Abstract

Drink and Children!
Rear Admiral Sir Harry Stileman,
Chief Director of Doctor Barnardo's
Homes, says :
"I have 7,200 children- the largest family in the world- to take care of.
1,100 of these are babies under 5 years of age. If this country went dry for 25 years, Dr. Barnardo's Homes would close their doors.

If the country would give half aday's Drink Bill, I would Feed, clothe, Educate, Maintain, and place out in life the 7,200 children in my charge, and I would have a balance to spare at the end of the year."

The Chief Director of Doctor Barnardo’s Homes made the claim that abstinence in Britain would allow his charity to close its doors, as this lantern slide illustrates.
