| Title: | Learning to walk on crutches |
| Description: | Caption: "Learning to walk on crutches in the future has no apparent connection with planing wood in fashioning a doll house, but 'muscular education' of 9-year-old Nadine Ropbbins requires strengthened arms and shoulders. Under watchful eyes of professional occupational therapists, like Mrs. Harriet Kaufman, Nadine learns this art of carpentry while resting on her stomach. Her best 'books of learning' are the planes, hammers, and saws." |
