Présentation de l'éditeur

Physical reconstruction is the watchword of the hour and yet the picture brought to mind by this phrase is but a small part of a greater problem, the physical reconstruction of the race. That there is need for such reconstruction among us is evident from any study of the rejection from service for physical disability which the draft examinations brought forth. We have become a city-dwelling nation, and are subject to the innumerable deleterious influences which follow in the wake of city life and intense industrial competition. The meager beginnings of playground and physical education appropriations and infant welfare movements have as yet in no way compensated the child for his rapid loss of outdoor life and freedom. The physician must be deeply concerned with every effort to improve child hygiene. He is specifically concerned with the problem of prevention and cure of remedial physical defects. In this book concrete directions are given regarding -spinal curvature, congenital defects, rickets and other orthopedic conditions. The question of competitive athletics and its relation to health in youth of both boys and girls is considered and certain definite rules for safeguards are laid down. In the reconstruction of the wounded soldier, in which we and our allies are now engaged, much that is new and of great value has been learned.
