Excerpt from The Journal of Industrial Hygiene, Vol. 1: May, 1919-April, 1920 Each month of the war witnessed an improvement in many of these concerns. If the same forces which were so inde fatigable in their efforts for conserving the health and efficiency of the industrial army during the war will only carry over these efforts into the reconstruction period, an entirely new standard of existence will result for the working people of the land, the great army who must produce and provide. Thus, in the course of one short decade, broad humanizing principles Combined with scientific medical and surgical work have permanently established in the medi cal profession this far-reaching health service - Industrial Medicine and Surgery.

Excerpt from The Journal of Industrial Hygiene, Vol. 2: May, 1920-April 1921 The three fields of public, social, and in dividual practice in psychiatry are thus well logically in mind in Massachusetts, as indeed they are becoming clear to most other Atlantic seaboard states and to all urbanized communities that have faithfully undertaken the work of mental hygiene on approved lines. Yet some of us, I fear, may still regard this intermediary field of social psychiatry more as a theory than a con dition. Luckily, the men who think prac tice more important than theory are fast dying out or undergoing belated conver sion through reflection on the successes of theory in the Great War. If, however, you actually do meet one of these incorrigible practical men who will see nothing in theory, it is as a rule enough to show him the results of social psychiatric practice among. The relatives of, the victims of neurosyphilis general paresis and the like - to convince him that mental hy giene has unlocked a brilliant and cifica cions novelty for public health in its work upon the se - called syphilis of the inno cent. I make this point about social psychiatric practice somewhat at length, not so much for my present hearers as for others who may read the printed remarks and wonder whether after all there exists a personnel to attack such widely ramifying problems as those of industrial psychiatry. There does exist the appropriate personnel for work in industrial psychiatry. There is, to be sure, not enough such personnel; but there do exist competent workers who can be multiplied as soon as industrialists begin to crave this personnel and as soon as psychiatrists see the peculiar values of the new work.
