any one thing that is being done by
men who are about recovered and who
do not need to learn a trade, to be-
come very ambitious.
In this shop, where only the conva-
lescent come, the aide doesn't find so
much to do to keep the men contented.
Away from her ward in this broader
atmosphere they are more patient
about home difficulties and willing to
face the responsibility Of managing the
home farm for parent more disabled
than the son, not only with good cheer,
but with real forethought-one man
stating that his responsibility was SO
great that he really couldn't afford the
time to get lined up in dairying.
Across in second corridor the men
are sick. The aide says: "Oh, so sick.
with such awful wounds to be dressed"
Therefore, she sees that each man gets
in touch with the Red Cross, or repre-
sentative of the war risk insurance,
or whatever will satisfy him. Petty
troubles bother. He can hardly pass
by any Inconvenience Of hospital serv-
ice with smile-though the smile is
the usual response. One of the things
the reconstruction aide has stood for
| that has made her organization strong
and perhaps done more than anything
else to win for her the deep respect
of the patients, is the policy Of her or
| ov,ty 20 &c
the idea being to avoid treating a man
in piecemeal fashion. So through q
"want card" she checks Off the mans
needs and sends this along to whatever
organization-Red Cross, Y. II. C. A..
library-whose business ia to look
after these. These may be an auto
ride or a visitor, or candy, or smokes.
1t has taken so much effort to give
this balanced service and to be the
connecting link between the mans
army and civilian life, to always be
on the hopeful side. that she has won
the confidence of the men-just as If
she. too, had gone over the top in serv-
ice. Uncle Sam didn't tell her to do
this, but in this large hospital she has
done it, and it has made reconstruc-
ton one of the biggest influences in
war work.
The reader will hardly realize what
it means for these men to take this
initiative until he remembers that for
months, ever since they left home, they
have been asked to let go of all their
own plans, to forget ambition, to let
Others think personally for them, and
to submit to the will Of others. These
soldiers were not just to play at letting
go. They had really let go. otherwise
they could not look constantly toward
one idea-that of the reason for the
war; and the way to win It, So when
it's over, it's like bringing ones self
back to life again. No wonder there
is drama in this work.
This reconstruction program is be.
ing carried out by trained workers from
among the people. 1t remains for the
home communities to continue the
work as the discharged men return
The first step is understanding the
men. 1t is what they crave most. Or
this account the influence Of recon
struction in the military hospitals
should be known by the public.

other occasion like the recent war.
Let the reader picture this story as
it is taking place in the largest of the
reconstruction hospitals. Starting in
the Office and lecture room of the arts
and crafts workers-women dressed in
blue uniforms with snappy white
aprons and caps--One feels an expan-
sive atmosphere. It's like big busl-
ness office and store combined.
One of these workers, as she takes
you down long corridor No. 1, to the
wards and workshops, assures you
that the making of the article is the
least part Of their work, and that al
though strong organization has been
built by the members of her group
connecting up with all the large clubs
and organizations outside the hos
pital that can help out and bring OPP
| portunities to the men. still this is all
kept in the background while the work
er-the aide or bluebird, as the men
call her-gets in close touch with the
patients and keeps herself as much like
a home person as possible. She will
be a bit excited while telling you this,
because she knows how hard it is in
the army to keep these workers under
the necessary regulations and routine
and at the same time make them fec.
free and forceful enough to help a pa.
tient find contentment and vocational
interest. She knows that she can't
explain this, and so gets stirred up a
bit, and then Gains herself. and is
ready to enter the large workshops and
point out to you what is really happen.
