EVERY CADET RECEIVES
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Lieuts. Butsky and McCarley
Army SurgenOs From Camp
Funston, Inspect Corps.

From W. NJ. A. Trumpeter.
The first thorough physical exam
nation of the corps was given at
Wentworth last Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday by Lieutenants But
sky and Mccartney, army surgeons
from Camp Funston. These men,
both of them highly experienced from
examining applicants for training
camps, we're sent to Wentworth by
the U. S. Wan Department. Every
cadet was examined most closely and
a report made to the school authori-
ties on his condition. Sight and hear
ing were tested. Lungs, heart and
breathing were examined. Inspect
ion was made for hernia or threat
ened hernia. In fact, every cadet was
gone over in a systematic way and
if anything was wrong, it was found
out,
But the examining doctors found
the corps in good condition. GAS fine
a crowd of boys as l have ever seem"
was Lieutenant Butsky's remark. He
said that he found not a single tu-
bercular boy in school. A few were
found who needed chest development.
Two or three were discovered with
weak or athletic hearts. For each
one of these a certain kind of exer-
else was prescribed by the doctors
and their orders will be carried out.
Several boys found small minor all
ments, which, though unimpOrtant
now, might later develop into some
thing serious. Thanks to the physi-
cal Examination, these could be east
ly corrected.
But on the whole the cadets were
in fine physical trim. This examina-
ton was the first Of a series during
the year. Such an inspection by skill
ed and experienced army surgeons
will enable the school to more intel
hgently carry forward its physica
instruction.
