AND
 CHILD LIFE

There is a great army of child criminals in our land for which we provide juvenile courts and child penal institutions. If the energy used to help improve the condition of slese unfortunate children had been used to destroy the thing that makes such children possible much more could have been accom- plished for the bettetment of the lace.
 The New York Academy Of Medi- cine gave Dr. T. Alexander MacNioh- oil. surgeon of the Red Cross Hos pital, rue task of investigating the deficiency of school children. Fifty live thousand children were eX- .miueI. or these 5S per cent were hcIcw the standard of ntelli geuce, II per cent were dullards, 70 per cent were very deficient and lG per cent nearly deficient.
 The family history of S,711 chill iren was traced for three genera tious. Of the children of abstain ing parents and grandparents only 4 per cent were dullards, whree of the children of abstaining parents, but drinking grand parents, IS per cent were dullards. These cases are multiplied by research in Eu- rope IS we'll as America. All agree that alcohol is responsible to an alarming degree for idiOcy, epilep- sy, tecblemindedness, and all mental deficiencies in children.
 In Bavaria, the greatest beer drinking country in the world, the death rate among babies is 300 to each 1000, the highest in the world
 No greater shame can rest up on a government than that it fosters and protects an institution that robs children of their pOssi- bility of development, and the ability to stand equal with more favored ones in an attempt to be- come honorable citizens.
