In other words there is a lot of this defective material which exists in our society today which has absolutely lost motion, which could be put to a great deal of use if we were wise enough to do it, if public sentiment would support us and assist. It is easy to talk of that here. It is another thing to get public sentiment to help us. There is no longer hospitals organization than this in the world and perhaps the hundred hospitals represented here might do something to bring about that public sentiment. So I am disposed to look at people not from a strictly diagnostic point of view to look at them from the social point of view as to the possibility of their becoming useful to a certain degree as social units and the possibility of society metabolizing them. Just one more word. There has been an enormous amount said the last few years on heredity, and there is a great deal of feeling that there is a great deal due to heredity. The study is very interesting, scientifically very important, but the only attitude we should assume is to practically throw out of consideration the whole question of inheritance. If you are going to say this fellow has got a certain disease, and you are going to conclude it is inherited, that is a fatalistic diagnosis and the tendency of the diagnosis is to hamstring any effort that may be made in his behalf. The only way we can find out the percentage of salvageable material is to endeavor to make the adjustment. If we put them down as hereditary, our inclination will be to throw them out of the possibility of consideration. We should rather stress the possibilities to the utmost and find some solution or partial solution of a great many of these problems. DR. CHRONQUEST (U.S.P.H.S.): So much has been said that I shall not go on with the problem. I would mention the Compensation side. I have been wondering for some time, especially among the neuroses, if by our present system of compensation we are not tending to make crystallized neuroses. I do not pretend to answer the question. Take, for example, a chap who has been in the service, who has done good work, whose social scale has not been high, whose life prior to service has been, as you might say, from hand to mouth. He has come out of the service with a definite, known disability acquired by service. By being hospitalized he has been compensated justly by the Government; he has received the treatment to which he is entitled; but during the days of his treatment he has found that he is able to get along more easily under these conditions than he did prior to service, and decides that one of the best ways he can make a living is by Compensation. I do not say that that is true with all, but it is with some of the cases.
