and nearly all of them will have COM
pleted work for vocational and oc-
cupational rehabilitation by the sum-
mer of 1923. By far the majority of
the men to be rehabilitated will have
finished their retraining within a
year or two years, some of them hi
less than six months, and will be back
on their feet in that time in profess
sional and industrial ranks.
So far no provision has been made
by congress for rehabilitating men
whose disabilities do not amount to a
vocational or occupational handicap.
1t is believed possible here by those
best informed on reconstruction leg
islation that congress may yet be
asked to provide some means of COM
pensatory training. as well as the
compensation they already paid
through the war risk bureau to men
who have simply suffered physical
disabilities, without economic loss to
them, in their country's service. To
carry out such a program, it is esti-
tmated the federal government would
have to expend upwards of a half
billion dollars. 20

UNCLE SAM TAKING GREAT PAINS TO PUT

More Liberal Law Needed to Come up Provisions

WASHINGTON, ID. C.--Working to
OVERCOME the handicaps of men in

ment is making giant strides to place
the vocationally disabled soldier back
in the economic ranks of the country.

men and to earn an Independent in
come for himself. The plan of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
tional Education, which has this
work in hand. is a broad one, and
though no actual figures are yet avail
able 1t is likely that as many as 50,-
600 men who served in the war will
have to be re-educated either voca-
tionally or occupationally.
Under this plan the federal board
is now working on what is practically
a four-year program though appro-
priations so far have been made only
up to July 1890. In another month,
it is promised 1900 men will be ap-
proved to go into Immediate training
with the opening for the fall terms of
the professional and technical schools
of the country. The forty or fifty
thousand men disabled in the service
of the country, will all be placed in
training for various lines of activity

! the sailors and marines, 1t is possible
that not more than 20 per cent of the
men disabled. or something less than
1000 men will be eligible for voca-
tional and industrial rehabilitation.
To keep within the written law II is
necessary that certain evidence be
gathered from the military records
and that the men to be approved be
physically examined. The board Is
making the most liberal possible in
depreciation of all cases coming be-
fore 1t In many cases that do not
actually come within the law, but
where the board believes something
ought to be done, 1t has used special
funds given it by patriotic organiza-
tions. A large revolving fund given
by the Elks fraternal organization has
been largely used in ministering to
such cases.
central case board has been es-
tablished here to finally approve all
cases sent in by district boards. This
system is necessary because the
board operating under a budget sys-
tenn of expense from congress. This
board reviews on an average of l.
900 cases a day. The majority of
these have to be rejected, though If
any more liberal laws should be pass
ed by congress in the future these
cases would be re-opened and it is
supposed the majority of them
would then be approved. The docu-
ments and evidence in the case, of
course, are carefully preserved, so
that the expense of securing them
again will be minimized
Should a more liberal law be passed
opening up possibilities for training
for such group of men it is now es-
timated it would take at least $780,
900. 900 to pay the support, tuition
and text book cost alone. Further
provision would have to be made for
travelling expenses of the men, medi-
cal attention and mechanical appli-
ances for equipment and adlninistra-
ton of the broader law. At present
the board is paying the tuition. trav-
cling expenses, text book cost and
other, special expenses for the men
it approves, in addition to paying
500 to men with dependents and $50
a month to men without dependents
and family allowances to the former
class.
The work of the board in reviewing |
an application for re-training consists |
in finding out the legitimacy of the |
claim, the particular manner in which |
tse disability handicaps him, the vo-
cation or occupation he has formerly |
followed, and then it decides with him |
on what would be the best lines of |
warned the men still in service that |
new work to follow based on his par
ticular aptitude. his wishes what he
is able to do with his new disabilities
and the remunerative promise of the
classes of work open to him. But in
doing this it runs into many obstacles
such as missing discharge papers and
lot medical records that would show
he disa ability originated in service
rhe board mnst have the man exam
ned to find out the character of the
disability and many of the men are
hard to get into touch with after dis
,harge.
There are other difficulties that |
arise, but on the whole the coopera-
ion between the board and the men
