for crippled and disabled persons, will
be materially diminished. As the work
of vocational rehabilitation develops in
the states, the cropping creature labeled

will gradually disappear from eur city
streets. In the future, if the intent

such training as they may need to es-
tablsh them in some occupation as
self supporting and happy workers.
