“Series of lectures delivered last year under the Louis Clark Vanuxem foundation at Princeton university by Henry Herbert Goddard, director of the bureau of juvenile research of Ohio, have just been published under the title, ‘Human efficiency and levels of intelligence.’” (Springf’d Republican) “The lectures explain how the recognition of different degrees of intelligence among children and adults can effect greater social efficiency by aiding each person to train for the work and responsibility which his mental equipment warrants. Tests are used as a conscious control of delinquency and the feeble-minded are protected and directed to aid in their own support. The author’s work with soldiers has shown an astonishing degree of variation in intelligence among normal people.” (Booklist)

The author claims to have discovered a method by which man can live in beauty and health for more than a hundred years. It is based on the theory that perfect health requires absolute rectitude of form without which static equilibrium and harmony of the organic functions are impossible. The method consists of a system of “superficial tractile rubbings” by which the free circulation of “the rotary molecular current” is reestablished throughout the cells of the organized being. The book falls into two parts, of which the first develops the law on which the theory is based and the second treats of the method. Some of the chapters in part two are: Causes of alteration in form; The rectitude of forms; Rectification of form.
“The book contains much suggestive argument and speculation.”
