Abstract
DURING the war it was found that the physical condition of many of our young men was far from satisfactory, and there can be but little doubt that one of the contributory causes to this state of affairs was the ill-ventilated dwellings and factories in which such men frequently had to live and work, combined with a lack of opportunity or disinclination to take exercise. For example, in one region of England, of 200 youths of eighteen to twenty years of age examined.and rejected, no fewer than eighty-five failed to pass on account of poor physique and other physical defects.
