Mental Rehabilitation
DR.. Yoder, superintendent OF the
Ypsilanti State Hospital, addressed
his audience on Mental Rehabili'
tation." The hospital, only IA years
old. houses 3,342 patients. Its pur-
pose, he said, Is TO help many OF
these patients to return to normal
living. With many touches OF hu-
NOR to point up the seriousness OF
his subject. DR.. Yoder explained
that a ARCHAEOLOGICAL approach
is made to these cases, and their
physical infirmities treated as part
OF their mental care. Quoting from
talk by DR.. Ben Rush given 115
years ago, he stated that too much
study and too great concentration
on one subject we're believed to
cause mental disorders.
Now, inability to adjust to our
rapid progress and complex exist
ence is the chief factor. DR.. Rush
described treatment Of mental
cases Of that day and DR.. Yoder
stated that some OF these were
forerunners OF modern therapeutic
methods. For instance, pouring wa
ter down the sleeve of an appraised
arm developed into the elaborate
hydrotherapy OF today. Our mod
ern fever treatment is a refine,
ment of the practice OF taking pa
tients to a swamp to be bitten by
mosquitoes, thus inducing fever.
Suddenly removing a chair, so that
the patient sat on the floor was a
primitive beginning Of the cleo
trio shock treatment OF today
DR.. Yoder explained that all per
sons have as an aim happiness and
security, Frustrated by circum.
stances, the ordinary person will
modify his desires and substitute
some other activity to enjoy. II n
person finds himself unable to do

his address on Discovering Amer
lea for Ourselves" said, In the
democratic way OF life, 1t Is not
necessarily important that we think
alike but that we come together
and think about the situation and
discuss Il Is important.
Since the beginning OF our his
tory we have been pushing our
frontiers ever westward and each
step TO a new frontier issued in a
new age or brought forth the sym
boil OF a new era. We have grown
In power to the point where we
have become not only the new
world power but a New World
Power This has affected our whole
national outlook. Our foreign poll
cy has always been one OF expedi'
ency handling each problem to the
best OF our ability as II came be-
fore us. We have the balance OF
power in the world today. Are We
competent to handle this power!
I'VE have always offered free
dom and opportunity TO the op-
dressed people who have flocked
10 our shores. We have been proud
Of our Land OF Opportunity" but
now the situation is reversed. We
must try to help them develop op-
portunity and freedom in their own
countries.
DIR. Reed suggested two ISLANDS
OF Security" One, the Island OF
Character The great strength and
development OF a free people Ia
found in the character OF the PEG,
ME that make up the nation. All
great historic civilizations nave
gone down because Of moral disin'
tegration.
The second is the Island OF Good
Will" We can build this island by
playing fair and square with all
the peoples OF the world, dealing
with them firmly but justly. the
myth OF the white mans suprema-
cy is exploded.
We must do more and more for
the destitute OF this world. This
is not only good religion but good
strategy. There is no better way to
build good will than to share what
We have.
In conclusion, DR.. Reed pointed
out that what we as Americans do
in the coming months is going to
determine what is going to happen
to humanity.
