MENTAL DEPRESSION
It should not be, forgotten (says "The Times’’) that no amount of expenditure on maintenance can cure tlie one really serious evil of -unemployment which has manifested itself namely, mental depression and dis-, couragement. Enforced idleness afflicts] the mind even in a still healthy and j sufficiently nourished body. The first j deduction from this feature in medical reports from all over the country is that the efforts now being made to provide occupation for the unemployed, and particularly for juveniles, deserve unremitting support. But the second, and even more important, deduction is that public policy and public expenditure must bo so directed that the disabilities and burdens upon industry may bo lightened and that thus the unemployed may be given the best salve to mind and body alike, which is the hope of a job. m 11 si s WORDS OE WISDOM.
