WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS
Some Things the Federal Board for
Vocational Education Can Do and
Some Things it Can Not Do

Washington, Sent. 15.-The voca-
tional rehabilitation law was amended
by Congress on July II. Under the
law as it now stands the federal board
for vocational education, the agency
changed with it's administration, is
not free lance, as apparently many
would have it be. but must work with
i'm the limits of the law. 1t may be
interesting to note some of the duties
and limitations of the board in it's
dealings with disabled soldiers. The
federal board can:
Provide training for men whose
disabilities due to service prohibit
their return to the old jobs.
Provide maintenance for such men
while in training.
Provide allowances for families of
men in training under Section of
the act.
Provide free tuition for men whose
disabilities do not constitute a voca-
tional handicap but who desire train
ing for improvement.
Certify disabled men who are other
wise eligible for civil service posi-
tlOnS.
Provide equipment-as books. tools
ETC., for men in training.
The federal board cannot:
Provide support for all disabled
men.
Provide training for all disabled
men.
Provide training for men whose
whose disabilities do not prohibit a re-
turn to their former occupations, un-
less they have been awarded compen.
sation under the bureau of war risk.
Provide maintenance during train.
ing for men whose disabilities due tc
service do not prevent their return tC
the old job.
Provide allowances for the families
of men in training under Section 8 OF
the act.
Provide support for disabled mer
eligible for training Immediately OF
discharge from the service.

last nights meeting.
Redistribution Work.
Although the board Of education will
be asked to set the minimum wage for
school teachers in its estimates for 1920

no way interfere with any recommended

such basic wage scale as approved by
the board would merely insure to the
teachers a wage scale based on the
purchasing power Of the dollar.

salary is $780, Officials of the High
School Teachers Union believe that a
basic raise OF $500 Is necessary.
