Such la not the mere boaat of any cltlaen of thla elate, barked only by a high aenae of local pride, but It le the aetahllahed record of the United State« Army, communicated to the Oregon Social Hygiene Society by Hupert illue, Surgeon General, Ibua giving It the greateat poaalbla weight Ae will be eeen by perusal of tbs foregoing telegram from Surgeon- Owtieral nine, a tabulation of KOOO.OOO of the flrrt report« rwr-elved from camp surgeon« plarea Oregon In the lead with a rate of fifty-nine hun dredths of one per rent (which means leas than all men to tha thousand), or, compared with another wire from him. this state's standing le but a fraction lower than 111 times ahead of the state with the highest per rent of Infection, which wee eight end nine tenths per ceet (eighty nine men to the thousand). This constitutes one of the grandest and proudest records of the whole war period and. grent as has been this state's part la all patriotic endeavors, aotblng rould fill the hearts of Its people with a higher degtwe of pride than the official acknowledgment from the Nettonel Capital that Oregon's men stood far and away above all others In clean manhood. "That the work of the Oregon So clal Hygiene Society, carried forward for but seven years, should produce ■ uch magnificent results. Is a subject of the most gratifying kind to tha entire Board.” said Kierutlve Secre tary Cummins. "Kvery one of the men who have worked so hard to bring about the result regard thle of flclal notification from the Surgeon- Oeaerel as a complete vlndlcatloa of the program sought to he carried for ward la thle state. That the public will respond to sane, clear facta, right* ly presented, la also demonstrated beyond doubt. Educators, who have «»a llied greatly In the work, may well feel that young men under their tuts lags will absorb the benefit to ke de rived from Information along phyalo logical lines, rightly administered Parent« n u ll now • « « plainly that their children should have the truth aa to their physical bring« and that, having this, untold good will result.” "Future generations, following, are hound to demonstrate the benefits of Oregon's clean manhood, aa eel forth officially.'' commented A. K. Klegel, president of the Society. "ThU reo ord cannot be overestimated. It la a glorious achievement.” "The full significance of the official announcement from Dr. Blue Is dlf flcull to grasp," said Adolphe Wolfe, treasurer of the Society. "Dealing as It does with human life and morals. It la. In a larger sense, more Important than many other achievements, not to detract one whit from any of them. At the outset, mnny good people doubted the ability of the Oregon So clal Hygiene Society to accomplish worthwhile results. I think now, however, no further comment need he had. Surgeon Oeneaal Blue’s tele gram la sufficient." I,leutenant-Colonel P. O. Field, dl vision surgeon of the Hist Division at Camp l.ewta. has officially credited the splendid record made by Oregon men to the educational work that has heen and le being d o n e by the Oregon Soda!
