CONCERNING CRIPP Editor The Star: The public has too often confused the idea of a crip ple with that of a beggar. The re sulting reaction has done a great in jury to the cause of the self-respect in regarding him ing led man as a subject for charity, but not for trade training and employment ‘To be sure, there is historical prec edent for this attitude, for in past and centuries various peo ples have condemned the cripple to the status of roadside beggar, or, at r or court decades employed his as jea' foc And in our experience there in justification in the view, because we ha nm y cripples at «treet corners, making public exhibition of their deformity or amputation and |soliciting alms of the pa wb |The number of these beggars is |amall, in comparison to the great | body of physically handicapped men who are usefully employed, but the few have vigorously advertised, have }made a considerable impression on | the susceptibilities of the community and hi reaped a profitable har vest. A bank teller reported recent |ly the case Of a crippled street beg gar, who deposited in a savings count, after paying his living ex penses, $40 weekly permitted to ply his trade in a great injustice to the disabled men of char. acter and independence.

For with the exception of our soldiers | who will return disabled from the Ifront, the public should-have no ex cuse for associating their prospec | tive career with that of the mendi cant On the contrary, ev influ. ence should be brought to bear upon the public to show that physical | disability is an obsta but easily |superable with character and ambi |tion; and that the cripple may be | made into a useful and productive citizen, | In several cities there have been | inaugurated campaigns to drive th le shall exist no more. ty may act well be under taken as a first step in preparation for the return of our disabled sol diers and sailors DOUGLAS C.
