since become misnomer. 1t was first
applied to this particular branch of
surgery by the great French scientist
Andry. It comes from the Greek
words orthos, straight; and pals, a
child. 1t was intended to describe a
science that made for physically
straight children. But It's development
has made It applicable to all ages. and
It's value was never more clearly

lieve IL. Half the work we ortho-
pedists do is TO try TO make good
job out OF something that should never
have happened, IL I may put 1t that
way.
Orthopedlc surgery is the art OF pre-
venting and correcting deformities and
OF the treatment and alleviation of de-
formities resulting from disease. Thus,
for instance, tuberculosis OF the spine
is evidenced frequently by the hump
on a mans back The hump is not
the disease, but the result of the dis
ease, and is caused by the breaking
down of bones that, functioning prop
erly, would give that man a straight
back.
The future OF orthopedic surgery

brief resume of what the science did
for the injured soldier during and since
the war. have mentioned Sir Rob-
ert Jones. When the war broke out
in August, 1914. DR.. Jones was prac-
ticing orthopedist OF Liverpool. He
had been to this country several times,
had read papers and lectured. We
knew him. admired his ability; in
short, we liked him. But outside the
profession and his home city OF Liver
pool he was, j should say, not broadly
known.
He Joined the British Army Medical
Corps as an orthopedist and, I think,
a Captain, In the spring of 1915 when
British hospitals were fun and re-
placements and recruiting were occu-
pying the attention of British official
dom, some one in the office of the Di-
rector OF Pensions discovered that a
very large percentage of wounded
were being marked eft for duty" and
that a majority OF the records OF these
cases showed they had been under
treatment by Capt. Jones.
Who Was Capt. Jones?
A Scientist or . Sorcerer?
"who. Is this Capt. Jones? And by
what process Of science or legerdemein
does he get these results?" Capt
Jones was sought out. He was ques-
toned. His theories seemed sound
his arguments and deductions sane,
He was put in charge of the orthope-
die service Of the Army Medical Corps
and when the war ended had the rank
Of Major General.
DR.. Jones was thoroughly aware
that obe OF the chief things necessary

"Since that time my husband has
placed trap door over the mouth OF
the well, but little son Norman seems
to keep shy of the vicinity, SO perhaps

the many letters Of a congratulatory
nature which Mrs. Girling has re-
ceived Is the following from the Rev.
c. III. Parkhurst OF New York:
Dear Mrs. Girling: Like thousands
OF others, have read with deep inter-
est and admiration your act Of hero
ism. Perhaps can appreciate better
than some what 1t ell meant, for at
the house In the country where / was
born and brought up there was a well
of great depth, which / have seen
my father descend, when the water
had nearly disappeared in summer on
account OF dry weather, in order to
clean out the bottom of the well, and
I remember how he had to wedge his
feet between the stones with which
the well was walled up. The differ
ence between the two cases-and this
is what made your exploit so wonder
ful--is that he had a rope to steady
himself with, and you did not. That is
the marvel. None but mother, and
a wonderfully heroic mother, would
have ventured where you ventured, OF
accomplished what you ventured and
accomplished. Yours with great ad-
miration. G. H. PARKHURsT.

Hungary's Greatly Reduced Births

in Hungary the infant mortality
rate was Immediately raised 33 per

765,0O0 children in 1918 to 32S,000 in
1918, a reduction OF almost so per cent.
Austria shows like conditions. In 1912
there was an excess Of 43.567 births;
in 1918 there was an excess of 6S,30S

Republic was reduced 40 per cent. be-
tween 1912 and 1918; the infant NOR

When America Went in
Orthopedic Service was Established
So with the foresight that marked
his earlier career DIR. Jones decided to
develop the orthopedic branch Of the
medical service. He wrote to us here
to the American Orthopedic Society
and asked us IL we could not send him
some orthopedists. We called meet
ings and talked the subject over to
the end that during 1915 we sent
about twenty specially trained ortho-
pedists to England and the front to
work under DR.. Jones's supervision.

On the side of child nutrition, the

pairing the child mortality Of various
countries during the war 1t is well to
remember that in pre-war lists Hun
gary, Austria and Germany stand high
in infant mortality rates. and England
and Wales stand low.
All Participating Countries
Suffered Collapse of Birth Rate
The war represented an immediate
collapse in the birth rate for all par
ticipating countries. Though there
was some talk about increasing the
birth rate by the relaxation of conven-
tions this came to nothing. While the
increase of the birth rate during the
war lay outside of mans legislative
powers, it was on the other hand pos
sible to reduce the child mortality rate
and thus to start an upward trend in
population. replenishment. Speaking
of Europe as a whole, the year 1919
saw a radical balancing of the scales
in favor of birth rate and against the
high infant and general mortality.
This included countries in which, on
account of local food conditions. the
mortality had been very high, such as
Austria, Hungary and Poland, as well
as the better situated allied countries.

replenishment Certain countries and
certain social groups have to be iso-

before the war and here, as elsewhere,
the war only gave force to tendencies
that were already in operation.
In at least three directions the war
served to release the hand Of the
human parent upon tie child and to
substitute for the older, more indi-
vidual controls the generalized con-
trolls OF the State drawn from broad
principles of expediency and policy
and exercising themselves through
new institutions.
The number of orphans made by
the great war in Europe has been
variously estimated. Ten million
would not be far wrong. This number
of children could not be released upon
tie new States of Europe without in
volving vast changes in social ma
chinery, in education. and even in the
character of the parental tie. The
obligation that the State owes to the
child who has lost both parents ex-
tends also to TIE child who has lost
one parent. From this it is but a step
in the minds of impoverished peoples
to the theory that the responsibility
for the raising Of their children lies
not upon themselves but upon the
State. This latter feeling las found
expression in all the countries of GEN.

OF children by their parents and the
creation Of new orphan class. In
other words. the individual parent has
abdicated in behalf of the social
parent.
