Rules for Examination.

huleS LOT EAdinindttOhs
These orders have been received by
the exemption board on methods OF
examination:
One member of the exemption
board other than the physicion must
he present at all physical examina-
tions. The board should arrange so
that the physician will not have to
wait between examinations.
Make use of the services of other
county officials, their deputies, or
loyal citizens who will give their
time from a patriotic standpoint. The
various members of the exemption
boards have been giving great deal
OF their time from a patriotic stand
point and there is no reason why
some of the other citizens of your
county cannot help you out with
little of their time. Possibly some
merchant will send you one of his
clerks if it is put up to him in the
right light.
One man should be stationed at the
entrance to give instructions to per-
sons to be examined; to make out or
assist him in making out the first
page of form IA to require him to
undress and be ready for examination
when the physician is ready for him
to give him such other information
as will facilitate the examination.
Endeavor to get another man for
each of the physician who will rec
crd the answers as given by the ply
as this will save the physic
ians from stopping to write the an
swers.
The assisting examining physician
is to make original examinations the
same as the physician who is mem
ber of the board. The physicians are

10 both physicians working in the
same room, providing they can work
some distance apart
Should either physician turn a sub
ect down on account of physical dis
,bility it will be necessary for the
,ther physician to make an examina-
ion. The second physician should
lot be informed as to why the first
,hysician rejected the subject Then
t the second physician passes him he
S to be considered fit for service; if
lie turns him down and the board is
atisfied, he is discharged. However
ven after both physicians reject him,
the board is not satisfied they may
Gritty him as fit for service.
The assisting examining physician
oes not have to vote as a member of
he exemption board but his examina-
ions have the same weight as the ex-
