Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Disabled Soldiers and Sailors; Pensions and Training Fortunately for the people of the United States, the subject of the restoration of disabled soldiers and sailors to economic usefulness has become of less importance in point of magnitude than it feared might be necessary at the time the work was undertaken. The prolongation of the war would have brought us many more thousands of injured men to care for and the matter would, therefore, have required a much more widespread attention on the part of our people. However, although the number for whom we have thus to provide is happily smaller than we feared would be the case, their proper treatment and care is one that requires the fullest knowledge and deserves the deepest interest and attention of the nation. Dr. Devine´s study of the subject is, therefore, exceedingly timely. The thoroughness with which he has done his work, the sympathy with which he has treated the subject, the opportunities which he had abroad to study the methods of Great Britain and France, and his general familiarity with the field of social amelioration, all help to give his report an importance and value which the work of but few writers on the subject could equally well command. His long stay in France in Red Cross duties has given him opportunities to secure first-hand information and he has presented it clearly and skilfully. The general public, as well as those who are professionally connected with the matter, will thus find his study not only important but extremely interesting. In addition to his study of the subject in Great Britain and France, Dr. Devine has added chapters on Canada, the United States, Germany and Austria.
