There Is no scOmmOner cause of his'

dency to read the events Of the past
teo exclusively In the light Of the
present; and SO twist the cold and IN
conscious record into the training
service of controversial politics. And
yet history is inevitably to a great ex-
tent a work of the Imagination. No
good historian is content merely to re-
peat the record Of the past. He has
to understand it. to see behind it, to
ind more in 1t than it actually says.
He cannot understand without the use
Of his constructive Imagination, and
ne cannot imagine effectively with
out the use Of his experience. I be-
sieve it is one of the marks of a
great historian to see both present and
past, as 1t were, with the same I'M.
efouded eye. to realize the past story
rs if it were now proceeding before
him, and envisaEsathe present much
in the same perspective as it will bear
when It is as one chapter, OF 80 many
pages, in the great volume Of the past.
We know in Gibbons case how
much the historian Of the Roman en-
pire learnt from the captain Of the
Hampshire grenadiers. And 1t would
surely be folly to tell man who had
Aved through the French or Russian
revolution to forget his own expert
ence when he came to treat of similar
events in history-Gilbert Murray.

account of the two communicable
disease groups - tuberculosis and
severe cases of venereal diseases.
"These facts about the amount
and nature of disability have their
Importance in considering the mill
tary power of the United States.
Their significance for civil life is
less. Because one-third or even
one-fourth of males twenty to thirty
years of age are physically unfit to
fight it does not follow that so large
a proportion are handicapped in
appreciable degree for civil life.
Combatant forces have to move on
their feet often great distances each
day and carry a load Of forty
pounds or more on the back. A
man who weighs only 100 pounds,
however healthy and however
strong he may be for his size, can
rarely do this. But his small size
may even be an advantage in civil
life.
again, many a man with a ten
dency toward fatfoot or hernia
do his work in civil life well and
always enjoy excellent health and
be really unaware Of any weakness,
but his presence may handicap COM
batant troops. Defects in sense or
gans again are less important in
civil life than in warfare, and the
stress Of struggle, work and excite
ment on the battlefield requires
degree Of perfection in heart nc
tion and innervation that is rarely
demanded in civil life. On the other
hand, nearly all the disabilities
found in the nervous and mental
group, and also tuberculosis and
symptoms Of venereal disease, are
a handicap in civil life.
"The amount Of vencreal disease
present seems also somewhat in

district Of 9 per 1000, and rural
districts of per 1000. AS con-
cluded in another part of this paper,
the excess of defective vision in large
cities is probably due to the circum-
stance that those races which have
congenitally defective eyes are most
apt to be found in our large cities.
Strabismus, or cross-eye, is rather
more apt to occur In urban than
rural districts, but in a large city
like New York is less common than
in the average city. The excess of de-
fects of vision in cities is due less
to myopia than to astigmatlsm.
Astigmatism, indeed, is one OF the
great defects found in large cities.
In New York the rate is per /. 900,
in Philadelphia at least l.5 per 1,0OO,
in the average city 0.76, and in
rural districts 0.38. Chicago occu-
pies an anomalous position with its
rate. O.O9. Conjunctivitis of the
ordinary type is relatively rare in
large cities, commoner in small ones,
and still commoner in rural districts.
II is impossible to say whether this
is due to greater hygienic neglect in
rural districts or to relative sus-
ceptibility of those living In such
districts.
The line between cities and rural
districts was drawn by the follow
ing criterion: All counties having
only one local board were consid-
cred rural districts. Those having
two or more local boards were con-
sidered as cities or densely popu-
lated counties.
1t may be concluded subsequent

army for disability. In the final
treatment it is proposed to take up
many matters that are considered
,nly Professionally here.
"Some of the conclusions of this
study, even though provisional, may
be succinctly stated. The severity
nf the physical examination stand
ards varied during the periods under
consideration. Beginning with
rigor comparable to that Of the re-
cruiting standards Of the pre-war
days, the standards became more
liberal for the local boards, from
July, 1917, to February, 1918.
After that time three groups of
accepted recruits appear, of which
that destined for general military
service was selected with something
of a return to the original strict
ness; the bars were let down for
the groups of men admitted to linn
tied or special service, while for
others induction was deferred
awaiting remediable treatment.
"The relative frequency of the
different causes of rejection is
matter Of perennial interest. From
fairly complete returns as to rejec-
tions at local boards, at mobiliza-
ton camps and of discharges on ac-
count of disability in camps, the
Provost Marshal General concludes
that during the first four months of
mobilization about one-third of the
men who were physically examined
were rejected on physical grounds
and during the following eight
months about one-fourth Of such
men were rejected. The Provost
Marshal Generals figures indicate
that about 22 per cent of the rejec-
tions were caused by some mechani-
cal defect in the organism, or rather
some defect or disease that would
interfere with its mechanical per-
formance, such as defects in
New-York tribune., 1919-07-06

versely correlated with density OF
population. Thus, for New York
City the ratio is 13 per 1000; for
Chicago, %; for all cities, 26; for
rural districts, 80. There are, to be
sure, fluctuations in the amount of
venereal diseases found which are in
dependent of the size Of the cities,
such as the large amount, Fl per
1000, found in Philadelphia, and
the small amount, 13 per 1000,
found in Boston. The one fact that
stands out clearly is that there is
about one-ffth more venereal disease
to be found in the rural districts
than in cities. On the other hand,
chronic alcoholism is, on the whole,
more characteristic of cities than
rural districts, though both New
York and Chicago give ratio of
10 per 1000, as contrasted with 16
for all cities. Drug addiction is
strikingly more prevalent in the
large cities, and, above all, New
York City than it is in rural dis
tricts. Indeed, as stated above, New
York City seems to be the centre of
this vice.
Epilepsy is commoner in rural
than in urban districts; however, in
some cities, like Boston, it is far in
excess of the rural districts. Mental
deficiency is more than twice as
common in rural than in urban dis
tricts, and more than twice as COM
mon in the average city as it is
in the largest cities, like New York
and Chicago. In these cities the rate
is O.6 per 900, in urban districts in
general, 1.2, and in rural districts,
2.8. Approximately the same result

Of lower extremity, curvature OF

other recent wounds.
"a resume of these defects indi-
Gates a striking freedom from pull
monary tuberculosis in the popula-
ton of New York City, a result
which has been confirmed by cer-
tain civil surveys made Of the pop
ulation. The small amount of vari-
cocele associated also with rela-
lively small amount of varlcose
veins and hemorrhoids suggests a
population of low structure. The
relatively few defects of bones and
organs of locomotion suggest a pop
ulation protected against injuries
from accident. The small amount
of curvature of the spine is perhaps
associated with relative freedom
from tuberculosis and the prevail
ingly short stature.

City in 1910 was only 19 per cent

Irish constituted the smaller ard

population. The absence Of thos
defects such as breaking down sf
walls of blood vessels, which are
associated with large stature, are
noteworthy for their relative infre'
ouency. The small amount Of tu-
berculosis and tonsillitis suggests
highly resistant population, prob
ably rendered immune through
