'"The military draft showed start
ling number of American men below
the level of military efficiency. The

closed that the children of the coun-

proper gree of physical develop

women of america would show an
undue number below the level of
material efficiency. and the health
and vigor of the race in large meas
ure depends upon the health and
vigor of the women who mother the
race.
