brought into general use by

analyses many aspects Of this

ing features of DR. Halls book are in
dcated in the following quotations:
rs there any chief end of man, any
goal or destiny supreme over all
others? II so. and if found, we shall
have in the degree of approximation
to it the best of ali scales on which
to measure real progress in terms of
which all human value are best stated
and defined. answer that there is
such a goal, and that it took the awful
psychic earthquake of war to reveal
it in its true perspective and to show
us its real scope. 1t is simply this
to keep ourselves, body and soul, and
our environment, physical, social, in
dustrial, etc, always at the very tip
top of condition. This super-hygiene
is best designated as morale. 1t is the
only true divine power that ever was
or will be. Hence, it follows that
morale thus conceived is the one and
only true religion of the present ard
the future, and its doctrines are the
only true theology.
Morale Described
when we awake after sound and
refreshing sleep, with every organ in
tune and at concert pitch, and thank
whatever gods we believe in that We
are alive, we'll, young, strong, buoyant
and exuberant with animal spirits at
top notch; when we are full of JOY that
the world is so beautiful, that we can
love our dear ones and can throw our
selves into our work with zest and
abandon because we like it; when our
problems seem not insoluble and the
obstacles in our path not insuperable:
when we feel that our enemies are
either beaten or placated; in a word,
when we face reality gladly and with a
stout heart, even if it is grim and
doubtful and never doubt that it is good
at the core and all evil is subordinate
to good, that even if we are defeated
and overwhelmed in good cause all
IS not lost; when we feel for something
that we would die for if need be-this
is morale.
The ideal soldier comes perhaps
nearer being the ideal man than does
the ideal workman, scholar, farmer,
savant or the ideal man of any occu-
patton. The soldierly attitude and
bearing is the acme of alertness and
readiness for action Of any kind on
the instant with maximum of eff
cheney. The true soldier carries a GER
tain atmosphere of tonic, out-of-door
healthfulness and life abounding that
is mental and physical tonic to all
he meets and is the very opposite of
weakness, invalidism or fabbiness.
The saloon is a social as well as
dietetic institution and it also stimu-
lates the sociability and good fellow
ship so satisfying to gregarious man.
In the saloon many find one of the
chief joys of life. They find relaxa-
tlon and stimulus combined in proper
tions which are most agreeable, and 90
home to happier sleep and more
pleasant dreams for it all and back
to work in the morning with pleasing
memories and anticipations. The mod
crate user loathes the sot and is in
dignant at the. reformer who intimates
that he is in DANGER Of becoming one.
"A psychologist seeks to find the re-
