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.
