Physical Degeneration

A RECENT physical examination of the New Mexico National Guard is reported (New York Times of May 21, 1916) to have disclosed that fifty per cent of the militia men examined are not fit for service. Adjt. Gen. H. T. Herring is reported to have left for San Antonio for a conference with General Funston in an attempt to have the physical examination waived. This should be a striking evidence against those who claim that the human race is not losing its efficiency. It matters little whether this loss is due to the way the individuals live or to the weakened heritage which they receive from their parents.
