FOR THE CRIPPLED SOLDIER

lowest circles, but the surroundings, the beautiful
designs that we gave him, developed in him a de-
sire for creating beautiful things, and he became
a very skilled craftsman.
Another case was that of a young man who was
born with his hands in an abnormal position, ren-
dering them practically useless. We taught him
show card writing. He held his pencil in his left
hand, and he was able to draw and make letters
very well. Another young man, whose right
hand was paralysed, just had sufficient power to
hold his paper and pen, to do mechanical draw-
ing.
A man who had paralysis in both legs, and who
needed two crutches, as both his legs dangled
under him in a very unseemly fashion, learned
the trade of chair caning, and during the sum-
mer vacation he managed to get the contract for
a large club which needed several hundred chairs,
and this cripple engaged ten able bodied men to
work for him.
A boy with a very bad deformity of the hip
needed two crutches to go about the workshop,
but notwithstanding this he was able to work
very well.
