PHYSICAL PERFECTION NOT THE
HIGHEST IDEAL.

Up in Battle Creek, Mich, there was
a human stock show. One DR.. KELLOGG
would have human beings exhibited
as pigs or poultry are shown, for their
fine physical parts and qualities. He
wants to produce a perfect physical
type by following the method for pro.
ducing marketable specimens of do
nestle animals. He ignores the prin-
ciple that creature must be adapted
to the conditions of its existence and
that the most important forces which
affect human life have mental and
moral character The pig has been
modelled to suit the needs of man, and
not the needs of the pig; as the ath.
lete, by special and severe training,
has fitted himself for special exercises,
thereby uniting himself for the gen.
eral, varied, and more spiritual de-
mands of life. The Greeks applied DR..
Kellogg's theory to considerable ex.
tent, and became thoroughly degener.
