Synopsis

Excerpt from Physical Examination of the First Million Draft Recruits: Methods and Results

A comparison is made of the defects found at mobilization camps of men coming from rural and from urban communities, and, in detail, from four large cities - New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston. It appears from the second report of the Provost Marshal General (p. 159) that local boards rejected from certain selected urban regions, per cent, and from rural regions, per cent. The total defects found in such urban recruits were in a hun dred, and in rural recruits per hundred. Probably only a part of the excess of rejections found by local boards in urban regions is due to an inferior physique of city men; it is doubtless m large opart due to the more critical examinations made by the medical examiners of the cities.
