FEARS RETURNING SOLDIERS X
MAY BE SPOILED
(By Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.--"Don't spoil
the boys when they come back" was
TIE plea Of Russell G. Lowell. Of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educs-
ton, when he spoke here recently.
Mr.. Lowell said he thought that
some Of those who had been msimed
in'the war were spoiled for tho futurs
by being feted too much and adored
as heroes when they reached their
own home towns. He cited several
cases where young men had practioal-
ly refused to undertake to learn new
trades after being untitled by their
wounds for continuing at their old
trades, because. they, said. they did
not need to work now.
After time. Mr.. Lowell declared.
a man tires OF such idleness and false
honor. and he either becomes mem
tally sick and respondent or gets
quite crooked In his methods and be.
gins preying upon people instead Of
trying to earn living.
Mr.. Lowell stated that one of the
chief difficulties the federal education
oil system is encountering is that Of
getting hold Of the manned men when
they have returned to this country.
They filter back to their own dis
tricts, and. unless promptly taught to
start life anew are apt to reach
mental stage where 1t is difficult to
get them to overcome the real diff
culties which exist In the re-education
in trades.
