important at the present time Is in
dividual hygiene. This is the hygiene
of personal habits. and 1t is so i'm
portant. because upon 1t depends the
death rate from degenerative diseases,
which are due to bad personal habits.
The death rate from these diseases
has increased Al per cent in the last
20 years. Such diseases are the by
products of civilization.
After hygiene, as the crowning
element of the health movement is
eugenics. I'have sometimes said that
eugenics is hygiene raised to the
highest power. 1t is simply the hy-
giene Nof future generations. At the
present moment, when the race itself
is in danger it would seem to be the
most important Of all h%ygienes. A
new race probably could not be secur-
ed within 100 years.
THE noblest task that 1 can con-
ceive for any man is to aid in erecting
true ideals of perfect manhood, and
positive and progressive. They should
include q sound mind, in a sound
body, integrity of moral fiber. and a
sense Of the %splendor of the perfect
human body. Our health ideals
should be nothing short of an abiding
sense Of the sweetness n beauty,
the nobility and holiness of human
life.
Such ideals will link health with
patriotism. Our boys and girls will
feel that in developing their man
hood. and womanhood they are dedi-
eating themselves to their country in
that broad humanity for which their
country stands"
