" DELLA
YOUR DUTY TO
WAR CRIPPLES.
The recent law making provision
by the Government for employment
of disabled and crippled soldiers and
sailors is a long step in the right di
rection.
We must fit those, who will soon
be returning from the front, mjnus
legs or arms, to fill a place in life,
and to become independent of char
ity.
The following sensible article is be
ing distributed by the Red Cross Ins
titute for Crippled and Disabled Men,
311 Fourth Avenue, New York, who
will gladly send you booklets on the
subject. *
The cripple is not helpless but cap
able, provided the right job is found
for him, and he is trained in prepar
ation for it. 2
Idleness is the calamity too great
to be borne. So what the cripple
needs is the chance to work, and the
encouragement to take advantage of
it.
In the past we have done every
thing possible to make the cripple
a failure. We have been lavish with
sympathy and charity but short on
giving him a real opportunity to make
good. The attitude of the public has
been a more baffling difficulty than
the loss of a limb.
With our new responsibilities to
the men disabled in fighting for us
in this war, we must make our in
fluence a help rather than hindrance.
’ It is no kindness to reduce them to
; the ignominy of dependence on others
for that makes them “crippled” in
‘deed. We must put them back in the
game, make them useful, and, in con
sequence, make life well worth living
again.
Nothing short of this is a square
deal to our men.
There are toflay' many seriously
crippled men—some without legs,
some even with beth arms gone—
who are doing their full share in the
work of the world. But they had
exceptional strength of character to
overcome the difficulties placed in
their path.
With a fair chance many others
could do the same. In this light the
_problem is hopeful rather than dis
couraging.
The cripple needs thorough train
ing for a trade which he can follow,
and intelligent placement in employ
ment. These the government will
supply for the returning soldiers, but
‘the responsibility for making this
work effective rests with the public.
You can help to make life worth
‘while for our crippled soldiers—
By showing them real gratitude
and respect but avoiding hero-wor
ship or sentimental sympathy.
By finding them real jobs which
they can hold down. If you are a
worker, by seeking out positions in
the shop or office which cripples can
hold; if an employer, by reserving
fo: cripples jobs they can properly
fill, not as charity, but on the basis
of competency alone.
By helping others to sensible and
intelligent views of the matter.
We cannot now afford to leave in
idleness men who can be useful pro
ducers. So as good patriots we can
_start with the cripples now among
‘us and continue the work with the
%cri&:led soldiers when they return.
| e may have cripples in the phy
'sical sense, but the moment we get
‘them a useful job the vital handi
cap disappears.
Can our crippled men count on you
as a real friend?
