Education of Disabled Soldiers.

Education of Disabled Soldiers.
'The Desirability of Vocational Edu-
cation and Direction for Disabled Sol
diers'' is the title of a new bulletin by
Miss Elizabeth Upham, Milwaukee
Downer college, which has just been
issued by the University of Wisconsin
extension division.
The Importance of the problem OF
the disabled soldier is emphasized in
the pamphlet by the citation of exam
pies which show the mistakes made
by other warning nations in allowing
their disabled soldiers to idle away
their time and become burden to the
nation as well as dull and dissatisfied.
Numerous occupations into which
disabled soldiers may be educated or
re-educated are pointed out. More i'm
portant than the problems of dealing
with those who have lost arms, legs
and eyesight, according to the author.
is the problem of handling those who
have contracted tuberculosis, heart
trouble, or nervous breakdowns in the
war
The mental outlook of these pa
tients is hard to combat, and work
shops and vocational schools are
strongly advocated in connection with
hospitals in which such men are con-
valescing.
The fact that the United States has
time to prepare for taking care of dis
abled soldiers and helping them to be
of economic value to the country in
stead OF a drain on 1t is emphasized.

rs PASSENGERS
TO RIDE IN AEROS
BUILT FOR ITALY

NEWPORT, r l., Sept. 2.-'Italy
now IL constructing airplanes capable
OF carrying twenty-five passengers
and Il able to build machines carrying
fifty. She will be glad to supply q
number Of these air cruisers to the
United States Government or to any
group OF patriotic Americans who
would demonstrate the possibility OF
delivering airplanes by flying them
across the Atlantic"
This statement was made by Major
r. Perfetti OF the Royal italian aero
nautic mission In the United States,
before a large audience here. He
continued:
The worlds greatest authorities
now believe that the war is to be
decided In the air. Until recently the
one difficult problem before the allies
was to find q means of eliminating
the U-boat menace. Whenever plans
have been considered for building tens
OF thousands of airplanes with which
to strike Germany through the air,
the difficulty OF shipping the ma
chimes has presented itself. 1t would
take most of the tonnage available to

"a solution of this problem IL at
hand. The plan may be tested for a
few hundred thousand dollars, though
l hope Americans will set aside not
less than 5000. 900 to further the pro-
ject Build these aerial cruisers in
America, send them by air line, and
destroy the German bases"
Major Perfetti described the new
machines, the italian Caproni tri-
planes, which have been conducting
successful operations against the Aus
TRAN bases. The greatest air raid
ever attempted was won by Italy q
few days ago when 232 aIrplanes,
most Of them of q smaller type, storm
ed an enemy base. Only the lack of
raw materials such as the United
States is able to supply prevents Italy
from developing fleets of huge air
planes, said Major PerfettL
