Just about a year ago the School
Of Agriculture took over the added
task Of endeavoring TO furnish an
agricultural education and training
to disabled soldiers. AT the begin
ming it was thought that this prob
lem could best be handled by estab-
fishing a separate department Of re-
habilitation. with a separate organ
ization and separate instructors. The
funds allowed by the Federal Gov
ernment for the work has made this
possible. on May /. 1920, the de-
partment opened its doors with an
enrolment Of less than twenty men
and with but one instructor on the
| grounds During the year the de-
| partment has given instruction In
agriculture TO over 125 disabled men.
The instruction staff has increased
to eight and a number Of special
tutors have been employed from
time 70 time. A poultry plant has
been partly equipped and the poul-
try course has been a favorite with
the men. The classroom and labor
atory work has been supplemented
with placement training on well con-
Quoted farms. A few of the re-
habilitation students have had sufii-
cient scholastic training that they
were allowed TO take some of the
regular college work leading to a
degree Every opportunity is being
given these men 20 work off their
college entrance requirments and
doubtless the opening of the next
University session will see quite a
few OF the men regularly enrolled
as four-year agricultural students.
"Owing TO the poor scholastic pre-
d paration of a majority of the men,
il has been necessary to offer them
1 instruction in elementary English
Mathematics. History and Civics.

during the coming year. II viii
then be necessary to add at least two
: more instructors TO the teaching
stan. This can be done without in
volving University funds.
