Dr.. Jackson Says Students
Are Being Fitted for
Work.

For the past three years students en-
tering Howard University have been
compelled to undergo rigid physical ex-
aminations as a part of the institutions
program for study and Improvement of
health conditions among negroes. In
much the same manner as examinations
were made upon draftees during war
days a corps of man and woman physi
clans. under the direction of DR.. A. r.
jackson. director of the School of Pub
/ lie Health, has made careful search
for physical defects among the student
body. Contrary to the general belief
held regarding the health of negroes,
these examinations, though conducted
with searching scrutiny, reveal the fact
that the selected youth of the race as it
seeks entrance at Howard is found to
be in fine physical condition.
Drawing from among the specialists
who teach in the university School of
Medicine it becomes an easy matter to
have expert service in determining the
various physical findings. From head to
foot the students are examined by these
experts, each combining himself to his
particular specially. The order of ex
animation that follows is: Height,
weight, eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth,
chest expansion, lungs heart abdomen,
spine, feet and legs. In every instance
the findings are clicked up on individual
cards, together with recommendations
and prescriptions for the various sorts
of physical education most suitable for
each case.
All male students physically fit are
assigned to the Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps for three periods and GYM
nasium for two periods per week. Those
physically unfit have prescribed for
them courses in corrective hygiene,
which aim to bring the student up to
the normal. For the woman students
who are physically fit five periods a
week are devoted to educational gym
nasucs and games, and those physically
unfit have prescribed for them that
form of corrective hygiene best suited
to the individual case.
Analysis Is Planned.
DIR. Jackson, the director. in comment
ing on the beneficial results which have
been accomplished during the three
years he has directed the work, a few
days ago said: We expect to make
complete analysis of our findings for
publication. The high sick and death
rate among the colored people is most
certainly not due to any physical or
physiological differences with other
races, but must be charged up to the
lack Of health education and that alone.
Health education will prolong the life
of saint or sinner, black or white, as it
draws neither q color or a religious line
At Howard we feel it our job to teach
health with just as much emphasis as
we teach science. religion and the
classics No race of people, / am GER
tain, can possibly rise any higher than
their health index
Three years experience in this uni
versity has proven to me that health
