Mississippi Veteran
Has New Disability

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-There
are as many disabilities among the
cases applying to the Federal Board
for Vocational Education for refrain
ing as there are sands in the sea,
Here is a new and unique one from
Mississippi, big, khaki-clad negro.
He stood twirling his cap and smiling
broadly at the boards agent.
"Yas SIR" he was saying, "I'se
from Mississippi, and aluas has liv-
ed right thar on the farm and worked
since l members anything"
"Farming?" said the agent. "Grew
cotton, suppose"
A look of surprise came across the
smiling face. "Cose, Captain. Don't
everybody down South?"
The agent looked at the big negro.
He thought that if it were left to him
to judge he would put him up for a
fairly good physical specimen, but
then there are lots of internal dis
eases which do not always show. He
had better find out
Jesse, what is the nature of your
disability?'
1.-The boil weevil, sah," Jesse an
swered promptly.
Now the boil weevil disability is a
bad one for cotton, but it does not
happen to come under the jurisdiction
of the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. After finding out that
this was the only disability that Jesse
had, the board told him that it could
not help him.

Suggestions From Commissioner.
Books listed in the various reading
courses may be purchased from pub
fishers or borrowed from Libraries.
The Bureau of Education does not
furnish or lend books. In referring
to the courses of the home reading
circle, the Commissioner of Educa-
ton says: Read first for pleasure,
look up necessary references, and
make brief notes sufficient to be able
to make a summary later.
"You will find it helpful to form q
reading circle by asking others in
your community to take the course.
Members of the circle may then talk
the books over together"
Readers may take one or more
courses. They are required to read
Course | twice during the three years
succeeding enrolment. Any other
courses are to be read but once. No
reading done previous to the date of
enrolment will be considered ade-
quate. A certificate will be given for
each course completed"
Advise the Home Education Divis.
ion of which Miss Ellen c. Lombard
is director, when each book is begun
and when it is completed.
Programs of each course, giving de
tailed information and list of books
included in the course, will be sent
upon application to the Home Educa-
ton Division, Bureau of Education.
