The state of the national health, as
revealed by the draft, seems to have
been really the most sensational fact,
of the war, says Frederic J. Haskln
in the Chicago News. It has spurred
congress to project and hold hearings
upon comprehensive measures for
physical education. It seems to have
made a deep Impression upon every
thoughtful person In the country. If
about half of the young men which
the United States produces are weak,
sick, undersized, crippled or other-
wise Inefficient, what is going to be-
come of us as a nation?
These seem to be the questions that
thoughtful Americans are asking
themselves. They stand out all over
the voluminous hearings upon the
Fess bill for physical education.
Bill Provides Fund.
This measure provides for a large
appropriation to be divided among the
states for use in promoting physical
education, on the condition that each
State must itself appropriate as inuch
«s it receives from the federal gov-
ernment.

Reasons Are Interesting.
Most Interesting are the reasons
which various experts assigned for the
low physical standard of manhood
prevailing ln this country.
Doctor Raycroft assigns two princi-
pal ones. He calls them urbanization
and Industry. By urbanization he
means the crowding of people into
dtles. He declares that, ln spite of
allegations to the contrary, the re-
cruits from rural districts showed a
higher physical average than those
from the cities. Undoubtedly the
great army of poorly paid office work-
ers, who lead sedentary lives and get
almost no adequate recreation, is one
*>lg factor in the low average of
ftealth. Doctor Raycroft also seems
to believe that many of the workers In
our great industries are doomed by
their occupations to ill health. He
further believes that we are admitting
great numbers of weak immigrants
who are lowering the national aver-
age of physical fitness.
