everywhere sighed with apprehension. Abso-
lutely no facilities existed for training them.
Because of their various defects, it was i'm
possible to put these recruits through the
basic 13 weeks training course - physically
they could not take it. So, in the sultry eve
nings of last June and July, Lieutenant Colo
mel w. Lutz KIigbaum, World War l hero
and chief of operations of the training at
Camp Mccoy, got together with Colonel
George M. MacMullin. the camps command
ing, officer and worked out a solution
Mosr of our harassed high command re-
garded the 1B men as necessary evil. Colo
mel Krigbaum looked on them as an opportu-
nity. If, as is now estimated, there were to
be 100000 men in the Army by the end OF
1943, Krigbaum figured there must be thou
sands - even hundreds of thousands - of
places which could be filled satisfactorily by
handicapped men. And every job so filled
would release man for combat duty!
But under-par men could not be trained in
camps where no specific provision had been
made for them. So Colonel Krigbaum pro-
posed to segregate them, in school built
especially for their needs. Fired with enthusl-
asm over the scheme, Krigbaum and Mac
Mullin enlisted the cooperation of General
Henry S. Aurand, head of the Sixth Service
Command. Then Washington okayed the
idea, and on August l, 1912, the first recruits
marched into barracks.

for every type of disability. Hard-of-hearing
men are placed down front in classrooms, or
in the first row at drill, so that they can under
stand their instructors. You II find quite few
hearing aids at camp! Overweight or heart
cases are given special permission to with
draw from drill if it exceeds their endurance.

The basic educational idea at Camp Mccoy
is to get away from inflexible mass-production
methods and to fit the training to the handi
cap Private Paul Jones was professor of organ
music at large Western university. His right
eye vision measures 20(40O, which means he
can see at 20 feet what man with normal
sight sees at AGO. When Jones first lined up

0F YOU were a hundred miles northwest of
Chicago, you might see company of SOL
d diers marching snappily down the street,
heads erect, shoulders back, legs moving with
pistonlike precision. But if doctor, standing
on the curb as they passed were to examine
half dozen of them, he would be astounded.
The young giant with red hair has glass
eye; the chap beside him has an eye so hope
lessly deficient it might as well be glass. The
next soldier has two fingers missing from his
left hand, one from his right. The youngster
with the slight limp, ordinarily associated
with sore dogs" is an infantile paralysis
victim. The thin boy with the amiable grin
will never pose for dental ad - he has only
four teeth And in the rear, almost unnoticed,
is hunchback.
These doughboys are the visible results
Of a special experiment for handicapped
men now being carried on by the Army
in the gently rolling hills of Wisconsin.
Stationed at Camp Mccoy, they are members
of the Sixth Service Command Limited Train
ing School, the first and largest of its kind. Its
work has proved 50 successful that the Army
is using it as pattern for similar centers
throughout the country. For out OF 400 posi-
tons listed in the Army job-classifcation
book, more than 100 can be satisfactorily
filled by handicapped lB men.
OF course, since our Army standards are so
high, many of the boys are normal, save for
some hidden defect which represents an in
convenience rather than an actual disability.
That six-foot-three neighbor of yours may
never have mentioned his hernia operation.
The bookkeeper who has worked beside you
for five years may have defective muscle in
his elbow. Granted that neither they nor their
more seriously handicapped buddies have
much chance of becoming Commands,
Uncle Sam still wants them.

cided to draft the 1B men, overworked ofhcers

One would suppose that all this individual
attention would prolong the training period.
Quite the opposite is true. The lB men cover
practically the entire range of the basic 13-
weeks training in three and half weeks.
Turnover
Ar FIRST glance this seems impossible, but
the explanation is simple one: since the lB
man is not being nodded for combat duty, in
many subjects his training need only cover
of practice to become a marksman, yet
man can learn to handle rifle in a few hears..
Today the Sixth Service Command Linz
tied Training School houses 1900 students;
a new class of 1000 boys arrives every We'd
nesday "a class of 1000 graduates" every
Monday. Already there are 10000 graduates,
scattered throughout the country and over
seas And during the training course, the med
ical staff has been able to reclassify seven and
half per cent of the students as LA men.
Camp Mccoy is u triumph of re-educa-
ton rather than rehabilitation. 1t makes
men over by giving them a new point Of
view. For when the boys first arrive they're
even more confused and discouraged than the
average draftee. Many of them are resentful;
they don't think they should have been draft
ed. Others have whats the use?" attitude
They can't see that there's any place for them
in the Army. But after series of group and
personal talks, the men actually forget their
individual problems. They realize they're just
as important as anyone else.
Nowhere is this attitude more cultivated
than in the Personnel Office, under the guild
ance of Captain H. T. Williams. Whenever
fresh group arrives at camp, Captain Williams
receives from the various induction centers
complete charts showing all the things the
men can do or learn to do. He begins working
on these charts week before the completion
of the course, 50 that he can ship the graduates
out promptly.
At first the graduates were sent only within
the corps area and were received by their new
commanders with misgivings. But the value
of the Mccoy training was soon apparent,
even to skeptics - so much so that now the
requisitions for their services are received
direct from Washington and the graduates
are distributed throughout the country.
Some of the men prove ideal for Battalion
MP. jobs. Soldiers with only one good eye
often fit splendidly into Coast Artillery out
fits - you have to close one eye IN aiming
big gun. Cooks, bakers, electricians, carpen-
tiers, typists, plumbers, chauffeurs and musl-
