Review of Tobacco and Mental Efficiency

Abstract

Reviews the book, Tobacco and Mental Efficiency by M. V. O'Shea (see record 1923-15015-000 ). In cooperation with the Committee to Study the Tobacco Problem, Professor O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin has prepared a very comprehensive and impartial summary of available data and opinions with regard to the effects of the use of tobacco upon mental characteristics and scholarship, and has combined with this compilation the results of some extended laboratory experiments of his own. The book is made up of three parts. Part I presents data derived from observation, introspection, and biography; Part II summarizes data chiefly statistical derived from school and college records; Part III presents Professor O'Shea's laboratory findings. An extended bibliography is appended. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
