The Health Bulletin » 15 oxy-acetylene and electric welding, gardening, typewriting, etc., etc., and makes a study of the mentality of each soldier boy, collaborating with the medical staff, including his educational and hereditary advantages, and when he has an arrested case the vocational education is transferred to a college or other place and his tuition is paid by the Federal Board and in addition he is paid $80,00 per month and up while he is continuing this vocational education. While at the Sanatorium he receives his treatment and $30.00 per month (for private) at the hands of the goveniment. A case in point was a soldier boy who was "down in the mouth," had the "mulligrubs," didn't want anything done for him, didn't want to get well— was homesick. A vocational teacher found after many attempts to approach him from as many different angles, that he had always worked in a dairy until he was drafted into the service, and that he did this to support a widowed mother from the time he was twelve years old and that his father had been a mechanic. The teacher then began to talk mechanics and found out that he had been reading, "Popular Mechanics." A copy was procured for him, he devoured it and later a pencil and other drawing material were brought, and he was a different man, Hope beamed from his countenance and six months later when he left the Sanatorium he was given a position as draftsman in a large office at $75.00 per month. That is Occupational Therapy—that is Vocational Education. When I told this story to a shrewd business man, he replied, "It is strange that a man should have to go to war, become a casualty from tuberculosis, and be sent to a Sanatorium for treatment, before there is any one to fit him into an occupation in which he could succeed easily and well, and but for which war and tuberculosis and sanatorium he would never have found. How often we try to put square pegs into round holes when selecting an occupation or profession for our children. Wouldn't it be splendid if the State would do this thing for all her children, even while they are well and strong." We must do it.—L. B. McB. IN THE CORN FIELD Agricultural Work by Student-Patient Soldiers at State Sanatorium THE SANATORIUM CLINICS In the furtherance of our purpose to make the Sanatorium of the most possible service to the people and to the profession of the State, we have established diagnostic clinics to which patients may come from any part of the state for free examination and where physicians may come for special instruction in tuberculosis. That our regular work at the Sanatorium may not be interfered with it has been necessary for us to apportion the number of cases coming each day and to have a regular time for these examinations, the time being eight to eleven a.m. So if you wish to be examined free, write for an appointment. Otherwise, there will be a charge of $5.00. Each patient is examined carefully and advised according to the peculiarities of his own case. He is also given printed instructions on how to get well and how to keep from infecting others. We are now making about 1,000 such examinations a year at the Sanatorium. The demand is so great that
