CARE FOR DISABLED.
Government to Look Out for

Arrangements Made to Provide Woes
tional Training for All
Soldiers.

Observation-Disclosures Sam is going to
do more for his disabled soldiers and
seamen than any nation ever tud, and
the arrangements to care for the nearly
two hundred thousand men disabled
in battle or through disease or acct.
dent in camp are near completion.
When this army returns there will be
no need for public charity which might
mar self-respect.
4 The federal board of vocational edu-
cation, operating under the vocational
rehabilitation act, will restore health,
and in the case of permanent injury
teach trades that may be followed.
During the process the pupils living
will be paid, he will receive a wage
and in addition his dependents will be
paid an allowance.
But it is for the decision Of the sol.
'dier or seaman and his relatives
whether he elects to take the course.
When the course is completed the
board will obtain suitable employment
and keep an eye on the man SO that
his interests may be guarded. The
status Of the man during the period
of training is described as follows:
''The amount of monthly compensa.
ton paid will be equal to the sum to
which he is entitled under the war
insurance act, or sum equal to the
pay of his last month in the service,
which ever is the greater; but in no
case will single man or man living
apart from his dependents receive less
than $65 per month, inclusive of the
sum paid dependents, and man llv'
ing with his dependents receive less
than SIS per month inclusive of the
sum paid to the dependents.
'The man whose disability does not
prevent him from returning to employ
ment without training will be givet
the course Of vocational training
which he chooses.
"The taking of the course of train.
Ing or the actual earning power Of the
man will not in any way affect his
compensation. Upon completion OF
his course he will continue to receive
the compensation prescribed by the
war risk insurance and as long as his
disability continues"
Men in service or their relatives
should make inquiries at once. They
may address communications to thu
federal board Of vocational educa
ton, Washington, D. c., or to any Of
the IA district Offices located through
out the country.

CALLSATTENTI0N1O
BEAUTY OF N. OAK.

Some time ago Miss Paula NJ. Kit
tel of the department of Languages
gave short talk in chapel in whRh
she attacked the charge made naw
and then that the prairies are lacking
in elements of beauty. We may infer
from her remarks below that inability
to appreciate beauty in things at eur
very doors is quite as much snbiee-
tive as objective:
"In the charming fairy legend, "TAs
Threefold Destiny" Nathaniel Hss-
thorne sets forth the truth that we
often fail to see the beauty of Gzr
environment, fail to make use Of ual
opportunities, and so long to search in
a far country for the wealth, haurl-
ness, and beauty which may be wait
ing for us at our very doorstep I
wish to bring that thought to you 1e-
day.
"When we read the poets, these
great interpreters of the best
thoughts of all time, we find that they
were inspired, not by money and ths
things money can buy, not even BY
power and authority, but by those
things which are the birthright Of
everyone: faith, hope, charity, low
purity, beauty. Nature in all her
moods and manifestations has been &

poets.
