Nearly six months elapsed after the
passage Of the rehabilitation act before
h agents OF the federal board were
admitted TO the military and naval hos
pitals. This exclusion was a necessary
wal measure; but during this period
as well as during the IL months which
elapsed between our entering the war
and June q, 1918, when the act became
law, thousands OF disabled men were
discharged and were scattered al over
the United states without any knowl-
edge Of their rights under the law. Al.
together, more than a year and a half
Of precious time was lost
Under the terms Of the rehahilitA.
ton act the FEDERAL board could put no
disabled man in training until after he
was declared comaansable by the war
risk insurance bureau. The amendment
curing this difficulty and allowing
prompt action by the federal board did
not become Law till July IL, 1919.
THE board has made excellent prog
ress, for on Aug. I. II had established
contact with 10000 OF the 100. 900 men
registered, had surveyed nearly los. 900
and had approved over IL, 600 cases for
training and had put 1872 men in
training.
Those men. as Of July 2e. were In
449 public and private secondary
schools, in 1859 institutions OF college

plants, They are being trained for 1868

ing existing mean OF training rather
than creating new schools for reha-
Utilization, the men are being better
trained and millions OF dollars have been
saved TO the United states. Since legis-
lation giving the board a free hand did
not pass until July, when most schools
and colleges are closed, the full measure
Of training activity cannot be reached
until the latter part OF September. At
