Examination

A boy should be examined by his family physirian before going to camp in order that he may receive the greatest good from the camp life and be safeguarded from physical excess. An examination blank like tliat shown on the next page is used in many of tlie large camps. When the boy arrives in camp (he physician or physical director examines the boy. Take his height, weight, lung capacity, condition of heart, lungs, condition of muscles, whether hard, medium or soft, and state of digestion. For this purpose you will need a wet spirometer,[I] measuring rod, stethoscope and platform scales. A second blank with carbon duplicate, is kept of every boy.

[Transcriber's Footnote I: spirometer: An instrument for measuring the volume of air entering and leaving the lungs.]
