Study
Help to Vets
Lessons Are Important Part
Of Medical Treatment
For War Victims.

PHOENIXVILLE, PA. - That
music hath charms is an old ano
established fact, but it took a wa
to develop music as an important
part of medical treatment.
Convalescing veterans of World
War II are taking piano lessons at
the Valley Forge general hospital,
says international News service.
They'll probably never be finished
musicians in the finer sense of the
word, but they'll be able to play
for their own amusement.
Their teacher is a Philadelphia
Woman-Miss Blanche Rush-WhO
Is months ago volunteered her
services to the American Red
Cross.
Literally hundreds of men men
wounded in battle - men with
varied backgrounds - have gone to
Miss Rush's classes.
All Walks of Life.
Some are college professors. Some
are truck drivers. Some are old,
some young. There are white-collar
workers and miners, dentists and
highway engineers, tax experts and
tavern keepers.
Some can read music, others don't
know a diminished ninth chord from
a piece of catgut. But they all have
the will to learn and the desire to
pass away long hours of con-
v~alescence.
The soldier-pupils have proven
that almost no physical handicap is
great enough to douse the fires of
ambition. She taught blind men to
play.
One of her first pupils was a
totally blind soldier who had never
attempted music. He became prof.
cient and, Miss Rush says, "plays
beautifully today now that he's
back in civilian life.
To her classes go men in wheel
chairs and OF crutches. Pupils who
cannot walk to the piano have the
piano brought to them.
They Learn Quickly.
Stiffened fingers, Miss Rush dis
covered, sometimes become flexible,
a miracle which she believes due in
part to the pupils desire to play.
If a student is handicapped by the
loss of one, two or three digits on
one of his hands, Miss Rush has him
concentrate on the use of the other
hand.
A patient whose one hand may be
temporarily useless by reason of an
operation is encouraged to attend the
lessons regardless and continue to
play with the other.
The men learn rapidly, too.
But Miss Rush's method is de-
for individual needs. She

pore of the course. Later perhaps,
when a man decides to go further '
With music'h he can develop his pro- !

melody running above the chords" i
And that's what they're taught. \
