place in society for which he is best suited and where he can make his best contribution to the general welfare. Tuberculosis is longtime illness, hence why shouldn't rehabilitation begin dur ing the days of ccring and thus cut down on the time after dis charge otherwise necessary to pre- pare for a job? Occupation helps to reduce Encouragement, rest leSsness caused by inactivity, and worry about the future. Reha- bilitation programs are aimed to give the patient new food for thought, encouragement and as many activities to fill free hours as are advised by the physician. The many phases of a typical pro- ject involve the coordinated &C., ton of number of agents.
 The National Tuberculosis As sociaton has been sponsoring for several years now a many sided rehabilitation program. The di- rectors of the National Adult Ed ucation and Mental Hygiene or ganizations thoroughly agree with the tuberculosis association in em phaszing the necessity of giving the patient mental as well as phy S c treatment. Educational classes are of primary importance in training patients for the new job. While new hope based on a better outlook for the future, makes for peace of mind by giv- ing the patient constructive work which he can capitalize on later.
 a better mental adjustment can be achieved. Senatorium routine sees to it that there is plenty of physical rest but such rest is ire quently not enough. Mental rest plays role in recovery which cannot be ignored. '.
 AS an essential first step in re- mobilization, Donald Paterson, psy- chology professor of the Univer- sity of Minnesota, has pointed out the necessity for individual diag- nosis. This covers vocational guidance based on information as to the family, vocational, educa- tional, and avocational backgro-

SALVAGING LIVES
{ By ROslyn Herz, Acting Reha- bilitatiOn Director, National Tub erculOSis AssOciatiOn).

Getting a man back on his feet after a long siege of illness such as tuberculosis is no mean task nor is it a one-man job. The re- sponsibility cannot be tackled singlehanded by the physician, by the social worker,by the commun 1ty welfare society or by any one of the other agencies with whom the patient comes in contact. All too often there is the feeling that of course the patient needs super vision and care while he is sick but when it comes to readjust- nent to economic and family life upon recovery from his long ill., ness, he should work out his own salvation.
 The majority of sanatorium pa- tients are young, with limited ed ucation. The greatest number come from unskilled occupations. Many of the young people have never worked. They need assist ance in choosing a suitable type of job and in getting placed. Those from the unskilled labor group must, in general, switch to lighter jobs. How shall they go about this?
 Taxpayers spend millions of dol lars on caring for the 100000 pa tients who are discharged from sanatoria each year. Working at any job, regardless of the indi- viduafs abilities or the physical strain involved may lead to re- lapses which occur all too ire quently. Why not keep mar well, once larse sums of money have been invested in his cure? This is no sob story appeal but matter of dollars and cents. k there a solution? Perhaps not fol each one of the 100000, but there are some rays of hope.
 For our purposes we shall con- sider rehabilitation as the restor. ation of an individual to tha

be considered in terms of his specific abilities for the particu- lar work to be done" He feels that, "The tuberculosis applicant is entitled, along with every worker who possesses a special group of problems, to the time necessary to give him a specializ- ed placement service" Such an enNghtening attitude is certainly encouraging since it promises con tinued effort in the direction of overcoming employer prejudice against hiring the ex-pateint.
 The public health nurse and the social worker are important not only through their family visits during the patients sanatorium stay but in their follow-up after discharge.
 Taxes pay for most of the san atorium care, for the federal agencies mentioned, and for some of the public health nursing ac- tivities. But the coordination of the various activities to form a Well-rounded rehabilitation pro- gram is a special job that in var ious localities is the task of a we'll l-trained counsellor and Jason officer. Christmas Seals help to pay for such rehabilitation direc- tors, and for the many-sided re- mobilization program of the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association.

und of the patient, knowledge of abilities determined by vocation al cptitude tests, and conferences wi h the physician and the pail ent. A general program may then be m pped out for each patient consistent with his interests, apti- tudes, and personal characteris- tics.
 If training is recommended, the next step is enrolment in the proper classes in the sanatorium educational scheme. Even the fact that a patient is confined to bed need not, in some hospitals, prevent him from studying. Out standing examples of the use of the radio as an educational tool may be found at Saranac Lake, New York and Mountain Sanator ium, Hamilton, Ontario in Cana da. Patients own radios or ear phones enable them to attend the classes The range of cour- ses now offered in sanatoria pre- sents a surprising variety-aca- demic work, commercial, and di- verse vocational courses from dressmaking to laboratory tech nician.
 Upon discharge a patient may be ready for placement. For those in need of vocational cour- ses, the rehabilitation bureaus es- tablished in all but three states offer an unusual opportunity. Federal and state funds finance this service which enables the re- mobilization departments to retain people "who have been disabled by accident or otherwise Many bureaus will not accept an appli- cant until he is discharged. Tracy Copp of the Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Service, however, has given examples of states whi- oh have not confined their work to arrested eases. Instead, they feel as we do, that training begun in the sanatorium cuts short the training time necessary after dis charge and diverts attention from breeding about symptoms and worry over the future.
 After training is completed the next stop is, of course, placement in a job where the acquired know ledge can be applied. Here again federal-state agency steps in. The U. s. Employment Service has affiliated services in 37 states These are free employment bur- eaus, many of which have special departments or agents to handle so-called handicapped people. In his article, w. Frank Persons, Director of the U. s. Employment Service, gives his bureaus phil sophy governing its placement of handicapped persons generally . that the applicant must
