UNCLE SANS
DISABLED
World War Veterans To Get
Vocational Training

shington.- The new law recent
~ passed by congress provides for The
promotion of vocational rehabilitation
of persons disabled in industry or
otherwise and their return to civil
employment. There is appropriated
S75o.000 for the fiscal year ending
june so, 92f. and ST 100000 annually
for the next three fiscal years This
money win be divided among the
states in The proportion which their
population bears to the total popula-
ton Of the United States when such
states match the federal money to be
appropriated by an equal amount of
state or local money State boards
for vocational education will do the
actual work of seeking out the injured
and placing them where they may
learn new vocations. The federal
board for vocational education at
Washington will act as a supervisory
and advisory body, and will deal di
rectly with the state boards.
Disabled world war veterans who
elect to take vocational training are
wards of the federal government which
assumes direct responsibility for their
rehabilitation and pays them a month
ly allowance during training. The in
dividual injured in industry comes
under the jurisdiction Of the state and
the responsibility for his training and
placement devolves upon state board
for vocational education.
1t has been estimated that between
100000 and 100000 workers are in
iured each year, and that approx
mately 100000 Of this number need
training for new occupations.
