RE-EDUCflTION OF
—
[•.Mils, Oct. 4. — A number of re !
markable scientific instruments for
measuring exactly the efficiency of
a wounded soldier to perform some
new line of useful work, have been
put in operation at the Belgian Mili
tary Institute at Port Billoz, France,
for the reeducation of mutilated sol
diers. While the outer world regards
Belgium as prostrate under the iron
hand of Germany, it is a striking tri
bute to the vitality of the country
that it has been able to establish such
institutions outside of the country.
Here at n small town between Parts
and Rouen, 1,500 wounded Belgian sol
diers. most of whom fought in the J
battle of the Yser, are being made
over for some useful occupation. A
park of 000 acres has been donated,
and extensive buildings have been
erected. So that Belgium, prostrate
as it is, has an establishment compar
ing favorably with the best English
and French institutions.
Tlie Belgians have always been fa
mous for fine mechanical appliances,
and here they have shown their genius
in this line by the use of seven or
eight new scientific instruments which
measure precisely the efficiency of a
wounded man.
