Du moins, c'est fut immédiatement ma façon de le juger. S'en aperçut-il? Il ne faut pas avoir peur, Mademoiselle: je viens pour vous soigner, et je constate qu'il en est temps. Je ne suis nullement malade, il était bien inutile de vous déplacer pour moi. Il sourit, si une grimace peut tenir lieu de sourire, en me laissant voir le pour achever ma conquête, des dents françaises, nous voudrions faire comprendre qu'il faut changer aussi la manière de vivre des hommes. Sans prêcher le retour aux cavernes et aux huttes de nos ancêtres, il est urgent que les hommes deviennent assez forts pour dominer les perfectionnements matériels de la vie et n'en pas demeurer les esclaves. Les mois qui viennent seront durs. Sans être pessimiste, on peut dire que beaucoup de Français auront froid, auront perdu leurs habitudes de confort, sans doute auront faim. Eh bien, à certains égards, on peut dire tant mieux! Profitons de cette pénitence imposée par les circonstances pour rompre avec ce souci du bien-être nous y gagnerons l'endurance du corps et l'énergie de l'esprit. Maîtrisons ce corps, que nous avons tant dorloté ces dernières années. Dans son livre L'homme, un inconnu, Carrel proteste violemment contre l'éducation déplorable de notre système sensitif. Pour faire des hommes résistants et hardis, dit-il, il faut utiliser les longues hivers des innérimines. Dans les pays aux saisons alternativement brûlantes et glacées ou ceux où il y a des brouillards froids et peu de lumière, qui sont battus par les ouragans, ceux dont la terre est pauvre et couverte de rochers. C'est dans de telles régions qu'on pourrait placer les écoles destinées à la formation d'une élite dure et ardente. Les générations qui viennent trouveront dans les "Camp de Jeunesse" et les "Camp de Travail" l'éducation rude des corps, sans laquelle il ne peut exister de peuple vraiment fort. Pour nous, chrétiens, la résistance physique à la souffrance appelle d'autres réflexions.
