Disabled Soldiers and Sailors; Pensions and Training (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Disabled Soldiers and Sailors; Pensions and Training

At the moment in the history of civilization when the economic usefulness of the individual worker has been carried to the high est point of progress in the arts and sciences, by the organiza tion of industry and by the accumulation of capital, a world war has suddenly exposed to the risk of disablement a wholly un precedented number of the world's workers. Never before have so many young and able-bodied men been maimed in the same time. Never before would it have been so important to society - to say nothing of their own interest - that they should as quickly and as completely as possible be restored to economic usefulness.
