Leonard, Publisher 1919 Copyright, 1919, by W. M. Leonard To THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR MENTAL HYGIENE AND ITS WORK IN WAR AND PEACE PREFACE This compilation was begun in the preparedness atmosphere of the U. S. Army Neuropsychiatric Training School at Boston, 1917-18. This particular school had to adapt itself to the clinical material of the Psychopathic Hospital. Although war cases early began to drift into the wards (even including some overseas material), it was thought well to supplement the ordinary “acute, curable, and incipient” mental cases of the hospital wards and out-patient service with representative cases from the literature.
