When the army general hospital
was established here and disabled
men began to dribble back from
France, arrangements were made with
the quartermaster corps to permit the
use of the shops for training disabled
men.
More than 500 patients have taken
curative courses of some kind--60 Of
them taking only light bedside or
ward work; the rest going into class
es that range all the way from news

put them back into useful, self-sus-

objects of this are two.

useful work.
Instead Of encouraging men to say,
"I've done my bit; the country owes
me something" the man is encour-
aged to say, IT enlisted to serve my
country and the sooner I get we'll
and get back into service the better"
The second object is to help with
the actual cure Of patient. The ward
surgeons recommend light bedside

sit up in bed. AS soon as he Is able
to be out, he is encouraged tonenter
