This Is understand able since the public is so vital ly interested in every phase of selective .service. There is a sat isfactory explanation for it end the public is entitled to the ex planation. Prior to January 1. 1912. com plete phy.sical examinations were given the selectees by local board examining physicians. After a few montlH of experienc'i. the.si physicians were 1 passing men who verv clo.sely met the army'.s requiremen s. Rejections at the indiu'tion station at that tinio were almost entirely of men wit.i borderline co|diUotis. men wbo had contracted diseases betweeti ■he time of their local examiiia- tion and the time of their deliv ery for induction, and men re jected ari a result of the cheat X- rays which were never a part of the local examination. Under the regulations now in force, the_ local examining physi- * clans do not make a comprehen- BETTER REPAIR 1.

In f.ict. they make only a casual, ‘‘screening” examine tion and are guided by a list of defects, one part of which sets forth non-remediable physi cal conditions which manifestly dii-quollfy the selectee for all mil- i'ary service, and the second part of which sets forth these non- remediable physical conditions disqualify for service. but qualify for limited service. The local examining physician has no alternative but to follow this list specifically. Wi‘h these limita tions the examining physicia^ can reject little more than the ob viously unfit. Another reason for the large number of rejections is that local boards no longer have the author ity to disqualify registrants who are below the minimum literacy standards for military service. Prior to January 1. 19i2. they had such authority and did not send for induction registrants who were below- such standards. Regulations now provide tlmt all such men, otherwise qualified for military service, must be sent to the indue'ion station for final check and rejection by the army. It car readily be appreciated by those who understand the regulations in force that e. high percentage of the men forwarded for Induction may be expected to be rejected for the reasons above given and local hoards and examining physicians should not be criticized for a condition over which they have no control. They hove no choice but to send the men to the indue ion station ev en if they have reason to believe that a large number will be rejec ted On account of their physical condition or lack of educational qualifications.
