WASHINGTON, May 29-Business
men of Canton, Ohio, are inspecting
the schools of that city and will press
bond issue for new school houses as
result of a meeting of the Rotary
Club, addressed by Leslie Willis
Sprague. staff speaker for the Infor-
nation and Education Service, Depart
ment of Labor, at which first-hand in
formation was brought out regarding
the condition of the city's schools.
Mr.. Sprague has been speaking in
the interest Of the building campaign
conducted by the Department Of Labor
as a means to stabilize business dur
ing the readjustmcn1 period. After his
address before the Rotarians the super
ntendent of schools informed the as
semblage that there are in the high
chool 800 children in building erected
for fifty and once condemned as un-
safe He also said that 500 children are
on half time, and that each room has
forty pupils.
The Rotarians are doing everything
possible to raise a combination bond
issue to provide new school buildings
and also a new water system. At least
100000 will be expended on the
water system and the commissioners
believe that the amount should be
$4,000, 900.

Disabled Soldiers Hesitate
To Accept Free Training

WASHINGTON, May 29--One of the
difficulties the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education has encountered in it's
work of reeducation is that of convinc-
ing disabled men of the generous aid
offered by the government That all
expenses of retraining are paid, and in
addition the needs of wife and children
supplied; that this is not considered a
loan, but the payment Of a just debt,
and that their only obligation is to
make good and useful citizens of them
selves, seems too good to be true. But
when the disabled soldier realizes that
he is the benehciary-not of public
charity, but of national gratitude, he
accepts the proffered offer Of refrain
ing with good grace.
Already 81,741 men have registered
with the board, the vocational advisers
have made contact with 52,367 of
these and 2,079 have started their train
ing. OF the 4,376 cases approved for
training by the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education more than 1900
have been approved for trade and in
dustrial training, 846 for agricultural,
more than 1900 for commercial and
business courses and about $50 for pro-
fessional courses. Three hundred and
ninetytwo are taking academic train
ing and ninety-nine are studying in

Explaining the cut of 1Oe, 900 en-

Inmates submitted by the War Depart
ment, the report said:
The work of rehabilitation is pro-
crossing somewhat faster than was an

felt warranted in appropriating for an

600 enlisted men and 22,l49 officers for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1920
THE bill is an appropriation, pure
and simple. 1t carries practically no
new legislation The committee felt
that it was most important to have the
Dill enacted into law before July l.
New Legislation Avoided
thousands of men are being de-
modified every day and granted their
discharges. Upon leaving the army
they are entitled to their final pay and
transportation. There will be no money
available for this purpose after June
30, 1919, unless this bill is speedily
enacted into law. For this reason the
committee tried to avoid the insertion
of such propositions as might be con-
strued as debating the future policy
of Congress with respect to the mill
tary establishment
1T is the intention of the committee
to take up an army organization bill
later on in the session.
THE committee felt, at this time.
1t would be justified in cutting the
estimates to a point that prudence and
safety warrant. During our active
participation in the war, Congress
voted appropriations unstntingly for
the use of the chief executive and the
War Department in putting our coun-
try in a position in which our partici
patton in the conflict should be power
fully effective, with the hope of bring
ing speedy termination to the
struggle. Happily, through the liberal
ity of Congress, these ends were
quickly attained. We are now return
ing to a time basis. We feel
that the taxpayers Of the country will
be called upon to carry the great bur
den of indebtedness that the war en-
tailed for many years to come. They
will have heavy load to bear at best.
The committee felt that it should make
every effort to make that load as light
as possible without detriment to our
military establishment.

War Department Prohibited
From Buying Real Estate

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Stripped of
all legislation that might lead to con-
troversy in either house, the army APP
preparation bill, reducing the average
strength Of the army to 100000 men for
the next fiscal year, was reported to
the House to-day by Representative
julius Kahn, chairman of the Military
Affairs Committee
The bill must be passed before June
30. II it is not, no funds will be avail
able to give final pay and transporta-
ton to men discharged from the army
after that date. An attempt will be
made to press the bill to passage in the
House early next week and similar eff
forts will be made in the Senate when
the measure reaches that body
Chairman Kahn explained to-day it
would be impracticable to pass a con-
tinuing resolution because of the enor-
nous size of the appropriations in the
last army bill On the other hand. it
would not. be practicable to continue the
appropriations of the 1917 bill, for the
expenditures authorized by that bill
would be insufficient to meet present
needs.
Total Is Reduced
The bill reported to-day carries total
appropriations of $500, l97 900, as com
pared with appropriations of $1,117,-
2S9,488 carried in the bill as it was
passed by the House in the closing
days of the last session. The commit
tee found it impossible to hold the
bill down to s75o,OOO,oOO, the figure
desired by the House steering commit
tee. The one legislative feature of
importance included in the bill is a
provision ordering that no money ap-
propriated by the bill and none of the
unexpended balances of appropriations
made in the previous measures shall
be used for the purchase of real estate
This effectively blocks the War De-
partment's plan for the establishment
of three permanent artillery and in
fantry training schools in Georgia
Kentucky and Oklahoma. The commit
tee felt that since no permanent mill
tary policy was defined by the bill the
War Department should not at this
time be empowered to purchase real
estate for permanent military stations
