Few, if any, propose, for example, to give maternity aid to the rich.

Fewer still advocate old-age pensions for those of independent incomes of moderate size.

Many see, however, that health aids should be so distributed and so universally offered and used that the standard of health may be equally raised thereby for all.

The idea that there are no people between the rich, who can pay anything asked, and those poor who can pay nothing for hospital care, diagnosis, or general medical and nursing service, is becoming an exploded one.

There is general agreement among those most intelligent in such matters that what is needed more than anything else in the field of physical culture and physical care is provision for the people of small incomes who desire to be self-supporting.
