Recommended by Superintendent
Daley to the board of trustees at its
recent annual meeting, an Empire
electric milking machine, with motor
power attachment, was installed about
three weeks ago at the Home dairy.
The complete outfit consists of one
vacuum pump, one storage tank, fit
tings to connect tank to pump, one
vacuum gauge, one relief valve, mixer
units, ten stall cocks with each dou-
BILE unit. and five with each single unit.
This machine is a great labor saving

milk bucket with four teat cups are

gallons. with fifty pounds capacity.
About 135 gallons of milk are pro-

farmer boy who wants to return to the
duced to take up this kind of work."
says James p. Munroe, vice-chairman
of the board. Industries, large and
small, must make a careful inventory
to see where and how they can use
properly trained disabled men in real
man-sized jobs. Merchants must reck-
on how far il is safe for them to use,
in selling, buying and accounting men
with this or that physical handicap.
And especially must those professions
and those occupations which are large
ly administrative in character make
up their minds to give every proper
chance to these disabled men who,
thru education previously received, are
competent to take intellectual respon-
sibilities."
All this, of course. is to be done
with due consideration for the employ
er and his business, as well as for the
interests of the man himself. No EN-
ployer will be asked to take man
into his plant who is not able, or can
not be made able. to perform efficiently
the duties of the job to which he has
been assigned.
To facilitate this important work
and the government, the federal board
is endeavoring to give to the em-
ployers of the country as much infor-
nation as possible concerning the
necessary steps to get the disabled
men out of the hospital and into the
workshop and factory. 1t has sought
to make clear that training in the
whole range of the skilled trades is
available to such disabled men. and
that the courses offered them are de-
signed to make 100 per cent use of
the capacities that remain to them.
All the instruction given is in we'll
recognized. standard occupations,
where thereis steady and well-paid
employment.
Therefore, it will be easily possible
for every grade of employer to draw
heavily upon this reserve industrial
force, with good results both to HIM
self and to the man employed. The
federal board asks that all employers
make careful estimate of their indi-
vidual need of helpers in plant and
workshop, and communicate such needs
to the placement officers of the board.
These placement experts, on the other
hand. will keep employers supplied
with lists of men available for such
jobs as need to be filed. Upon rep
resentation by an employer of his
need of special kind of workman.
the placement officers will make n
study Of his available candidates, and
from such candidates will select n
man, who has been trained in this
special line of work. Any suggestions
made by the employers as to the de-
sirability of other or additional train
ing will be carefully needed by the
board.
