The popular idea that the stress and
strain of modern times materially in
crease the tendency to mental and nor
vous diseases may be to some extent true,
but such a tendency is neutrallzed by
improved methods of living. better hy-
gienic and sanitary conditions and a
marked change in the habits of the gem
eral population, with reference TO out
door exercise and the diffusion among
the general public of a better knowledge
of healthful living"
DIR. Macdonald had his attention directed
to the so-called deterioration of English
men. He said: ''If observations made
through the West End at hotels. theaters
and in the streets afford safe PREMISE
must say that this deterioration is very

tended by the regents, professors and
many students, but few of our citizens,
