HNY movement that will unify, co-ordinate or increase the ef
forts U'inij made to improve the mental powers of our peo
ple should make a strong appeal to the citizens of this coun
try. George Meredith's favorite prayer is said to hare
been, "More brain, O Lord, more brain 1"
CERTAINLY rational ATTEMPTS TO BETTER THE BRAIN
POWER OF A NATION SO THAT ITS INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS MAY
THINK BETTER. FEEL BETTER AND ACT BETTER THAN THEY DO
NOW SHOULD EXCITE THE SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT OF ALL
WHO WISH THE NATION WELL
It is now believed that A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR
MENTAL HYGIENE ? that is, for "health of mind" ? is not only
desirable, but also really practicable.
Provision must be made for the birth of children whose brains
shall, so far as possible, bo innately of GOOD QUALITY. This
means the denial of the privilege of parenthood to those likely to
transmit bad nervous systems to their offspring and is a task of eu
genics; second, society must be so organized that all individuals,
whether well born or ill born, shall, so far as possible, be surrounded
by those external influences which MOST FAVOR THE WEL
FARE OF TIIEIU MENTALITY.

IF we keep in mind the fr.ct that conduct, whether good or bad,
is directly related to mental states we can scarcely fail to rec
ognize the close relations which exist between mental unsonnd
ness and all the forms of abnormal conduct which characterize
the delinquent class.
Many people seem ignorant of the fact that mind includes tiot
alone "intellect, " but also the "affections"and the "will." To lUch
people "unsoundness" of mind means DISTURBANCES OF THE
REASON, anJ it is hard for them to realize that abnormal expres
sions in emotion or disorders of the will, manifesting themselves in
anomalies of conduct, can be evidences of "unsoundness of mind."
More than ever before society is coming to recognize that the
problems of criminality, of inebriety, of vagrancy and of pauperism
are closely interwoven with the problems of BRAIN DISORDER
and that efforts directed toward the diminution of the amouiit of de
linquency will be effective only in so far as they succeed aleo in
IMPROVING BRAIN QUALITY AND BRAIN FUNCTION?
that is, in so far as they provide for better acting minds.
Unsoundness of mind is A iJURDEN TO THE NATION in
more ways than one. In the first place, the economic bnrden is ?HOP'
mous. It costs the country twenty million dollars annually to eate
for its insane, and for the nation this means a loss in returns of tixty
million dollars more.
THERE IS, MOREOVER. THE OTHER LOSS DUE TO THE WOHAV
AND BURDEN OF HAVING INSANE PERSONS IN A FAMILY ClRCLfc
THIS LOSS. OF COURSE. CANNOT BE ESTIMATED AND 19 OF A
DIFFERENT KIND THAN THE FINANCIAL, AND IT IS THIS LOBS
ALONE WHICH SHOULD BE AN INCENTIVE TO ALL TO STAMP OUT
INSANITY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BY SPREADING ABROAD THE
PROPER INTERPRETATION OF ITS CAUSES ANO ITS PREVENTION.
