This must be corrected if the industrial world is to get Die full value of the work of men crippled in the war. Professor Jules. -Ainar lias written n book, "TJifl Physiology of Industrial Organisation," to show that the beet results can be obtained only, by employing scientific instruments to find out each man's capacity of lung, heart, nerve, and muscle, the limits of labour without undue fatigue, nnd the -most economical mode of using implements. He says that 80 per cent, of mutilated men p<lll relurii to norma! life if put through iv physiological course of trainins:. But this method "the wounded soldier receives an' education which regulates bis efforts and his spped. disciplining his movements and adapting them to exact operations every detail nf which has been studied. He is spitrod nil superfluous fatigue, all waste of time and en«i:gy.".
