Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Work of Our Hands: A Study of Occupations for Invalids
A war that goes on year after year between the machine and the man, between disease and the man, keeps our ambulances busy and taxes our charities in no uncertain way. The hospi tals do their best, our charitable organizations are very efficient, but there are thousands of men and women in every great city doomed to idleness and dependence because of injury or some illness that makes ordinary work out of the question.
The man out of work because of hard times is badly enough off. What of the man who because of some crippling or disfigurement can never h0pe to work again? Put yourself in that man's place - imagine the despair and the final degeneration that must sap at last all that is brave and good in life.
Then there is the economic side. We know that wealth depends upon productive industry.
The really well to do community or the really prosperous man must be constantly at work, adding to the world's store of valuable things. The moment industries st0p there is waste and desolation.

Excerpt from The Work of Our Hands: A Study of Occupations for Invalids
The following words appeared in a recent Boston Herald editorial: "One of the many stultifying effects of war has already found a pathetic example in the Industrial Home for Crippled Soldiers which has been established in Lyons, France. Recognizing the terrible burden of incapacitated men - a burden not only on the finances but on the general esprit of the country - France has taken the institution at Charleroi, Belgium, as a model for its new school, which will open as soon as possible. Here, as at Charleroi, there will be seven departments: Shoe-making, bookbinding, harness making, tailoring, basketry, matting weaving, and bookkeeping. And here thousands of men, most of them young, many of them destined for careers of wide helpfulness, will come, grateful to pick up sufficient knowledge to make them partially or entirely self-supporting for the rest of their shattered lives."
