P. 2
WONDER how many chiropractors realize the tre
mendous struggle that is going on between chiro
practors and those other practitioners who are
parading under the fair name o f Chiropractic, but
who practice anything but that? I wonder how many of
us realize the organized, concerted effort that is being
made to strangle the movement o f us straight chiroprac
tors for the ultimate goal fo r which we are striving? I
feel that if everyone o f us were fully awake to the situ
ation, we would be more actively engaged than we are in
protecting our interests.
The P.S.G. has staked its future upon the belief that the
straight boys and girls in the field were squarely behind
us, when it came to protecting the interests of Chiroprac
tic. We saw that the ultimate end o f permitting other
methods to parade under our good name would eventually
lead to oblivion and lost confidence in the public mind, be
cause there would be many brands of Chiropractic so far
as the public believed.
For this reason we set about to educate the public as
thoroughly as we know how on the subject o f Chiropractic.
We have educated them only on Chiropractic. We have
made no attempt to cater to the hanger-on who is at
tempting to ride to success on our good name. As a mat
ter of fact, the campaign of The Palmer School has been
effective in bringing to the public the message o f what
Chiropractic is, and in just the proportion that it has done
this, it has affected the business of the hanger-on. This
could have only one result, and we foresaw it in the be
ginning; yet, because o f our confidence, and because o f the
fact that we knew the public had a right to the facts, we
carried on our campaign.
The natural result o f it all is that every anti in and out
o f the profession, is organized against us. Every man
whose business has been hit by our campaign, is no longer
a passive enemy, but he is an active fighting machine, or
ganized with all o f the other antis in a crusade and a
campaign against The Palmer School.
We are frank to admit that this campaign has hurt us.
We are frank in telling you straight boys that the work
of the antis has been effective, in part, and that today we
seriously feel the effects o f that organization. Our future
rests in your hands. We have always had faith in you.
We still have faith in you, but we want you to realize just
exactly the situation we are in, and we want you to re
double your efforts to bring students to The Palmer School
FOR THIS COMING SEPTEMBER CLASS, because by
this method alone will we be able to carry on our cam
paign of keeping Chiropractic clean. Our battle is your
battle; our interests are your interests, and our aims are
the same. The campaign that we have been carrying on
bsc been for the purpose o f protecting the public, o f pro
tecting Chiropractic, and o f protecting you. In return we
are squarely asking that you get behind us actively and
fight to bring to The P.S.C. the support that it must have
to continue. _»
