Abstract
This brief article provides charts and statistics on the causes for rejection from the draft of Navajo (and other racial groups) in Arizona during World War II. Since very few statistics exist elsewhere showing the percentages suffering from various diseases, the material is of considerable value. The author, an ethnologist, who was serving as assistant induction and recruiting officer for the state of Arizona, found that after illiteracy, the principal causes for rejection were trachoma and ear, nose and throat ailments.
