Dr. J. A. Nydegger of the Uni ted 'States Public Health Service, who is authority for the - comparison:-accounts for this difference through: the lack of medical inspection ,. in the J country schools. He 'says: - V "While in this country most of the city schools have adopted medical in- spection, most of the rural institutions have none. In this lies the fact that insanitary defects which are today barring ' men from the .United States forces. Defective eyes, teetn, eaTS !and throats among the youth of rural communities have been found to be due Jiargely to conditions in the rural schools.. Improper desks and seats also Have caused much spinal curva ture, leading to other faulty condi tions. These conditions ought to . be corrected at once, and school children all over the country should be examin ed because defects arising, at their period of life as a rule cannot be over. coine later.'.' . ,..
