A NOTE TO OUR READERS


from Oscar Falconi, President of Wholesale Nutrition

I am deeply concerned about the obvious decline of the United States and of its people. Along with the decrease of the national I.Q. (3 points per century!), are the deterioration of our educational standards, our morals, and our work ethic. Inferior persons, of all races, are proliferating at a distressing rate. Crime rates are scandalous. Much of this is expanded upon in my booklet, "Where's America's Gene Pool Heading", written in 1987. But back in 1981, "The Manpower Quality Decline", a marvelous overview by Rimland and Larson, puts our dilemma before us in a more scholarly way. It is available from us for $3. This booklet is too long to add to our web page, but we'll avail you of its preface, and to the "Southern Psychologist" editorial.

P R E F A C E

The review article, "The Manpower Quality Decline", by Rimland and Larson, first appeared in ARMED FORCES AND SOCIETY, Vol. 8 No. 1, Fall 1981. The identical article appeared again in the Spring, 1983, issue of THE SOUTHERN PSYCHOLOGIST preceded by the following editorial:

E D I T O R I A L

This entire issue of the SOUTHERN PSYCHOLOGIST is devoted to a monograph by Dr Bernard Rimland and Gerald E.Larson. It is one of the most SIGNIFICANT ARTICLES THIS EDITOR HAS EVER READ. You are urged to take the time to read this monograph in its entirety. And when you do, it would surprise your Editor if you do not agree that Rimland and Larson's review/analysis is one of the most significant you have ever read. The authors' recommendations for attempting to remedy the manpower quality decline are recognized by them to be controversial. Nevertheless, in the light of the comprehensive scholarship manifested by the authors, their recommendation for biologically-based research, testing the substance of their contentions, cannot lightly be dismissed.

We are deeply indebted to authors Rimland and Larson for their permission, and to Founding Editor Morris Janowitz of ARMED FORCES AND SOCIETY for his gracious consent, to reprint this monograph.
