UNIFORM STANDARDS OF
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS

Uniform standards of physical ex-
aminations governing entrance into
all branches of the regular army, the
national army and the National
Guard have been adopted by the war
department and will be observed by
the army medical department and the
local and medical advisory boards
under the selective service regula-
tions.
Observance of the new rules and
regulations by the local boards will
result, At is believed. in uniform ex-
aminations in all parts of the coun-
try and should prevent men physic-
ally disqualified for military service
from being sent out to camps. The
new standards also will enable local
physicians to make examinations with
a better understanding of the needs
of the army and will clear any mis-
conceptions and understandings that
might result in the sending to the
camps of men who had been rejected.
Heretofore the physical standards
of the three armies have differed
and instances have been noted where
men who have been rejected for SER
vic by the recruiting officers of the
regular army have been accepted for
military service by draft board ply
sicians. Under the new uniform
standards this will not be possible
unless the disqualifying defect has
been removed. The rule for all three
armies is that to make good soldier
a man must be able to see well. have
comparatively good hearing, his
heart must.be able to stand the stress
of physical exertion, he must be in
telligent enough to understand and
execute military maneuvers. obey
commands. protect himself and must
be able to transport himself by walk
ing as the exigencies of military life
may demand
Exceptions from the new standard
rules are made in the case of men
selected for special and limited ser
vice
The experience of the past year
has enabled the medical authorities
to establish these new standards of
examinations which will relieve the
local boards of doubt as to decisions
in unusual cass. Enough such cases
have been examined to establish a
policy in determining their military
fitness. Instructions are given as to
what classes of men may be accept
ed for limited service. and for treat
ment for remediable defects.

the absence of a military tradition
such as our enemies possess, in the
lack of an extensive officer caste
trained to war, was it possible for
us to organize armies capable of
withstanding the shock of German
assaults? The question was more
