 Another thing that impresses the reader of the committees report is the thorough medical examinations.

 The committee ~endeavors by it's vis- iting nurses to keep track of the pa tient's entire family, and has found in 8 number of cases that other mem bers than the one under treatment need special care.

"THE YEARNERS"

Of the making of new faiths, cults and sects there is no end, but the last half century has probably been more prolific in this regard than any other similar period in the worlds history. One of the most remarkable develop ments of this period of religious 'un- rest and upheaval is that movement known by the general name of New Thought" although it embraces a wide variety of diverse cults and tinlism and good cheer to the most elaborate systems of occult and esot- eric mysteries
 The New Thought is in reality preadanite, for the leaders and prophets of the innumerable' schools greatest inspiration in the obscure lore of the seers and mystics of the somnolent East. Where and with whom the modern American move ment began it is difficult to say, many New Thoughters'' honor Prentice their movement.

 The work in this factory is grad uated both in difficulty and in time. Some patients who at grst could work only an hour or two, are now doing practically full-time. They work in ideal conditions, and under continued supervision. The usual accessories of welfare work are present, such as lunch room, rest room, nurse service. etc. As to wages, the factory is con- ducted on a business basis. None of the patients are paid more than they earn, and not less than the union scale of wages. l Admission to the factory is strictly limited by the doctors orders.
