RECONSTRUCTION" Is the great word

In the world now.

It Is a new kind of story In this new kind of times—nations bereft of hosts of their youths, thousands of the maimed slowly returning to their own countries. Here, in Washington, at Walter Reed hospital under the command of CoL E. R. Schreiner and his staff, our own story Is brought home In a -ray that Is a threefold miracle to those who are watching the “re-

« making of some crippled or disabled boy. Granted, It is l great many crippled young men to see at one time, there at Walter "Reed; a

y, ny not give the 1918 Nobel peace : of this miracle of remaking which Is being «e to General Foch? I wrought there by the doctors, surgeons, educators

and psychologists of the medical department of our army. Indeed, sometimes It is a miracle of "life more abundant" growing Out of seeming

. helplessness.

If you have not, undoubtedly you will soon have the opportunity, for the film will

be sent broadcast.

There Is another film that shows part of the threefold miracle for the returned men at Walter Reed, but only part: (1) the film can show you how such a boy can make one arm or one leg do the work of two; (2) It Illustrates graphically how he Is trained to u more Interesting and well-paid trade than be had before the war. and his amputatloo—but (S). the film alone, of course, cannot show you the “life more abundant" which he feels coming through the training of his mind, as he learns to r.-a*d amt write end life reveals ne«

wonders and new opportunities.

MaJ. il. T. Baldwin. 8. G, U. 8JL. with his assl*ants, has provided opportunities of advancement for all of these men. While a few words might explain In general what It Is that w^ks this miracle of what the surgoous call “reconstruction," It ha* taken the evolution of all the centuries to develop the knowledge which these surgeons and

psychologists now poaaeas.

The process of reconstruction begins with the distinctly physical treatment, medical or surgical. mctsac< , and the various kinds of physio therapy. This Is followed „ r carried ,.a in conjunction with that occupational reconstruction which develops new muscular c-.ulrol and power lu the partially 'analysed limb or In the atump. while It la at the same time teaching a new trade or occupation through Hist very exercise; and in the ihlrd p’sew , It Is. simultaneously, clearing and training u*
