teach him how to acquire better skill
and more understanding of his occu-
patton sufficient to enable him to COM
pensate for his loss. Trained brains
can more than overcome the handicap
of crippled fingers, loss of limb or
even impaired physique. The Surgeon
Generals office and all it's instructors
are active in appointing the men to the
offers of the Government made thru
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton. A disabled soldier who is en-
titled to compensation under the rules
of the Bureau of War Risk is entitled
to any vocational education which he
may choose with free tuition and con-
tinuance of service and allotment. If
the educational service in the hospital
is able to put hope in place of de-
spair, awaken in the man the will to
work, point the way to overcome han
dicap, it will have proven worthwhile.
Michael Bowling of Minnesota, a
crippled man without feet or hands,
except one thumb, has made good and
says, "Handicaps and disabilities there
are, but whenever the. mind is func-
tioning there can be no cripple. Halt
Of the cure for the disabilities of our
boys who are coming back from the

spirit will always win over any handi-
cap. Take my advice and do not cod
die those unfortunate boys too much.
Do not baby them. Make them do
everything they can do for themselves.
It is far better for them and it is the
truest Kindness"
Internationally the experiment is in
tensely interesting and fraught with
possibilities for public education. Con-
trary to usual school procedure there
are no entrance examinations, no uni
form, prescribed courses of study, no
definite graduation point. Instead each
man is studied individually as to his
disability, his probable recovery, the
length of time available, the study of
his social, educational and vocational
history. With these facts in mind he
is advised to undertake some line of
activity. Such principles of proceed
ure would not be out of place in pub
lie education If public schools are to
be agencies for the service of the citi-
zenship of community, they should
be ready to teach to anyone for any
length Of time anything worth while.
1t is probable that many who now find
the conventional school curriculum
unsuited to their particular abilities
and resources might then find the
schools more serviceable. 1t is true it
would require for these students more
flexible programs, grading systems,
changes in entrance requirements and

the length of study in civil and public

that 100000 men will have received

Many men in the army hospitals
are of foreign parentage. Studies in
American history and government as
well as English reading and writing
have been instituted for these men.
Upon the completion Of such courses
they pass the examinations of the
United States naturalization office
and become legal American citizens.
AS an Americanization agency the
educational service in hospitals has
been effective.
The section of physical therapy with
its trained workers loosen up stiff
joints, restores shrunken muscles,
strengthen palsied nerves, develop
weak hearts and in general bring the
mans disability to a point where he
may engage in some form of interest
ing activity. Doing something inter-
esting is much easier, less trying and
more helpful than mere gymnastic ex-
ercises. Preceding and accompany
ing all this educational treatment is
the constant care and attention of the
medical officers. All work is done as
a part of the prescribed treatment.
The amputated limb receives the at
tention of the surgeon, possibly some
secondary operation, followed by the
massage treatment of the physical
therapy section and finally the treat
ment of the educational department in
the use of the limb, and in manipulat-
ing the new artificial hand or foot.
Typewriting, woodworking, agricul-
ture are helpful in restoring func-
tions.
Up to February 28th, 10000 soldiers
had enrolled in educational work of
some kind. Starting at the bedside
and the ward, the work is continued
for the ambulatory patients out into
the shops, field, laboratories and class
rooms. instruction has been given in
$50 occupations. Following are the
most popular: Wood work. agricul-
tural work, automobile mechanics.

the month Of February alone there
were enrolled in General Courses S.

commercial branches 1926, and in ag-
ricultural lines 1927. These figures
are exclusive Oh Cne lU,UUU men en-

Fully 10000 men in AZ reconstruction
hospitals were receiving the benefits
of curative educational activities dur

Though the aim of the service is to
be as definitely and specifically crua-
tive as possible, though it works to re-
store the stiffened joint and shrunken
muscle or the general physical health
Of the patient, yet it has some mental
effects that are even more important
and far-reaching. Trivial, devotional,
bedside work becomes more and more
purposeful until during the last few
days or weeks the soldier student may
be securing real vocational education.
This gradual change in the purposeful-
ness of the activity has phychologi-
cal effect that is most valuable. It
leads the man out into hopeful real

learns that he can overcome physical
handicaps. He is introduced to meth

functional restoration, mental and

this result the use of work, mental and

address by A. G. Crane, President
State Normal School, Before N. w.
E. A., at Minot, April 1917

President Crane, who is director Of
the Educational Section in the Division
of Physical Reconstruction in the Sur
geon Generals office, gave brief ac-
count of the work Of physical recon-
struction in army hospitals. He show
ed some of the articles fabricated by
soldiers in the curative work shop ac-
tivities. He stated that at the time of
Americas entrance in the war the Sur
geon General had Immediately laid
plans for the care of the wounded and
weak soldiers. Included in the usual
medical and surgical service work is
the new field Of curative work. This
work is conferred in a division in the
Surgeon Generals office directed by
Frank Billings, Col, M. c., the famous
Chicago physician. It was necessary
to provide hospitals, medical staff,
nursing corps and for the new organ
ization, an additional staff of instruct
ors, plans Of work, materials and
equipment had to be secured The
success of the new venture in hospital
practice and in educational procedure
is due to the foresight, industry and
good judgment of Col. Billings. It is
pleasant to note that the value of his
services have been widely recognized.
The division of physical reconstruc-
ton is divided into three general sec
tons, one dealing with the work in
convalescent centers where men are
held for few days Immediately pre-
cedlng their discharge, the section of
physic therapeutics which gives mas
sage, electro, hydro therapy and me-
chano treatments and the educational
section, of which Major Crane has re-
Gently been appointed director.
The Surgeon General defined the
main purpose of physical reconstruc-
ton to be "the completest form of
medical and surgical treatment car

New Law Obliges Attendance of Ger.
tain Children

Next Monday evening, Oct. 20, the
evening schools of Putnam will be
opened in in the High school building.
They will be in session from Ills until
9f5, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday each week during the winter.
The law requires that the Ameri-
canization department be kept at least
seventy-five nights, and the children's
department at least sixty-four nights.
The state allowance of school money
to the town is based on the average
attendance. 1t is therefore highly i'm
portant that the attendance be as reg
ular as possible.
The commercial department which
has been conducted in years past has
this year been discontinued on ac-
count of the irregularity of attend
ance.
The Americanization department
will be continued as heretofore. This
department is a splendid opportunity
for those who cannot read and write
English to make beginning. 1t also
seeks to give special training in eiti-
zenship, thus being of great help to
those who are looking forward to be-
coming voters.
The children's department is new
feature made necessary by the law
passed at the last session of the leg
islature. According to this law chill
dren between the ages of fourteen
and sixteen years who do not attend
day school and who have not passed
through all the grades of the common
school are required to attend evening
school The state agent estimates
that one hundred or more children In
Putnam will be affected by this act
Employers have already been sent
lists of children who must attend the
evening sessions. Such employers vii
from time to time receive reports a.

to send their children regularly a.
they do TO the day schools.
AS this compulsory department
promises to form a large part of th'
evening school several teachers hay'
been engaged.
