TO REHABILITATE
WASHINGTON. .1 *i 1 > 11 K very
man who in file army or navy is
now rcrlain that il the Herman-- “shoo?
him up" h" will not he compelled to
soil pencils, or -hoe laces to eke out
an insulin ient pension, or Im* im
mured in a soldiers' home to rust out
the yeai * until death comes to his
relief
The I niled States government has
studied the whole subject of vocational
rehabilitation of wounded and disabled
soldiers The experience oi all the
belligerents has been gone ovyr care
fully, and the marvels of re-education
accomplished by soim’* of them are
noted The federal board tor voca
tional education has been at work on
the proposition since August. 11*17.
The result is to be found in the Smith
Sears act. which passed Congress on
June 11. and provides a comprehen
sive scheme of rehabilitation for the
wounded and disabled men.
Canada has been doing this work
with great success and all of the
Canadian experience has been freely
given to the Cnited States The di
' rector of that work has been actively
I co-operating with the federal hoard
I for vocational education, and was sent
by his government to appear before
the Senate committee and testify at
the hearings of the bill, which passed
both Senate and House without a dis
: senting vote.
. I It has been demonstrated in Kurope
; and Canada, that no matter how badly
I a man may be wrecked physically, as
a generality he still has latent capa
bilities for something useful If those
capabilities may he specialzed Into
some line of trade the wounded, soldier
already knew, that is done. The ex
perience that he has had and his
| knowledge of the trade is a valuable
! foundation to build upon.
If the trade he is familiar with does
not offer an opening then he Is in
ducted to enter an allied trade where
his previous knowledge will be of
value. In some cases the man is en
tirely re-educated and for an occupa
tion entirely different from that which
he had previously followed.
It Is seldom that a man is so badly
shattered that he cannot be trained
to something useful, which he can
pursue in the consciousness that he is
doing a man's work for a man's pay
and that he is back in the current of
j civil life, a useful and happy citizen
who asks no odds of anyone when
u tuiucfi iu iiuiimh^ u iiuiip.
The task to be discharged by the
federal hoard for vocational education
U a large one. Figures from the var
ious countries show that for each
million men In the armies, there "ill
be one per cent, or ten thousand men
to lie re-educated. This does not in
elude the wounded who are able to
and eventually do return to their oc
I cupatlons.
| This does not necessarily mean that
! these are "dismemberment" cases
j The general idea is of legless, arm
i less, or sightless men. They are fat
in the minority. The figures, which
: have now got down to fairly accurate
{ i averages, show that of the 10,000 hull
1 i of them will be purely "medical" as
| against "surgical" eases And of the
j e.OOOeases that are "surgical," that is,
! which need the attention of a aur
Igeon as against that of a physician
500 will be cases of dismemberment
, where the men have lost members ol
| the body Three hundred will be
! cases w lipre a leg has been lost and
1 two hundred where arms have been
l lost lu 41,000 returned invalided t'u
i nudiau there were less than forty
eases ol blindness.
The real problem Is tile mall whu
has suffered profound shocks to his
, system ami perhaps rendered incapa
ble of standing the strain ot his for
mer occupation. A boiler-maker, for
instum e, conies Out with shell-shock
and his nervous system in tatters
He could not stand the racket in a
. boiler factory, but he, with his knowl
edge ot non and steel working could
very easily bo made into, say—an a
pert lathe operator where there Is no
I noise. And so on along the whole
■ line of readjustments.
The federal board for vocational
education is the source of most of the
war training courses and is going
ahead with plans to begin the re-edu
cation work at an early date. It is
proposed, instead of concentrating the
men to be re-educated in large hoi
pital shops, to use the wonderful fa
cilities afforded by the many tech
nlcal and agricultural achoola Of the
country as far aa possible.
