What a Maimed Man Can Do
Employment management is a thinking job—a matter of judgment, and organizing ability, and tact, and personality. If a man has lost an arm or leg, but still has a good head and a noble heart, he may become a success in this field. Without a leg, or even both legs, a man may still get about enough within a plant to keep in touch with his shops, and be known by the rank and file as something more than an armchair officer. If he has lost an arm, or even both arms, he may be able to work out, with his stenographers and secretarial aids, such a detailed and searching division of labor between hand and brain as to make a success. Robustness and dependable health may play the same role in this work as in other administrative positions. Nervous poise and stability of temperament are highly essential.
