HUGE DEFICIT FACED.

Applications for training under the
Federal Board for Vocational Education
have been increasing at such pace.
according to a statement of the board
there is likely to be deficit in the
boards current appropriations of
$97,6551S4 4
The rehabilitation appropriation for
the fiscal year of 1922 was $65, 900, 900.
but this figure was based upon the
assumption that there would be no
increase in enrolment during the
year. The unprecedented recent in
crease has shattered that assumption
however. The estimated cost per man
in section 2 training is computed at
$3.50 per month; for section 3 trainees,
S35 per month. This. plus the over
head cost, which by July l had been
reduced to approximately per cent
of the total expense. would swell the
needs Of the board for the current
twelve months to $162,655,184.
