Show THE PAY30NIAN, PAY30N, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Physical Manhood of Nation Weak, Says Eminent M. D. 00000000000000000000XXC0XXXXX0000CHARLES E. SAWYER. UY Editors Note. General Charles E. great physician Sawyer is uot only and surgeon. He is in addition a groat student of manhood and his work as in the one of the ranking officers army medicul corps has placed him in a position to know the true condiman. tion of the nations physicial Lood. That ho is unafraid to declare ' tho condition verging on the tragic is a fortunate thing for those Americans who are not blinded by a false egotism pride in birth and national and who hail with pleasure any step taken to right the condition. Americas physical manhood is materially deficient. Its mental capacity is of a medio-ertype. Harsh and cruel as these statements may sound they are only the records made grim findings of the when tho World War forced examinations of Americas manhood. Tho knife of a surgeon may seem cruel in its relentless cutting but the results obtained more than justify the method. If we are brought to a realization of our needs through a frank if smarting application of truth then we have taken the first step toward a mitiouul health and higher grade of mentality. Such a realization is growing and the nation today is moving toward some system that will cnange us from a body of men shot through with physical weakness to a physical perfection that will make us not only strong as individuals but will make us strong as a nation, a need greatly to be desired 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 bo 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 countries that have developed power as tho history of the world relates accomplishment, have done so through strength and vigor. Strength both of body and character comes from contact and the practice of systematized policies of devel. opment are necessary for. both. , ; Our Health Becord. The records of the World War reveal the fact that Americas physical manhood is . materially deficient and its mental capacity of a very mediocre type. The findings of the draft boards as applied to men training for soldiers shows only 67H per cent of the flower of the countys manhood in physical condition to stand wars vicissitudes. These same war records show another distressing and surpris ing situation a regards the mentality of our people. Of all tne men who went into service only 4 . per cent showed very superior intelligence, 16 H per cent high average intelligence, 20 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 norrosj. mentality, representimVify only the men-t- l "the age of 14 years and abjliiy-T-Jf Aess. These are Teally startling sta. . tistics and Certainly indicate greet need of much special attention to the individual citizen if America is to keep step with the march of progress ns a nation. Had we put the physical tests by which wo measure soldiers to all the pcoplo of tho United States, we should have found our- -- . selves less than fifty per cent petent. Welfare In the hurry of development, surely Pride in Strength. . America has pride in being competent in industrial capacity, in financial strength and in commercial relations. Bhe has pride in progress in the development of all of the affairs in which any nation should be interested, such aB its manufacturers, its mines and mining, its quarries and quarrying, its waterways and transportation facilities; in fact she has been expert and capable in assembling all the things and materials from which we have grown to our present position as 'a splendid nation of in. genius people. We can reasonably claim right to the title of leader in many of the national and international affairs and from the progressive disposition of the post we might reasonably contemplate perpetuity as a people but without some extra precaution, some special effort, instead of continuing a strong and accomplishing race wo will become so weakened in our physical forces ns to bring to ourselves the liability of early degeneration and . Neod of Resistance. To perpetuate the American nation we must have special resistance against the iuroads of disease and the liabilities of increasing limitations in our living accommodations. Our combat with influenza showed how incapable we are of positive resistance. Were this not truo we would not have sacrificed nearly 300,000 of our citizens through the mortality list of influenza. Ninety yfars ago the Hawaiian Islands had n population of 132,000 natives. The race seemed capable of meeting all of the afflictions as they had to bear in all of the affairs of their life, with a fair prospect of reasonable Istgovay" as 'T facer Today they represent a pcoplo numbered by and 19,000 21,000 pure Hawaiians mixed. This ig due to the fact that they became the subjects of tuberculosis, venereal disease, drug habits, imperfect and unfavorble sanitation, and a total lack of physical upkeep, believing that the missionary ws capable of caring for them they became indefferont to the natural act. long arid practices of their people. They were spoiled by the extension to and Such a bank is Zion's Savings Bank & Trust Company with depositors in many foreign lands and a record of 126 dividends since 1873. 4 in the necessities of production and out of the consequences of competitive 'existence, the rule iu America has been to sacrifice not only natural endowments but ulso physical . welfare. America in the strength of its youth has been improvident and with, out due consideration for the consequences of extravagant drain upon our greatest resources, i. e., health. It is true that we have employed some simple forms of ealistheuie exercises in our schools. We have had a limited amount of physical development under vountary military instruction; we play some golf and a very limited number play baseball and basketball, but on the whole America has paid little heed and given but little attention to the proper development of the individual as a class. We are at last thinking in tho language of how to bo big and strong, competent, powerful, potential and and with this thought possessing many of the leading minds of America are today giving specific attention to the creation of some general sys. tern of physical development which will Je broad enough in its scope of application to reach both male and and those female, young, middle-ageInter in life.

UTAH, FEBRUARY 10, them of righta and privileges which they had never had before, and because they took no precaution in the maintenance of their physical manhood, they have succumbed to the inroads of disuse and today are almost an exterminated race.' America today is big and strong and may well assume to iteelf the leadership and protectorate of the affairs of the world. But unless we aire able to maintain a continued resistance, unless we develop some national system of physical maintenance by which we can improve our longevity and decrease our mortality, wo will not be able tto continue the command-ershito which we are justly entit. ourled. In fact we may subject selves to the same disastrous consequences that came to Hawaiis p of T. B- Men and women resist digeelse by the strength of their own physical Cause capacity. Without physical strength they yield much more readily to disease afflictions. That is why today we are showing such a large precentage of cases of tuberculosis. With all of out experience and the observations we have taken, with all the rules and regulations of protection so far as Instituted, the precentage of tubercular subjects in the United States of America continues about the aame. This would be very different were we more powerful physically. For these reasons and many others which might be enumerated, I wish to emphasize the fact that if America' ia to remain in the vanguard of nations, then it Is very important that we establish a broadcast,- - universal plan of physical improvement.
