SKATER SOME OLD THEORIES
investigations Carried on In England
Tend to Show Environment
Counts Most.

Attention Is directed by the Medical
Record to the interesting and decided
ly surprising results of an investiga
ton recently made In England with
the purpose of determining the phys
ical and mental effects on children OF
alcoholism in parents. II has hitherto
been held as indisputably true and
fects are many and serious-that the
drunkard's child has nothing like s
fair start in life, and is, If not sure
at least very likely, to be weakline
In both mind and body. An examina
tion by careful scientists of 1000 chill
dren in Manchester and Edinburgh
where, II anywhere, the consequences
of alcoholism could be found--discred
its this old assumption.
The parents of half these children
were sober people, and of half either
the father or mother or both habitu
ally drank to excess. The conclu
sions reached were: That the death
rate among the children of alcoholic
parents was slightly greater than
among the others. the difference being
most notable when the mother was in
temperate; that the children of the
sober were a little heavier; that the
health of the two classes was about
the same; that parental alcoholism Is
not the cause of mental defect in off
spring, and affects intelligence very
slightly, If at all, and that, for some
inexplicable reason, the eyesigbt ol
the alcoholics was somewhat the bet
ter
Nothing was decided as to the exist
ence of predisposition toward drunk
enness In the children of drunkards,
but 1t was shown, the investigators
think, that what little superiority was
found in the children of the sober was
due not to the abstinence of the par.
ents from intoxicants, but to the bet.
ter care and training which their chill
dren naturally received. In other
words, In this case, as in so many, II
not all others, 1t is early environment
rather than heredity that counts, and
there is no more of a prenatal doom
Tor the drunkard's child than for that
of the consumptive.
The temperance advocates will not
welcome these conclusions, and they
can say, fairly enough that the inves.
tigation was not broad enough to be
decisive. They may even question the
wisdom Of publishing such statements
even IL true. The truth. however Is
never dangerous, while falsehood and
inaccuracy always are. Experience
has shown that the restraints of the
old belief are Intellectual, and any
tightening of the dark cloud OF hope
less heredity, exploited by Zola and
lbsen. is certainly to be desired as
tending to strengthen the sense OF
personal responsibility and to inspire
ambition and effort.

SPLENDID WORK FOR MEN
Virlle Christianity the Great Need Of
the Age-The Brotherhood
Movement.

No call has been more insistently
made in these latter days than that
for a manly Christianity. Not that
the eternal womanly" should be ig
nored or neglected in any way, but
that we should realize that the saving
of the world is mans work. 1t Is
right that the manhood of today
should be alive to this fact, especially
American manhood, for 1t Is not the
part of the chivalric American to turn
over to the women the hard tasks that
need to be performed. And this Chris.
tianizing world is hard task, says
the Epworth Herald.
It is out of this that was born the
modern brotherhood. 1t -came as q
result of the awakening of the men to
a sense of personal responsibility In
connection with the church. All other
activities were we'll in hand. The wo
men, both In their home and foreign
missionary work, as well as In that
which is distinctively local. the young
people In their efforts for spiritual and
social uplift; the children in theil
training In the bible and In other mat
ters-an were cared for Only the
men were left to themselves; and as
a result they also left the church by
itself, all too often.
Has 1t not many times happened
that the difficult problems have been
passed over. or passed on. by simply
saying, well, let the women take
care of that?" And then, by all kinds
of schemes and devices, and "calami
ties" without number. the women have
wrestled with the situation and tried
TO bring order out of chaos. All hail
to the faithful women and their devo
tion! And yet these things ought moi
TO be. 1t is not manly. to say nothing
of Christian. and the men of the
church have at last realized It. In
the Brotherhood movement they have
arisen to the situation.
MEMS work for men," Is the slogan
of the hour. II finds splendid mani
festation In the great missionary
movement among the laymen, and II
finds an organized expression in the
great brotherhoods Of the church.
