER.
 A correspondent of The Lancet gives some startling statistics concering the use of alcoholic drinks by the school children at sehoneberg. a suburb of Berlin The investigation was made by pr Goldfeld, medical officer of the public schools. The tables given in his paper show that of 47O boys, 2s4, or 5s.2 per cent, daily drank beer, and 1ss. or 30 per cent. were casual drinkers. In one of the classes ss.2 per cent were re- gular drinkers and in another only SS 1-3 per cent. Spirits were taken by from IF per cent to 6O4 per cent. The fig ures relating to girls. though sufi- ciently serious, showed a less prevalent consumption of alcohol. In all 51.S per cent of the children, girls and boys, drank more or less. From one to two glasses day was the average. Malt beer was preferred by the majority, while some drank lager beer, or the so-called white beer, a special Berlin beverage containing a great quantity of carbonic acid and relatively small quantity of alcohol. As to the other liquors Dr Goldfeld states that rum, kummel. cognac, or even a combina- ton of several spirits was taken. The teachers informed DrGoldfeId thatchil- dren accustomed to the use of spirits foII yIoy inclined to tell lies. Dr Goldfeld under took to warn the children against the danger of alcoholism, but without any successthe children continuing to drink Although his endeaver was supported by the teachers, the parents were not to be persuaded and the influence ex- erted by the school was checked by that of the parents Dr Goldfeld pro- poses that eventually addresses should be read on the subject before meeting Of parents of children attending indi- vidual schools and that, moreover, they should be provided on the behalf of the school authorities with a short essay dealing with the dangers of alcohol ism. Tn all probability the children of most other German communities are as much addicted to alcohol as those of Berlin. To what extent is this pernicious custom allowed in our country? An investigation here would be of use. Temperance reformers might wisely devote some of their en- ergies to this important subject. What do our school children buy with their pennies? The appetite of alcoholism estaDnshed thus early in life must be much harder to conquer, and the results more certain to follow-Ameri- can Medicine.
