fear OF inconsistency or a dread of an
appearance of insincerity, lest at some
point the deed may not match the pro-
fession of belief.
But is not all society passing
through a somewhat awkward stage OF
consciousness of self, of unwilingness
to reveal ones inmost feelings of hesi-
fancy to express any intimate religious
thought? There is much reason to be-
lieve that the college undergraduate is
as prayerful as he has ever been, but
his praying is done in private and his
religious faith is ordinarily acknowl-
edged to himself alone. Not standing
in the synagogues and in the corners

myself less and less inclined to en-
gage in any discussion Of the religious

ple, the college community merits a
fun share of blame. IL is not sending
out into the world men whose hearts
are set on changing this condition. II
Ia sending out men who take pride in
their freedom from sentiment OF every
kind, men who would far sooner con-
ceai their religious feelings than give
vocal expression TO them. How the
undergraduate may come into intimate
acquaintance with his Maker seems to
occupy little of his thought. and TO
show other men how they may do SO,
still less. He is likely to be prayerful
but he is not likely to be a leader in
public prayer or an open advocate of
private communion with God. II re-

Cleanup Campaign.
Supplementing the general cleanup
campaign which was recently condueted
by the Veterans Bureau a hospital
cleanup campaign has been inaugurated.
During the general cleanup campaign
more than $4,000 veterans were inter-
viewed and more than 100000 claims
handled. In the hospital cleanup cam
paign, now in progress, a cleanup squad
will visit the veterans at their bedsides
and make the necessary adjudication or
their claims These squads are visiting
all institutions where beneficiaries of
the Veterans Bureau are hospitalized.
Many disabled ex-service men who
have been hospitalized as emergency
cases have not made application FOR
compensation. This class OF cases will
be assisted in preparing the necessary
evidence for their claims by these
squads. Should a claimant of the bu-
reau in any one OF these hospitals not
have received rating or an award
such cases also viii be taken care OF.
According to the provisions OF the
Sweet bill the compensation cases OF
the Veterans Bureau In the central Of
flee We're to be forwarded to the four
teen regional offices OF the bureau. This
work of decentralizing these cases is
being carried out as rapidly as Is con-
sistent with good administration. To
date more than 100000 compensation
cases have been assigned from the CEN
trail office to the fourteen district Of
fices.
1t has been necessary to carry on the
work OF decentralization without inter-
fering or impeding the speedy adjudica-
ton Of compensation claims and without
disturbing the procedure of the central
office. Great care has to be exercised
In order that these case folders are not
misplaced or forwarded to the wrong
destination. The decentralization of
these cases will facilitate the settlement

To Quit Farming Out
Men to Private Hospitals

- HE system of farming out ex-
service men to private hos
pitals under contracts will
be discontinued just as soon as it
can be accomplished, Col. Forbes
said Within a few months every
ex-service man receiving medical
attention at the hands OF the Gov
ernment will be transferred to
Government hospital.
In the Government hospitals the
best medical attention that can be
obtained in the United States is
being made available for the care
of ex-service men. Physicians who
are recognized as leaders In their
line of special practice i'm every
section of the country are cooper
atine with the Veterans Bureau
without payment 10 insure that
wounded soldiers shall receive
treatment which is up to the high
est known standard. Physicians
are forming national and local COM
mittees to cooperate with the bu-
reau.
The New York herald., 1922-03-26

The Veterans Bureau will discon-
tinue use OF contract hospitals as soon as
Government hospital facilities are made
available. This is in line with the plans
Of the bureau to have all its patients in
hospitals owned, operated and supervised
by the Government. A training center
will be established for the instruction OF
personnel engaged in neuropsychatrc
work. This personnel includes physi-
clans, nurses, reconstruction agents and
psychiatrists. Their training will be in
tensive in character and win consist OF
actual ward work as well as laboratory
work and lectures
This training center will be estab-
lished at ST. Elizabeth's Hospital, Wash
ington. D. c., Immediately in order that
this training personnel will be available

chatric hospitals are constructed. Spe-
cial training centers are being operated

permitted to regard it a loan, else his
pride would be wounded and his own
self-consciousness offended. The aver
age member of the college community
is wholly unaware that such deeds Of
mercy are being done in the college.
None Of these donors would allow
himself ever to speak publicly, or often
privately, of his belief in the excel
lence OF such conduct. Like his re-
ligion, his mercy must not be pro-
claimed. But possibly in his heart of
hearts he gladly recalls that 'inas-
much as you have done 1t unto one Of
the least of these my brethren, ye
have done It unto me-
Willing to Help the Weak.
1t is not alone in matters of money
that sincere regard for ones fellows
is shown in college. If a young stu
dent is indulging in conduct very in
furious to himself the disciplinary Of
ficer will find the older college friends
Of the youth willing and eager to
spend time and patience lavishly in
saving their friend. 1t has happened
many times that some senior, often
the head of his fraternity chapter, has
brought the sins of freshman or
sophomore to the attention of the col
lege officer with the words: "He in
sists on going wrong in spite of all
that we can say or do. He is a good
boy at heart and well worth saving.
We think you can control him. and
will appreciate 1t very much if you
will take him in hand and try Such
senior would shrink from an ac-
acknowledgement that he is his brothers
keeper, but how beautifully he lives
the part!
Thus the colleges are developing to-
day more fully than ever before quail
ties of idealism, of honor and truth
fulness and of mercy, and these quail
ties must work great benefits in tho
life of the nation. The idealsm
showed itself conspicuously in the days
of war. The honor and truthfulness
viii go far toward the publication OF
financial and political life. The atti-
tude Of mercy will bless all whom 1t
touches; 1t abounds in every social
settlement and will bear its most beau
tiful fruit in the troublesome field Of
industrial activity.

