Excerpt from Journal of Social Hygiene, Vol. 16
At the close of the old year's work and the beginning of the new it is fitting that we pause and survey the horizon, to look again to the direction in which we are travelling, how far and how fast we have come on our road. For we have travelled. Certain sign-posts passed indicate that we are really moving. It has not always been easy, for even now, after years of going, we have oftentimes to build our own road - break the new ground of experimental method, blast out the last deep-rooted stumps of old prejudices, and push aside with all our strength the boulders of indifferent or opposing public opinion. Showers and wind flurries have blown about our shoulders, but sunshine and rainbows have come again, and no effort has gone without result.
Shall we say our goal is a place where sound heredity and education make life happier and less troubled with emotional strain, where the environment contributes to socially and individually acceptable behavior, and such satisfactions as accrue thereto?
In attaining this goal social hygiene has played its part.
