petition and accuracy Of its accom-
pllshment were most gratifying dem.
onstration of the efficiency OF our
democratic institutions. The suffer-
ings with which the machinery for Its
execution had to be assembled, how
ever, left room for adjustment and i'm
provement.
"The time has come for more per-
feet organization of our man power.
The selective principle must be carried
to its logical conclusion. We, must
make complete inventory Of thu
qualifications of all reglstrants In order
to determine as to each man not al
ready selected for duty with the serv-
ice, the place In the military, Indus
trial or agricultural ranks OF the ma
ton In which his experience and train
Ing can best be made to serve the com.
mon good. This project Involves an
inquiry by the selection boards Into
the domestic, Industrial and educa-
tional qualifications of nearly ten mil
