Show What Is Meant By Rehabilitation? What is meant by Natural Rehabilitation Re-habilitation ? Improvement in public pub-lic property through protection, replacement, re-placement, and expansion. This is rehabilitation. In the work of the CCC, improvement is sought through work on forests, soil, streams, bodies of water, wild life, national parks, other state property, prop-erty, national and state monuments, monu-ments, and other miscellaneous public properties. What is meant by Human Rehabilitation? Re-habilitation? To understand this, you must first keep in mind the different groups of men enrolled in the CCC. Their primary human needs are food, clothing, and shelter. There are secondary needs such as health, morals or good mental attitudes, education for work and spare time, recreation, and family life. None of these can be met in idleness and despair. They must be met by work and by pleasant, healthful living condi-j condi-j tions generally. The CCC attempts at-tempts to assist the individual young men, temporarily, to get ! at least some of the normal hu-I hu-I man needs. Note this quotation from an official of-ficial statement issued from the CCC Director's office: "Work in the forests and related conservation conser-vation work was decided upon . . . because it offered unusual oppcr-j oppcr-j tunities for men from all walks in life to take a fresh start in a healthful occupation in the open." Anything, then, is human rehabilitation re-habilitation if it helps meet the essential needs of young men as human (beings worK, wholesome social conditions, healthful living conditions, recreation, education, preparation for a job, and many others. These are means to an end "Life, liberty, and the pursuit pur-suit of happiness." |
