WITHOUT CRIPPLES
Maimed Soldiers to Be Restored
to Their Normal Earning i
Capacity.
RE-EDUCATION WILL DO WORK
Uncle Sam, Profiting Prom Experience
of the Allies, Haa Provided Money
And Machinery for Un»
dertaklng.
By CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT.
A war without cripples. That Is
what this war Is to be, so far as
America's armies are concerned. No
man can justly be called a cripple
who In fair and open, competition with
his fellows is able to earn a living
as good as or better than he did be
fore he was wounded; and Uncle Sam
promises exactly this ability to a very
high percentage of the men who In
former- wars would have been con
sidered hopeless wrecks. That he does
not promise Ignorantly or vainly Is
proved by the results already attained
in France and England in the work of
"re-educating" the permanently in
jured. The war insurance bill passed
by congress provides the money and
the machinery for this wonderful
work.
By the terms of this bill the United
States not merely insures that crip
pled and blinded soldiers shall ,not
starve; it also Insures, literally, that
nine out of ten of them shall be re- ]
stored to their normal ability and
earning capacity. The war may have I
Its killed, but Uncle Sam says it
shall have no cripples in the usual '
meaning of the word.
It has long been known that sol
diering is really beneficial to the great
majority of those who engage in it.
The outdoor life, regular exercise, j
wholesome and abundant food, and
training In the care of the body con
lifelong benefits. Statistics show
that «ven this great war will benefit
at least .13 out of every 15 soldiers
who reach the front not only physi
cally'but also economically, for their
physical superiority will undoubtedly
jiin for them au economic superiority
over those who see no service In the
field.
Price Not Same Now.
The other two out of fifteen seem to
remain to pay the price. But they do
not pay It as they have done In former
wars. The government, by Its system
of Insurance—not pensions nor charity,
but Insurance, the premiums for which
are puld by service—agrees to provide
for the families of nearly half of them
(the half that pay the last great
debt); and It further promises the
other half that they shall be so re
educated that they will be able to take
an equal part and many of them a
better part In the life of the world
thun they would have done If they had
not gone to war at all.
Instances drawn from the experience
of the European powers are many. An
aforetime laborer In a steel mill, who
h«H lost both legs, becomes a repairer
of motor engines; a carpenter with one
arm becomes a turner at double pay ; a
blinded blacksmith becomes, by the
aid of an assistant, an expert on ven
tilating and heating; a blinded mana
ger of a great grocery store becomes so
much more adebt that he returns to
his old job and swiftly wins an In
creased salary. And there are thou
sands more.
And this Is In France and England,
where money for re-education Is none
too plentiful and where the great ma
jority of men are content to remain all
their lives in the state to which they
were l>orn. In America, where money
Is plentiful and where every man Is
striving to better his condition, the re
sults will certainly be greater by far.
Paid While They Learn.
While the Injured men are learn
ing they will get their pay as sol
diers—the pay they were getting
when they were Injured—and their
families will get the allowance that
they had been receiving. Both before
and after this period they will, of
| course, get the Insurance to which
! they are entitled by the terms o; the
| Insurance act.
In re-educating the soldiers, as In
everything else connected with the
war, the United States will profit by
the earlier mistakes of Its associates
In the war.
Some of these mistakes were seri
ous but unavoidable. One of them
arose from lack of preparation and
another from lack of explanation.
Jean Poilu never heard of re-educa
tion until he had recovered about as
well as he ever would from the loss of
his eyes. Jean had been an acrobat In
a circus and to him the future seemed
very dark. He could not go back to
his old trade, and he knew no other
and did not dream that he could learn
another. When the doctor asked him
what trade he wanted to learn he did
not understand. Later he was suspi
cious. He did not believe that he
could learn any of the trades that
were suggested to him and he was
convinced that somewhere and some
how a string was tied to the offer. It
took a long time and much persuasion
to lndnce him even to indicate which
trade he preferred. Then, when at
last the doctor began to believe that
he was won over, Jean suddenly
turned crusty and refused absolutely;
to go any further yrtth the lag tier.
Moreover, 90 per cent of hi* rentes la
the hospital did the aamo, thing on
almost the same day.
Paared Leu of Pensions.
The hospital staff could not under
stand It Later—much lator—after ■
good many of Jean's friends had per
force been discharged from the hos
pital, the staff discovered the explana
tion: Jean and his mates thought that
they had found the string tied to the
offer. "As soon as you learn a new
trads they'll take away your pension,"
was the whisper that had run like
wildfire through the wards. Even the
most positive denials failed to coun
teract its effects Altogether, and a good
many European soldiers still refuse to
learn, solely because they fear to lose
their pension. They have no desire to
lose one bone by snapping at lt« re
flection in the water.
