CALIFORNIA URGES AWARD
 FOR BOYS WHO PUT OUT FIRES

That Uncle Sam should confer hon. orary awards on schoolboys and boy scouts who save timber lands by put ting out small forest fires is the gist of recommendation received by the District Forester here from Howard P. Bartram, of St. Helena, California. Mir. Bartram's proposal, which is be- ing seriously considered by the U. S. Forest Service, is as follows:
 "Sir: In these days of conservat- ion, when the same old tragedies of forest fires are repeated year in and year out in the same old way, would it not be we'll for either the State Fish and Game Commission or the Forest Service to offer a really worthwhile service medal, or service stripes, (and so stimulate competition among the rural schools) to the dis trict whose boys most effectively sub- due or prevent these destructive forces? From Maine to California It's the same old tragic story-lack Of prompt intelligent action and a gen. eral don't-give-a-hang attitude of criminal indifference. Even as I write, fire is merrily at work across the valley, incidentally licking up some real timber, which, if we are patient, will again sprout as forest some hundred years hence. Shakespeare hit the nail on the head when he said, "A little fire is quickly trodden out, which being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench." Twelve hours per year of instruction in practical methods of fire fighting should be given to the older boys. This is usually a boy scouts job, but the latter are not al- ways everywhere to be found. There's no fool like an old fool, and we, as Americans, are old, old fools along these lines"

Santa Fe interests, represented by Meredith Jones, have been investigat- ing the traffic possibilities of north western Arizona, with an idea of ex- tension of the roads Chloride branch through to White Hills or even to a crossing of the Colorado river, to tap the great rock salt deposits of the Virgin river valley. Also available by such an extension could be made immense areas of well timbered land, as well as copper mines now without transportation.

serve as instructors in this country Also, and this will probably increase disabled men are being engaged as in structors whenever available.
 Some disabled men are being re. educated in private institutions, suct as business colleges and automobile schools, but as both of these lines arc being taken up in connection with the classes in the hospitals, it is not prob. able that many will be trained in this way. Numerous offers are also being received to train men in private work shops. In France, this plan was tried somewhat extensively, the men being given an allowance to enable them to live at home. Apparently the plan did not work well for several reasons, amongst them being that no guaran- tee was given that real instruction would be afforded the pupil; neither was the position of the disabled al- ways satisfactory in relation to the unwounded workman.
 We are now endeavoring in Canada to carry out a plan whereby partially disabled men will be received into pri- vate industrial establishments for vo- cational re-education. Amongst other First, the fact that only limited va-
 
 riety of occupations can be taught ir schools; and, second, that in very few cases is it possible to give training in school workshops on commercial lines.
 As regards the first point, although nearly four hundred different occupa- tion were represented amongst men who had returned to Canada, it was found that of the first five hun dred cases undergoing re-education only thirty-nine occupations were in cluded. Further, of the five hundred, eighty per cent were in about dozen occupations, largely, it seemed, be- cause training in them was available or easily provided in hospital schools or existing technical institutions.
 As to the second point, that school or institutional training is very sell dom on commercial lines, this was felt to be serious drawback. Thomas B. Kidner in American Industries for De- cember.

hhcs Sdh pe gwen IneTe. The expe- rience of France seems to be in favor of what might be termed "boarding schools" where the men live in the in- stitution where they are being train ed. But Provinces and municipalities throughout Canada have offered the facilities afforded by their Technical Colleges and Schools and also their institution for training in agriculture, for the purpose of training disabled men, and advantage is being taken of them. One thing is clear, however, and that is that the ordinary curric- ulum and timetable will not suit; nei- ther should the disabled men be plac- ed in regular classes. Therefore, where men are being trained in mu- nicipal and other institutions, it is ar ranged whenever possible, to form special groups, limited in number un- der special teacher.
 The finding of suitable instructors has been and still is one of the diff
 cult problems of the work. Canada, as a whole, had not been considering very seriously the question of voca- tional and industrial training and our supply of skilled instructors was all too short before the war. But quite a number of these men have gone overseas, and it has been found neces- sary, in several instances, to take them from the combatant ranks to
