DISABLED MEN TO BE
AIDED BY GOVERNMENT
Uncle Sam Makes Plans For Educat-
ing Soldiers so as to Make
Them Independent

Any disabled soldier who has Sc
cured compensation from the govern
ment, has the right to apply for voca-
tlonal training. Our country will
equip him to handle his old job, or
new one if he prefers. Such training
has begun when he was in the hospi-
tai. After the soldier is discharged,
the Federal Board for Vocational
Training will help him choose the
work he wants to follow. A course of
training is then outlined, covering
from several months to four years.,
Deaf soldiers will be given a prelim-
mary course in lip reading Men with
artificial limbs will be taught to use
them and become skilled in various
trades. So with the blind Those who
have had high school or college train
ing will be able to take more advanc-
ed work, law for instance A soldier
with some special talent will be
taught to make use of it.
Men taking vocational training are
no longer members of the army. The
Federal Board for group of states
- made up of civilians, and the teach
ing is done in approved schools and
shops. But the discharged soldier
continues to receive government pay.
This, including his compensation,
will ordinarily be IS per cent
month. If he has family dependent
on him, $40 more will be given, in
addition to the former government
allowance. Tuition fees and travel
ing expenses are met by the govern
ment.
The Vocational Board will find
work for man after his training is
completed. They will also try to place
discharged men who do not wish
training, in work which they can do
in spite of their disability. But the
chance for government training is too
good for any soldier to miss. Present
high wages are a temptation to the
returning soldier. But when wages
go down, the disabled man would be
unable to compete with other work.
men. Thru vocational training he
has the chance to overcome his handi-
cap, and greatly increase his earn
ing power.
