This is a world in which population is pyramiding so fast that colleges cannot keep up with the need for adequately trained practitioners in the healing arts. This is an era in which international perils and home-front exactions make health and efficiency a matter of paramount concern. This means you will be asked to give to your work not only more hours but more intense and concentrated effort. These, I am sure, you trill give gladly and generously. That is the kind of dedication toward which your education in chiropody has been pointed. Robert L. Johnson PRESIDENT
