If the nurse can use a system Of ex- ercise which will offset the strain of her work and learn the conservation of her strength by knowing how to lift. stand, etc., with the least expense of energy, she will reduce the drain on her energies. If she understands exercises. passive movements given a patient who Is irritable, a few move ments of toes and feet without chang ing the position, will relieve the strain of lying still and exercise a salutary influence upon the patients and nurses disposition.

EXERCISES FOR CRIPPLES
Special Work for the Defomed Nurses Can Give Patients in Bed Passive Exercise-Physical Gull
 turist Valuable Aid to Physician
By HENRY STEIGNER Peoples University Extension Society, New York

An old-time pilot on the Mississippi, when new company organized boat line, was examined for the position. Appropriate questions about the ob- structions were asked and he replied: '.No, don't know where they are" "Then how do you expect to pilot a boat?" The pilot replied: T know where they ain't."
 This story gives the key to the work of the Peoples University Extension society in New York city in corrective exercises for crippled children. Fortu- nately deformity does not extend to all parts of the body. The normal parts can be given their ordinary training. A healthy child gets exercise in school at play, in running errands and the performance of daily tasks. The cripple Is excluded from at least some of these and his deformity which prevents the use of part of the body, increases the work of the healthy limbs. If child wears a brace for the right leg which hampers the ankle, knee or hip, the left leg has the bur den of movement and carries the weight for both. It cannot do all this unaided. The spine bears the balance of the burden and the additional strain affects not only the bones and muscles
 
 sight, difficulty in study or a tendency to mischief are the result.
 would give exercises in balancing to distribute the weight. The left leg because 1t does added duty should re- ceive special exercises for easier con- trol of It's toes. ankle, knee and hip, for the relaxation of over-strained muscles and for better circulation. The entire system benefits from corrected respiration and the improvement in the blood is a healing agency which can be directed to the right leg that has been left unnoticed but for the pro- lection of its brace. This has been applied either for support or to pro- tect the joint. This the brace does at the expense of the development oi the leg.
 The physician prescribes brace be- cause 1t is indispensable, but the at- rophy of the parts protected can be avoided. The patient can be so placed that the strain which the brace off, sets is avoided. For instance, if the brace is to prevent pressure on the hip joint, the patient by lying on his back on a mat, with the brace removed, can

 One of the most insidious forms of temptation which directors of business offer to subordinates is the demand for results" A traffic agent is sometimes told that "other railways are getting the business" and that something must be done" You have carte blanche: what we want Is results" Sometimes there Is a wink in the employers eye, but, in any case, the agent feels that. in the opinion of his superiors the end will justify the means, and there will be

take movement for the toes ankles,
 knee and various movements of the torso, to increase circulation of the
 right side while keeping the hip joint still. If the knee should be kept stiff
 movements of the leg with a straight
 knee and for the foot counteract the
 atrophy which the brace infiicts. In this way exercises become "cor-
 rective." The method is in reality pre- ventive." My experience in teaching in many institutions for cripples leads
 me to consider the deformity of itself
 less and less, and to work for its cor
 rection throughout the body generally. II I am to correct a curvature of the spine just by work with the spine I
 am treating the effect" By re-estab- fishing the proper action of tho toes. lost through our hard. un-anatomic
 footwear, by correcting posture. faults
 in sitting. standing, etc., the improve
 ment of the curvature largely takes care of itself as the causes" disappear
 This is where the point of the story "comes in." The physician like the technically wise mariner must know just where the difficulties lie. The phy- sical culturist does not emphasize the deformity, but sees the perfect or whole body The flat-foot Is the diag- nosis which the physician sends with | the patient The exercises prescribed are not for fat-foot but for a nor
 mally arched foot which they must de- velop.
 | In classes connected with ortho-
 pedic departments of hospitals the pur- pose should be to make the work aux
 Hilary to the physicians in charge. It
 is impossible for them to more than
 recommend exercises for the patients.
 The teacher prepares as 1t were the prescription. Patients discharged by the | physician need guidance to guard against relapse into faults wh ich
 would destroy the cure. In this way some urgent needs in dispensary work
 are met. With the approval of the Peoples University Extension society | that sends me to these classes a record
 is kept of the cases by using a blank for general measurements with space
 for special directions or observations The patient Is measured by the physi- | clan when entering the class and send | him to be measured once a month. In l this way the physician can watch and direct the case, while the pupil Is en- | couraged by good results or admonis ed | for lack of effort as the record may | show
 There are special classes for the cor rectton Of speech deIects, an open all
