TO DOUBLE NUMBER
RECEIVING TRAINING

Washington, Aug. 3O.-Plans to
more than double the number OF dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines
receiving rehabilitation training
were announced today by the Federal
Board Of vocational education. The
increase will be made at the fall op-
ening of schools and colleges. More
than seven thousand men now are
receiving training.
"There have been delays in carry.
ing out the work Of vocational rehab.
ilitation" said the boards statement
"but most Of them have been due to
causes which were beyond the control
Of the board ana Which 1t has madS
unceasing effort to remove.
Nearly six months elapsed after
the passage Of the Rehabilitation Act
before the agents of the Federal
Board were admitted to the military
and naval hospitals. This exclusion
was a necessary war measure; but
during this period, as well as during
the fourteen months which elapsed
between our entering the war and
June 27, 1918, when the Act became
law, thousands of disabled men were
discharged and were scattered all
over the United States without any
knowledge of their rights under the
Ilaw. Altogether, more than year
and a half of precious time was lost.
Under the terms Of the Rehabilita-
tion Act the Federal Board could put
no disabled man in training until
after he was declared compensate by
the War Risk Insurance Bureau. The
amendment curing this difficulty and
allowing prompt action by the Fed
eral Board did not become law till
July IL, 1919.
"The Board has made excellent pro-
gress, for on August /, it had estab-
llished contact with 10000 Of the $780,.
900 men registered, had surveyed
nearly 100000 and had approved
over 10000 cases of training and had
put 1892 men In training.
"Those men, as of July 26, were In
449 public and private secondary
schools, in 159 institutions OF college
grade and In 1868 industrial and other
lplants. They are being trained for
1863 different lines of activity and,
by utilizing existing means of train
ing rather than creating new schools
for rehabilitation, the men are being
better trained and millions OF dollars
have been saved to the United States.
Since legislation giving the board q
free hand did not past until July,
when most schools and colleges are
closed, the full measure OF training
activity cannot be heached until the
latter part of September. At that
time the present number in training
y will be much more than doubled"
