Abstract

Colonel Keefer, who advises that every health officer become a member of the A. P. H. A., outlines the story of army rejections and analyzes the causes. Health officers hold the strategic position. They should invoke prevention, get statistics, establish machinery for corrective work and foster and direct public opinion through education.
