The trades are divided into three classes — A, those with 

 wages under 25s. ; B, those with wages 25s. to 30s. ; 

 C, those with wages over 30s. In each case the average 

 of the recorded wages of the individuals following that 

 trade is given. S = sober, D = drinks, and the numbers 

 following these letters give the number of each type. To 

 understand this classification we may remind the reader 

 that after allowing for all those cases in which the authors 

 of the Report state ' average ' wages of the individual, the 

 average wage of a drinker is 25s. 6d., and of the temperate 

 25s. 5^.1 



Those who will carefully examine this table will see 

 that there is no marked differentiation in the callings of 

 the two sections. Of the whole series here tabled 55 % 

 drink. Of the low wages. Class A, as a whole 54 % drink ; 



^ Wage when one parent (generally father) drinks, 255. 6d. ; wage 

 when both drink, 24s. 8^, ; wage when neither drink, 25s. ^d. Wage 

 when either or both drink, 25 s.
