Vocational Training of
-
Disabled Men

The United States Government
Under cooperative arrangement with
the Benevolent and Protective Order
OF Elks, as authorized by act of Con.
gress, has embarked on a program Of
vocational education which is intended
to vocationally train or re-educate
every one of its disabled soldiers,
sailors and marines without expense
to these war heroes.
1t has been found that no matter
what physical disability a man may
have suffered, he can be so trained or
re-educated as to overcome the handi-
cap and enjoy the same or greater
earning capacity he had before being
wounded. There are more than 500
vocations open to these disabled men,
and nearly 300 educational institutions
of all kinds-technical commercial,
agricultural and trade institutions
throughout the country have opened
their doors to the work. All expenses
for books, tuition and living, with
allowances to dependents, are provided.
When the work of putting this voca
tional education law into effect was
begun, it was found that it would be
necessary to interest some private
agency to make it complete success.
This was because the cases of hundreds
of wounded men were still pending
before the War Risk Insurance Board
and the men themselves were without
money to meet living expenses while
in vocational training. There were also
hundreds disabled before the law went
into effect or for various technical
reasons were outside its provisions. In
addition to these were the cases of
United States citizens who fought in
the armies of the Allies and were
wounded, while the law provides only
for those wounded while fighting with
the American forces.
Thus there are many thousands of
disabled American soldiers, sailors and
marines to be vocationalIy trained who
must be provided for either temporarily
or throughout this period of training,
by some private agency. The law itself
makes provision for cooperative ar
rangement of this kind. The Federal
Board for Vocational Education, in
charge of this work, has selected the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, working through the Elks War
Relief Commission, for this cooperative
assistance. Former Governor John X.
Tener, of Pennsylvania, is the head of
the Elks War Relief Commission.
Every Elks lodge throughout the
has been instructed to appoint
a special committee to be known as
the Soldiers Friend Committee, to
assist in this work. Its members are
to cooperate with the near
est District Office of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education, of which
there are fourteen throughout the
country, and with the Home Service
Section of the American Red Cross.
Every wounded hero of the war is to
be personally seen and urged to atonce
take advantage of this offer of free
vocational education. Its importance,
not only to disabled men themselves
and members of their immediate
families, and no less to the nation
Itself, is at once apparent.

odge No. 84S is composed of Clarence
Il. Polhemus, chairman; Albert b. |

John WooIman's Sbon

and Some Items of Local History
Students of local history are deeply
interested in the Identification of the
house No. AZ Mill street, now occupied
by Henry Rosenfeld as residence, as
at one time belonging to Mount Holly's
most famous citizen, John Woolman.
The discovery was made by John w.
Harris, while he was at work locating
the titles of the Murrell Dobbins prop
critics, on Mill street, ,for the Dobbins
estate Woolman purchased it from
John Ogburn February 4, 1747. He
decided it to his mother, Elizabeth
Woolman, Marcn 16, 1853. Upon the
death of Mrs Woolman the property
passed by will to her daughter Rachel.
who sold it to Samuel Lewis, by deed
dated March %, 1895.
There are some interesting items in
this connection in the will of Elizabeth
Woolman, widow of Samuel, and the
mother of John, whom she survived.

New street was the early name of
Brainard street. Many OF the old
deeds show that owners of land 'front.'
ing on Mill street held title all the way
through to the other street, and it was
not until the town began to build up,
many years later, and houses were
erected on the south side of New
street, that the Mill street residents
sold the north ends of their holdings,
and Buttonwood run was made
natural dividing line. Elizabeth Wool
mans lot on New street was probably
the continuation of her Mill street
holding.
In John Woolman's private account
book are found records which show
that William Calvert had been paying
rent for shop to John Woolman.
From the 21st, 7th mo-, ITO, VIM.
Calvert by agreement, to pay IL per
quarter for the shop" When John
Woolman made ready to sail for Eng
land, in 1772, he settled all the ac-
counts he had as far as possible, and
his son in-law had the settlement of
the remainder. The following is also
found;
ITO the remainder of lease for the
shop on mothers lot, which expires
the 9Th, 9th mo-, 1776, for which thou
agreed to pay me ten pounds" This
account is with VIM Calvert.

Another interesting discovery by
Mr.. Harris is that a meeting house
was situated on plot of ground in
the rear Of the Schmidt baker,
property, about seventy feet north of
Mill street. In deed from Peter
Shiras to Joseph Cooper. dated May 26,
1904, it is recited that said Shiras pur.
chased of Joseph Mullen, sheriff, on
December /, 1888, "a messuage lot of
land situate in Mountholly aforesaid,
on the north side of Mill street, being
formerly the. little meeting house Of
the Society of the people called
Quakers. The plot of ground on
which this building stood was 2Sx4O
feet. A twelve foot. alley, which is
still open, ran from Mill street. This
was known as Little meeting house
alley. 1t is safe to believe that John
Woolman frequently worshipped in
this little structure in the rear OF his
shop, and he may have been a lead
ing spirit in its erection.
The first Friends meeting house for
Mount Holly worshippers was erected
on WOODLAND in 1716. In Burlington
