Application of existing medical knowledge could be used to prevent sickness in the U.S. One-half of the losses incurred in industrial accidents could be prevented through the use of known laws governing the operation of fatigue. Engineers have asserted that technical knowledge is now available which if put to work would practically banish poverty, more than double the standard of living, turn ugly cities into noble ones, and bring the culture of the town to the countryside. The American Library Association wonders how all this knowledge lying quietly on shelves of libraries, may be awakened and put to work.
