Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Adjutant-General of the State of North Carolina for the Year, 1919
It will be noted that this table shows marked improvement in all lines over previous reports, with the exception Of the physical examination Of the enlisted personnel. It has been a physical impossibility to comply strictly with the re quirements of the War Department in this particular, due to the fact that no funds have been provided by either the State or the Federal Government for meeting the expenses. The Medical Officers have in some cases examined the men enlisted in organizations located in the same town. This work has been done by such Officers without compensation. Inasmuch. As the examination is required by the Federal authorities it would seem that provision should be made whereby the expenses in this connection could be met. It would be to the interest Of the Federal Government to do so for the reason that in the event Of a call for Federal service a very great expense could be saved which would be caused under present conditions if men physically unfit should be sent to a mobilization camp, examined and found unfit. The expenses Of their pay, subsistence, and transportation would fall on the Federal Govern ment. This Office has exerted every effort to eliminate the physically unfit. Attention is invited to Table, no. 1.
