His choice of an occupation is ap-
proved. unless, after careful investi-
cation. sound opinion shows it to be
in the end not advisable: he is trained
to meet the needs of the occupation

available instruction.: he is assisted in
securing desirable permanent employ

employment is satisfactory.
Variety in Methods of Training.
Training is given in a variety Of
ways. The federal board utilizes the
best educational institutions of the
country-the special schools for the
education of the blind. dea. md Grip
pied. and the best technical. agricuI-
.ural. academic and vocational
schools and colleges. If disabled

In every case. however. the federal
board requires the instruction be
adapted to the interest and needs Of
the disabled man. to be definitely
planned for him as learner. and to
be arranged and approved. as we'll as

agents.
The length of training varies great

in the occupation for which he has
been trained.
AS the official friend and adviser
to the disabled man, the board keeps
in touch with him, for such period
after he enters employment as may
be necessary to complete. in each
individual case, his re-establishment
as a civilian worker. The board will
protect him against injustice or ex-
ploitation by the adjustment of diff

ficers appointed, or those officers in
training camps, retired officers and
enlisted men, and those discharged or
in reserve. Disabled nurses and yeo-
men (female) are also included.
The purpose of the board is to re-
habilitate men so that they can MAIN
tain themselves in employment as nor
NAL workers on the basis of equal pay
for equal work.
The board does not hesitate to make
the statement that every man who has
a major amputation. Or an obvious
disability. with whom it has come in
contact, has been awarded vocational
training. The board is ready to edu-
cate or rehabilitate all cases Of this
character:
In order to give the men training at
the earliest time, training centers
have been established in hospitals.
where men who are sufficiently well
are given instruction. This keeps the
men occupied and active. which in it.
self is Of great benefit.
ChOtce or Occupation.
The board generally bases its re-
habilitation program for the individ-
ual upon his previous ,occupational
history. If he is able to carry on in
IN occupation closely .>allied to his
previous one. 1t is the intention to
give him training in that line. How
ever, there are cases who prefer an
entirely new vocation, and If the per-
son has the aptitude for such an oc-
cupation he is given training accord
ingly.
Generally a man who was a me-
chanic prior to his disability will
choose some mechanical line of work
closely allied to his previous training.
He is encouraged to do this.
A large percentage Of men are re-
ceiving training in agriculture and
they are making success of it.
Those who left the farms to join the
colors and became disabled are being
rehabilitated to carry on. At the
Michigan Agricultural College there

A New Kind of Flower Show

An armory in crowded section of
"down town" New York was the
scene last week of June flower ex-
hibit which was both new and sue
cessful. During the spring, pupils in
the public schools throughout New
York City were given tiny plants
raised from seed and told how to
plant them in pots or boxes. Just be-
fore the time set for the exhibit, the
pupils brought their potted plants
back to school and the best from each
school were chosen for the exhibit.
The pride of the young exhibitors
suggested the making of many a fu-
ture Burband. The plants from the
tenement house districts, where the
difficulty of obtaining soil must have
taxed the ingenuity and energy of the
young horticulturists, did not by any
means take second place. Some of the
finest specimens came from these dis

tricts. Surrounding the planting,
growth and care of these flowers an
interesting family and neighborhood
story ca neasily be imagined by any
one who has seen child life in the
tenement house district of large
city.
The mayors committee of women
were the judges to award series OF
prizes for the best plants and there
was fitting ceremony and addresses
to the prize winners. The exhibit
successfully demonstrated that every
child could grow at least one potted
plant and demonstrated many other
things besides in regard to practical
education in its effect on child and
community.
The New York experiment is to be
made a permanent part of the school
activities under the Director Of Pub
lie School Gardens. The movement
deserves to spread.

NEW CONSTITU-
TON PROPOSED FOR
PENNSYLVANIA
George Wharton Pepper Says
New Day is Dawning
in that State

In a spirited statement in defense
of proposed changes in the Constltu-
ton of Pennsylvania, George Whar-
ton Pepper, a member OF Governor
Sprouts Commission on Constltu-
tional Revision, said recently: "A
new day is dawning in Pennsylvania
educational, socially, in respect TO
public welfare, in respect to munlc-
ipal development, in respect to state
activities, and in respect to respons-
ible state government"
Three of the Constitutional amend
ments called for at this time are
given by Mr. Pepper as illustrative of
the kind of revision proposed by the
Commission of which he is member.
The first is making possible the crea-
ton of budget system so that the
legislature can determine how much
the tSate has to spend compared with
what it is asked to appropriate.
PENNSYLVANIA is now spending about
S6O,OOO,OOO annually. The second
vital change emphasized by Mr..
Pepper is granting satisfactory home
rule provisions to all cities of certain
classes. Third is the protection OF
the judiciary by the abolition OF all
non-judicial duties now required OF
the Judges such as the appointment
of various boards and commissions
which involve the courts in political
considerations.
In answer to political DIRECTORS
who "see no reason" for changing the
constitution Mr.. Pepper says:
when a man who has not studied
the subject says he is unalterably
opposed to revision it merely means
that he has closed his mind, not that
he has closed it wisely.
at has been suggested that pres
ent-day conditions are too chaotic to
undertake safely constitutional re-
vision. / am of the belief that, rela-
lively to the days that lie ahead of US,
these are days of peace and quiet. |
think it is a short-sighted man who
fails to perceive that this is so. | re-
gard the revision Of our constitution
as an inevitable necessity, as some
thing that is coming sooner or later.
An operation must be performed. 1t
is wise to operate between acute at
tacks."
With such an able man as George
Wharton Pepper enthusiastically en-
listed in the work of bringing about
Pennsylvania new day." the think
ing citizens of our neighboring com.
monwealth have splendid en-.
enlargement which they ought tc
meet more than half way.

