DEPRAVrTY OF NEW YORK
 SCHOOL CHILDREN.
| pr. T. Alexander MacNicolI Reiterates All His Recent Estimates.

New York June 11.--In statement issued tonight Dr. T. Alexander Mac Nicoll of this city reiterates over his signature all his recent estimates of the depraVity of school children in New York. As originally reported, his paper, which was read at Atlantic City be- fore the American Medical society for the study of alcohol and other narcot- ics, created much indignation and brought forth many denials here. But Dr. MacNicoll says tonight that his conclusions were drawn after studying 9O000 children of all ages. He did not wish them to have publicity he adds, but since they have attained it he feels that they should be set forth as he would have them.
 His studies, he says, reveal condi- tions existing in some sections Of our great American metropolis that parallel the historic depravity of ancient Sodom; conditions with growth" dis- regard for legal restraint that are ca pablo of an extension that would en- danger the integrity of our municipal life."
 The statement says further of the children:
 "Firty-eight per cent. drink some form of alsohol beverage occasionally or at regular intervals; 57 per cent drink one glass of beer a week to five glasses of beer a day; 21 per cent. drink wine or spirits; in some groups he concludes. 'the percentage of occa- sional and regular drinkers runs as high as 79; of those attending schools 46 per cent. are backward in their studies"