Owing 10 the efforts OF the bureau
during the last few months enough beds
have been provided TO care for all known
general and surgical cases in Govern
ment hospitals. according 10 the bureau
records. Very many more beds in Gov
ernment hospitals are needed, however.
TO insure the standard OF care desired
for men suffering from tuberculosis and
mental diseases Col Forbes said.
A survey of the situation made re-
Gently by a committee OF specialists in
mental disorders disclosed that the Vet
erans' Bureau soon will be called on to
supply beds i'm Government hospitals FOR
between 5000 and 1000 insane patients
and a large number Of tubercular cases
Plans to provide these beds now are
under way and will be put into effect
as soon as Congress appTopriates the
money.
A number OF special problems have
arisen in connection with the relief aud
care of disabled veterans which were
rot foreseen when the Governments
program was inaugurated shortly after
the armistice. In many cases the esti-
mates on which the committees based
their legislative acts and appropriations
were unfortunately insufficient and in
correct.
Problems Coald Not BE Foreseen.
Many OF these problems could not
be foreseen during the war or immedi-
ately after its close. For instance, the
estimated number OF blind cases was
out OF all proportion to the actual num-
Der of those cases now under the care
Of the Veterans Bureau. Elaborate pro-
visions and plans were made for the
care and treatment of blind soldiers,
probably because this class of cases
made special appeal to the public,
due to the character of their disability.
However, at the time of the armistice
there were only two hundred blind SOL
diers, which was considerably less than
could have been expected from the
statistics shown by previous wars.
In other classes of cases which drew
the special attention of the legislators
and those interested in soldiers relief
legislations were the amputation cases.
1t was expected that there would be
large number OF soldiers with am
putated arms and legs. However. less
than per cent. OF the disabled veterans
are suffering from emputations.

There are more than 10000 disabled
veterans receiving vocational training
under the Veterans Bureau. This train
ing Is being provided I'm colleges, trade
schools, business establishments and in
shops. In the past a great deal OF din
Guilty has been experienced in maintains
ing adequate supervision over those vet
Grams who have been in training ION the
job" and also in many instances in some
&c the smaller schools. This difficulty
has ben eliminated by requiring training
officers to maintain close supervision
over all vocational students under their
control.
Prevention or Ilfness.
The establishment OF the first Vet
erans' Bureau Vocational School at Chill
licothe, Ohio. has inaugurated a new
feature in connection with the training
of disabled veterans. At this school an
adequate nursing and medical star IL
maintained in order to prevent illness,
which often interferes with the reha bil,-
tation Of the disabled veterans. This
school being owned and operated by the
Government. proper supervision Is less
difficult than where the students arc
scattered among large number OF
small schools and shops.
According to the plans OF the Reha-
bilitation division, persons who are as
signed to vocational training have a
tryout in the course which is selected to
determine whether they are qualified for
that particular occupation. This IL done
in order to eliminate the continual
changing from trade TO trade and from
occupation to occupation, which has been
one OF the big difficulties in the past. In
some Instances students had spent a

occasion. No spectator ever appears

prevails. The service over, the class
fingers before the chapel door until
the final farewells are said. Then
slowly they depart to take up the
work of tie years for which they have
waited and studied so long. That
brief and formal daily religious SER
vice in the chapel seems in four years
10 have come to be the most precious
and most sacred feature of the college
course, and II is with its spirit enfold
ing them that they choose to go out
into TIE world.
Few Take ReIieious Courses.
It is true that the courses in re-
ligious subjects in the average college
get few attendants and that the study
of the Bible occupies far smaller
place in the modern curriculum than
its literary and historical qualities
alone entitle II TO hold An Instructor
whose theology is supposed to be un-
sound may teach larger classes IN
theism than one admittedly orthodox,
but the professor of abnormal psy-
either. Perhaps the psychologist
makes stronger appeal to the under
graduates AtLenian love OF novelty
or perhaps the youth OF to-day is a
bit too seif-conscious TO allow IL to be
known that he Is studying the theistic
argument. May It not be true that an
interest in theism is too intimate and
too personal to be shared with any
one. even with college teacher?
Those weekly prayer meetings which
used TO be held by the entire college
together and by every class separately
and the daily periods Of prayer which
many a smaller group used to hold
thirty years ago-all these are un-
known to-day. Even the weekly meet
ing of the v. M. c. A. has come tc
be an occasion for an address by a
visiting preacher; and If no clergyman
lis available some professor must take
the meeting to help them out" Like
most OF his teachers. the undergradu-
ate shrinks from any recital Of re-
ligious experience. The cloak Of piety
which covered many n just and now
and again an unjust man in other
days. Is garment of adherence
among college youths. Hardly ever
