In many case all that is required is physical restoration, which is possible through surgical or medical treatment. No funds are avail able for this particular activity but in several cases local philanthropists have been jrlnd to bear the expense where-it wa evident that the patient could not. only be restored to a decree of physical fitness but could lie made an independent productive nieinUr of society. Excellent results in many instances have been secured by the state depnrt- , oring to support his family, consisting in a business college at 'ha i lot '. . and i of an imalid wife and nine . hihiivii. t he well up toward the head of his i-'ass. oldest of hIioiii is a 17-vrarohl girl, by I Another instance ,,f institution I fanning on rented land.

Neces sarily in these cases the education, form er experience and inclination of the applicant and employment conditions in the community are determining factors. Leroy W. Oiiphant, of Vayetteville, lost a leg under a freight train when he was a boy. Notwithstanding this handi cap, he wns compelled, to drop out of school upon completion of the sixth I grndo and seek employment in order to : aiil in the support of his parents.

The boy concurred in the decision , that shoe repairing would be a most . suitable occupation and arrangements were made with a local repair shop to teach him the trade, the state depart ment paying his jnuintenance until such Itime as he could support himself.

'Notwithstanding his affliction he ha-l i sac-ceded in getting through the eighth i grade in school.

It is in teresting to note incidentally that the ' operation of a sewing machine has great ly improved the condition of her hip and . she is now able to walk witii a cane in 1 place of a crutch. : Correspondence courses are used in the rehabilitation work to some extent. One handicapped young man at Rockingham who has a mechanical turn is taking a correspondence course in mechanical j drawing. A prominent young mill man of the community, an A. & K.

I Th" department of industrial rehabili tation is making good. It is accomplish- ing a work which is tremendously worth i while, both from a social and an economic i standpoint. The handicapped man new! ' no longer look to charity. If he is intel ligent and in earnest, means are avail jable through which he may secure train . ing and work out his own salvation, j And after all, in the last analysis, this ; work is in the same category with nil other lines of public instruction. In a way it is even more important than ordi nary school work because it is making staunch, useful citiwus of non-producers who, in some instances at least, have been led toward pauperism. revised a graduate B'itid who .. a tea. ii n experience .liad.