Unusual lob for a Girl

Walking about little cupola on a
high point of land in New Jersey,
young girl looks out every day over
landscape of hills and valleys mostly
covered with trees She can see for
fifteen miles in every direction, and
over the great area of this view she
lets her eyes travel constantly. Her
job is to detect forest fires. The tele-
phone is close at hand to send out the
warning. The girl on the lookout is
so familiar with the country that she
knows where to phone when she sees
smoke curling up from any point.
Miss Julia Cramer, aged twenty,
has already made a record for dis
covering fires and preventing large
property losses, that is the enevy of
many men who hold similar positions.
Attention has been called to her
alertness recently by warning from
her which saved from the flames an
arsenal where thousands of tons of
loaded shells are stored. At 1890
o'clock on June 18th, she saw a curl
of smoke rising out of thick woods
| just half mile from the Amatol
arsenel reservation. She phoned i'm.
mediately to the nearest points, anG
within short time 100 soldiers from
the arsenal and 100 volunteer fire
fighters were at work battling with g
forest fire which spread over hun
dred acres of timber land before il
was finally conquered. In the mean
time another forest blaze was dis
covered four miles away which wa!
fought by regular fire wardens ant
their helpers.
Miss Cramer is said to be the only
girl in the country employed in tn,
capacity of forest lookout. The Batstt
lookout of which she has charge is OF
part of the estate of the late JOSEPH
Wharton, who founded the Wharton
School of Finance and Economy a.
the University of Pennsylvania.

Dollar Bills for Silver Dollars

An interesting story has been is
sued from Washington about the sup
ply of silver dollars in the Treasury.
The dollar bill which we prefer to use
is, of course, only a silver certificate
and can be exchanged at any time for
a silver dollar or it's equivalent in
silver coin. The reserve of silver
dollars in the valuts of the federal
Treasury department has therefore
been very large. Although the coin
age of silver dollars stopped in 1914,
there were enough of these dollars
living idle in the Treasury to aid
Great Britain in a crisis during the
war.
The natives of India produced
silver famine by boarding silver and
hiding it in the hills. The Germans
took advantage of this situation to
circulate report that England could
not redeem her paper certificates
with silver coin, which was true, as
the silver could not be got away from
the natives. The English government
appealed to the government at Wash
ington and was able to buy from us
279,OOO,OO0 silver dollars which were
melted and recoined as English
money. Federal Reserve notes were
deposited in our treasury as security
for the dollar bills issued in place o.
the silver coin sold to England.
Since March of this year the Treas
ury Department has been buying
silver and the Mint has been coming
silver dollars. 2O,OO0,O00 have already
gone to fill the hole in the Treasury
valuts and production by the Mint is
continuing at the rate of about g.
600 900 or 100000 month.

MILK ESSENTIALS AND COST
Results Of Two-Year Study on Number
of Dairy Farms in Northwest
ern Indiana.

A twO-year study of the cost of milk
production undertaken comparatively
by the United States dairy division and
Purdue university. on number of
dairy forms in northwestern Indiana,
has resulted in figures on the require
ments for producing 100 pounds of
milk in winter and summer. To give
permanent value to the results, these
requirements were determined in
pounds of feed, hours of labor, etc,
and by substituting present costs and
values for various items a farmer can
determine very closely what it is cost
ing him to produce 100 pounds Of milk
at the present time.
In the summer months the require
Inents for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrates. 20 pounds dry
foughage 27.4 pounds; silage and 9th
ef succulent roughage, 60.1 pounds
hauling and grinding concentrates
SO.0l4; pasture. 004 acre; human Ia
Dor, % hours; horse labor. o. hour
overhead and other costs. $0.393.
In the winter months the require
ments for production We're: Concen-
rates. 1856 pounds dry roughage, 66.s
pounds; silage and other succulent
toughage, 147.6 pounds: hauling and
grinding concentrates, S0.03; bedding
20,3 pounds; human labor, 30 hours
horse labor, .O3 hour; overhead and
other costs. $0.3S5.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost of producing milk was consid
erably higher In winter than in sum
mer; and while this holds true as far
rs the gross cost is concerned. the fig
nres obtained in this investigation
show that the net cost of producing 1O(
pounds of milk from November tC
