EDUCATIONAL SERVICE IN U.
S. GENERAL HOSPITALS AS
CONDUCTED BY SURGEON
GENERALS OFFICE
Address by President A. G. Crane,
Minot, North Dakota, Sept. Is.

In brief address Sunday evening,
President Crane described the work
now being done by the Surgeon Gen
erals office in the educational rehabll-
itation of wounded soldiers. His de-
scription dealt exclusively with what
has already been accomplished in our
general hospitals. The introduction
of schools in military hospital is
new. 1t is founded upon some great!
tho simple principles. First OF all
some happy occupation diverts mems
minds from moody introspection and
relieves the monotony Of the conval-
escent period. This hastens physical
recovery. The school can furnish such
occupation in unlimited quantities
and in great variety for large num-
bers of men. Educational activity can
moreover be made Of practical value
In addition to fastening physical re,
covery. it gives valuable Improvement
for what otherwise would be wasted
time.
The school work helps the patients
to avoid the great danger of hospital
ization." This is polite term for
chronic loafing. Active employment
prevents Encouragement, carries ca ca
ucational value, puts hope into the
hearts of men and gives them that
greatest force-the will to try: W!tf
hone aroused, with determination KIN,
died. with help provided, each and al
NAV achieve self-support and e11c'
iency. :, -,
Occupation chosen primarily for its
curative value is not, however, merel!
diversional only. These otherwise
wasted weeks of convalescence are
employed in intensive study IN sho[
and school. Such study will do mucE
towards improving the craftsmansmE ~

Derivation Of MGermanY.n

German" and Germany" come from
the Latin Germanicus and Germania,
which were the Roman names for the
Germans and their country. The words
are supposed to be from a Celtic root
which some say meant "shouters" and
others say meant "neighbors" The
Germans call themselves "Deutsch,"
which Is from the same root as
dutch" and "TeutOn." The root
meant "of the people" or belonging to
the people," and may have been the re-
suit Of an effort to put into barbarian
tongue the Greek word ethnikos, mean
ing the same thing, "of the people" or
racial" The relation between
"Deutsch" and "Teuton" is more easily
seen when we consider that "Deutsch"
used to be spelled "Teutsch."
