DISABLED SOLDIERS
REHTTED FOR DUTY
Work of American Reconstruction
Hospital Division Proves
Highly Successful.

The success attained by the recon
~struction division in fitting disabled
soldiers for full or partial duty is indi-
Gated in detailed reports from I'VE
general hospitals, made public by the
surgeon general Of the army.
OF the 537 cases sent to these hos
pitfalls from overseas and base hospit-
ais in this country, ISL are now able
to return to full duty and 212 are able
10 return for partial duty. Only 80 Of
these soldiers will be unable to fol-
low their old occupation. A total Of
10 win be able to return to their old
employment and do efficient work de-
spite their injuries.
"From the time these men landed in
the United States, an effort has been
made to keep their minds and hands
occupied" says the war department
statement. Curative education has
been practiced with satisfactory re
suits. The men have shown interest
in the "ward occupations which con-
sist of wood carving. knitting. weav-
ing. block printing, bead work, knotted
work, embroidery. educational work
and typewriting. Where facilities have
been provided to give the men academ-
ic studies a genuine interest has been
shown to improve their mental condi-
ton so as better to prepare them to
make progress in civil occupations.
After the men reach the point where
they could leave the wards they were
instructed in shops and schools. Quar-
termaster repair shops are located
near some of the hospitals. and these
are used to give instruction to the men
in mechanical occupations. At the
present time 132 soldiers are taking
courses In automobile mechanics and
repair work. Shorthand and typewrit-
ing have attracted the attention Of Isl.
