TirE ENTERPRISE MS) HujviAN Reconstruction IIP] war lias come to an end, but lias left ns face to face with many difficult prolilems. One of the greatest of tliese is the problem of hnman reconstruction. It may seem to lie of minor im])ortance, but think! Onr future generations are depending upon the present. We liave cri])|)led, maimed, liel])less lioys and men coming home to ns. Many are nervous wrecks, liaving been either shelled or gassed. Something must be done for them! And quickly! Otherwise, we liave a cripjiled and decrepit future ahead of ns. There are many lios])itals and institutions now in existence, not only here lint in Europe, where the war-cri])])led boys are brought back as nearly to their former normal selves as possilile. The l)oys who have been gassed or have had shell shock are extremely nervous. They are given different kinds of work to occupy their hands and minds, so that they foi get themselves and their troubles. Basket weaving is the best known and most ])opnlar of these occupations. The boys who have lost an arm or leg are given artificial ones and trained in the use of these new members. Those who have stiff muscles and joints are given a s])ecial massage treatment till the particular parts are limbered iqi. As all these different cases iinjirove, they are given light physical ex(M (Mses in the form of games, at first. (Jradnally, as they bec ' ome stronger, the exercise be( onies more vigorous until they are ready to step out into the world once more. ] Iany of the boys are at a conqilete loss as to what they shall do when they are out in tlu world again, because of their misfortunes— the loss of fingers, a hand or leg. The work sliojis of these hos])itals and institutions are the place where these boys discover their talents, jirobably dormant np to this time. They find out, perhaps, that they ai e gifted in some iieAV line of Avork, mannal or cleri(‘al, as the ( ase may be. They sjiecialize in this one branch and Avhen they leave, they feel very much at home out in the big Avorld again. This is the great work Avhich has to be done. Onr boys feel out of plac e Avhen they return. It is for ns to do onr best in ])ntting them back upon the same basis as that upon Avhich they stood when they left us,—in a hale and hearty condition, physically and mentally. JESSIE FILIPPINI, ’19. Ed. — 27 —

T he great war is over! The first ‘‘after the war” edition of the Enterprise is liere. AVe are i)rond of having been able to put out a good paper under adverse conditions. We are also innnensely })rond of having done onr hit toward win¬ ning the war by cntting down expenses on this edition. We will admit it was no fnn to do it, but we succeeded, and now the money saved is in Liberty Bonds. Even though the great conflict is over, we slionld kee]) on saving. We must not think, “The war is ovei now; we can spend all we want.” This is not the case. Right now, if ever, we are in need of many, many things, not only here at home, hnt also across the l)road seas. AVe must still save for tliose more in need than we are. Because of this, the Entei-prise Staff has done its best to keep ex})enses low, hnt still liave the same “good old Enterprise.” AVhile reading this issue, ])lease remeni))er that each page without a (‘lit means the saving of a few dollars for some friend in need. Also, we sincerely thank all those who so kindly and willingly hel])ed in making this issue of the Enterjirise a success. They are: The Argus for the publishing; Commercial Art Company, for the cuts; Staff , for all department work; Student Body, for its helpful (‘o-oiiera- tion; Aliss Hesse, for her valuable advice and suggestions; Air. Ahiy, Aliss Diggs, Aliss Alerritt and typing classes, for all typing done; and last blit not least, the advertisers who willingly helped us with their ads. — 26 —
