SELECTIVE SERVICE REVEALS
HIGH RATE OF VENEREAL DISEASE

General Thomas L. GraySon, State
Director of Selective Service, re-
Gently emphasized Genito- urinary
defects and venereal diseases as
the second main cause for rejection
of Mississippi registrants at this
time.
The seriousness of this situation
in the state is readily revealed
when an analysis is made of the
43,957 examinations conducted by
local Selective Boards from Deem
Der 1910 through June 80, 1910. Out
of the 1878 white registrants in
Guided in this number, 521 were
found to have positive evidence OF
syphilis. Examination of 24,108 Ne
groes over the same period revealed
5000 as having the same disease
This represents 81 per cent of the
white registrants and 28.9 per cent
of the Negro registrants showing
positive evidence of syphilis.
General Grayson's appeal in this
connection is repeated. In view
of these alarming revelations the

found to consist of men who will
voluntarily, or with urging, correct
their disabilities and a probably
disappointing number who will be

all probability, those with diseases
susceptible of correction should and
will ultimately become the direct
responsibility of the government.
Meantime, however, each county
and community should address it
self to the problem in an effort to
improve the deplorable condition
presented by the above figures. This
will involve careful planning and
cooperation on the part of state
and local health and welfare
groups"
