When it comes to restoring its I
damaged fighters, the government!
has moans and resources far beyond!
those of any human being or ordi-i
nary agency. Quite recently a young |
woman was located in Savannah, Ga. |
who was an expert at teaching the!
are of lip-reading to persons who
had^lost their hearing. Now she
has n class of six Southern soldiers,
whose sense of hearing had been de-(
stroyed in the war.
"I was a little afraid Lo try teach-;
ing grown people," she confessed, j
"My pupils had all been children, but'
# {.
they learned so rapidly and tried so|
hard?and succeeded so well?that I,
am tremendously proud of all of!
them."

up a vision of hard splendid offices,'
and inextricable tangles of red tape1
when the government is referred to.
