THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, JANUARY II db "e HOOK INSTEAD OF HAND FOR CRIPPLED SOLDIERS- MAJOR C. S. BERRY DESCRIBES VOCATIONAL WORK FOR DISABLED Holding a fork with a pair of pliers instead of fingers is just one of the tricks of living which the recon- structionists of the medical corps 'are teaching crippled soldiers. A demon- stration of the feat may be secured from Major C. S. Berry, formerly as- sistant professor in the education de- partment, who is 4pending a 10 day leave in Ann Arbor before returning to his work at Washington. The science of preparing artificial limbs has been greatly advanced dur- ing this war and Major Berry de- scribes the satisfaction of the crip- ple who has a good-looking life-like arm to wear on Sundays, and all sorts of attachable tools, of which the hook is the most universally ueful, to wear while at work. They read like the list of adjustable contrivances which come with a sewing-machine, but according to Major Berry, work much better. Gives Mental Tests Major Berry is particularly con- cerned with the work of testing the mental capabilities of returned dis- abled soldiers with a view to deter- mining whether they will profit by re- education and vocational training as offered by the government. The crip- pled soldier may require "curative work,' .'particularly in the case of joints stiffened by wounds. This work is prescribed by a surgeon and given in the curative workshop, where fre- quent tests show the soldier that he is regaining the functions of his mus- cles. Then he is interviewed by psychologists who find out his previ- ous occupation and training, his na- tive intelligence and his own wishes concerning a future occupation. Boks are handed him on the vocation in which he in interested and he is given several weeks' trial at the work. If he does creditably, he may take a complete course in the work, per- haps'of several years' duration, at the expense ofthe government. Wide Range of Subjects The range of subjects and vocations offered is very wide, including lan- guages and other academic subjects, hand trades such as shoemaking, arts and crafts, skilled trades such as printing, and the principles of me - chanics, electricity and other sciences. While men are still in convalescent wards, the hand crafts, knitting, bas- keary, weaving, wood-carving, jew- elry, and like arts are taught, more with the object of giving the men something to do and turning their minds upon something beside them- selves, than with the idea of a per- manent vocation. Major Berry says that in spite of the generous educa- tional offer of the government, more than half of the men who for their own good and that of society obvi- onsly should avail themselves of it, fail to do so because of their anxiety to get home. and their short-sighted willingness to take a job open to them now from which they will probably be turned out when the able-bodied men return from France. Public Aftitude Wrong "It has been hard," says Major Ber- ry, "to get the public to take the right attitude toward the reconstruc- tion work. They wish to lionize the men for a time and they often suc- ceed in giving them the idea that it is" not imperative for them to earn a lie ardor has waned, our disabled soldiers will be selling shoestrings in the streets, when they might have be- come valuable in essential lines of work." MajorkBerry is heart and soul in his work, which he describes as "re- versing the process of preparing men for war. That process was to build many men into a unit. Our business is to individualize them once more." ENTENTE COUNCIL TO ISSUE TERMS (Continued from Page One) would look into the rights of each nation and would, consider what should be done to a state resisting. the decisions of the league. It also would take measures concerning any state not belonging to the league and would cause trouble by violence. The project foresees, in order to compel the submission of such a state or states, the constitution of an armed force exercising international control and the establishment of diplomatic, judicial, and economic measures tend- ing to isolate the rebellious state and compelling it to depend upon its own resources." Germany Must Change "Her Soul" "Germany,' 'he added, "would have to undergo not only a political revo- lution, but also a moral one. "Her very soul has to be changed," he said. In addition, Germany must give guarantees of a military character, make reparations and punish those who have violated all laws of human- ity. Until that is accomplished, Ger- many must be compelled to observe all the rules of international control to which other nations have agreed voluntarily.
