J
 America's physical manhood is ma terially deficient.
 Its mental capacity is of a medi- ocre type.
 Harsh and cruel as these state ments may sound they are only the grim findings of the records made when the World war forced examina- tions of Americas manhood.
 The knife of a surgeon may seem cruel in it's relentless cutting but the results obtained more than justify the method. If we are brought to a realization of our needs thru a frank if smarting application of truth then we have taken the first step toward a national health and higher grade of mentality.
 Such realization is growing and the nation today is moving toward some system that will change us from a body of men shot thru with physical weakness to a physical perfection that will make us not only strong as individuals but will make us strong as nation, a need greatly to be de- sired in the troubled times that have fallen upon the world.
 Survival as expressed in God AL mighty's plan of human perpetuity depends upon fitness. This is quite as true of Nations as of individuals. A nation to be most fit must have men and women of physical strength and mental capacity. To have. physical strength and mental capacity as a nation it is quite important that there should exist a general national plan of physical development. All coun- tries that have developed power as the history of the world relates ac- complishment, have done so thru strength and vigor.
 Strength both of body and charac- ter comes from contact and the prac- tice of systematized policies of de- velopment are necessary for both.
 Our Health Record.
 The records of the World war re- manhood is materially deficient and its mental capacity of very medi- ocre type. The findings of the draft boaica as applied to men training for soldiers shows only 671s per cent of the flower of the country's manhood in physical condition to stand wars vi- cissitudes. These same war records show another distressing and surpris- ing situation as regards the mental ity of our people. Of all the men who went into service only AZ per cent showed very superior intelligence, per cent superior intelligence, 16h per cent high average intelligence, 25 per cent low intelligence, 10 per cent very inferior intelligence. In other words 70 per cent of our young American manhood registers below the average of normal mentality, rep resenting really only the mental abil- ity of the age of IA years and less. These are really startling statistics and certainly indicate great need of much special attention to the indi- vidual citizen if America is to keep step with the march of progress as a nation. Had we put the physical tests by which we measure soldiers to all the people of the United States, we should have found ourselves less than fifty per cent competent.
 Welfare Sacrificed.

Editors Note--General Charles E. Sawyer is not only a great physician and surgeon.