Jean, however, was convinced In
time. He learned to be a masseur—
as a gymnast he had perforce been
something of a "rubber"—and Is now
earning quite as much as he ever did
and has far steadier employment than
he ever had.
The United States will of course
meet no such difficulty. Our soldiers
will know all about re-education long
before they are wounded; and they
will know that the Insurance bill spe
cifically provides that a soldier shall
suffer no reduction in his compensa
tion because he learns to work in spite
of a permanent injury. They will
know that no person who had lost his
hand, for Instance, was ever reduce^
by Uncle Sam because he learned to
write with the stump.
"Tommy" In Oeapalr.
Thomas Hopkins suffered in an
other way. Thomas waa an anemic
down-and-outer from the London
slums when he squeezed, or was
squeezed. Into the army. A year In
the trenches built him up, and then a
shrapnel mutilated his right am so
badly that It had to be taken off,
Hopkins was in despair; gifted with
some ambition he had seen a way out
of the alums, and now he seemed about
to be forced back into them with an
added .handicap. -He. wpuld . haxe
BnappetTaT any Trainee" to leant;
But the system was not well or
ganized In those days, and for weeks
Hopkins had to sit around In a con
valescent hospital nursing his despair
until he had slipped back Into his old
Indolent ways; his muscles had grown
feeble and his Joints and1 tendons stiff.
It took a long time to rouse his ambi
tion again and still longer to educate
the sensitiveness of his stump and to
teach him how to use It and how to
use some of the 40 and more attach
ments that have been devised for
use on stumps. He did learn, how
ever, and now runs a typesetting ma
chine In a London newspaper office.
Hopkins was wounded, nearly two
years ago. Nowadays he—and of
course any American—would start re
education at the very earliest possible
moment Nowadays, by the way, It
has been found necessary to restrict
the hours that a convalescent may
work; or the great majority would
overtax their strength.
Disabled Men Best Teachers.
Another lesson that Europe has
passed on is the necessity of teaching
by instructors who are disabled In the
same way as those they teach. An in
structor with two perfect legs, for in
stance, cannot possibly understand
the despair that crushes a legless man;
whereas a legless teacher by his own
ability inspires Mb pupils with hope—
and hope Is the basis of the whole
work. This fact, so obvious when it
is once suggested, was discovered by
accident. Hose Le Blanc, who had lost
both hands at the wrist by an explo
sion in a munitions plant, applied to
the orthopedic hospital for food when
starving in the streets of Paris. At
table she showed such skill in using
the stumps of her arms that the pa
tients marveled and tried to Jmltate
her. The rest followed naturally.
This one girl, who thought her Ufe fin
ished, is now the best teacher for arm
less men In all France. She has re
created the lives of hundreds.
Many former soldiers are now teach
ers. The fact that they have been
through the mill }s an enormous en
couragement to the injured.
tko. civics, of Tori, is wlde^. already
men who' have iTT.~oaJe or bdtft' arms
or legs are doing excellent work at
photography, movie projecting, electric
wiring, linotype operating, elevatoi
running, baking, tailoring, drafting,
and many other trades. They play golf,
use eledges, scrub, writ* and ho«.
Blind Taught Typewriting.
Blind men have also a great rafigt
of work thrown open to them. In
England all of them are taught to
typewrite; and each, on leaving the
school, Is given a typewriter, so thai
he can also attend to his correspond
ence. To typewrite really seems to
come by nature nowadays. For a
trade they may choose either mas
sage, machinery adjusting, net making,
piano tuning, brush making, pottery,
or any one of many more.
It Is, of course, of little avail to
teach a disabled man a trade and then
to turn him out to seek an employer.
Employers are ell .'from Mlssonrl"
and hesitate to employ disabled men.
Hence Uncle Sam, like hla allies, will
have to find Jobs for his papUs and
be able to guarantee that they can do
their work. Some of these pupils, by
the way, will be willing to work any
where, some will work only near their
homes, and some will be outrageously
persnickety both as to location and em
ployers. Uncle Sam will try to satisfy
them all. Moreover, he Is planning to
establish, as none of the allies has yet
done, a follow-up system, by which, It
a man gets discouraged and qnlts, Un
cle Sam will know of tt and will do
his best to start him upward and on
ward again.
