uuet of Easter lilies and bleeding
hearts. The groom, Miss Genevieye

Miss Laura Nelson gave a party

Nut baskets and place cards carried

Bile from the laws view point range
from the violinist whose finger ampu-
tation ruined his desired career, 10
the unfortunate youth with hands and
eyes blown away. In capacity the stu
dents include everybody from the COM
mon laborer, totally il~literate, even in
his native tongue, to the highly edu-
Gated man. The places of training
include approximately 95 schools and
colleges, and LOIS industrial and COM
mercial and agricultural establish
ments, while several hundred men still
in hospitals are receiving such edu-
cation as has been provided by the
establishment of hospital training CEN
tiers.
Never before was there built up in
such a comparatively short time a
training institution Of such tremen-
dous size. Never before, in the his
tory Of any educational institution
have the directors been called upon,
not only to provide training but also
to enlist their trainers, to examine
them medically and vo~cationally, and
to give each n of them thorough
and effective vocational advice.
Never before has it been necessary
to create for each trainer a real job
objective which, after his training
is completed will insure employment
with a steady and reasonable wage.
In this connection it is necessary to
bring about real cooperation with all
existing social agencies, and also to
provide medical attention, to super
wise the cases of students needing it
and to make certain that every mar
of the thousands in training receives
his ~bi-monthly training pay.
This gigantic undertaking is the
practical way in which the govern
ment is striving to make some ade-
Quate compensation to those who sac
riiced everything and gave, without
question, their personal services 10
the ~stupendous conflict with the cen
trail powers. SO great were the i'm
mediate problems of organizing the
fighting forces that not until we had
been in the World war fourteen months
was it possible to devise legislation to
provide stimulating rehabilitation rath-

GET A FOR FAIR

Begin now to feed and prepare the
sheep for the state and county fairs,
is the suggestion offered to South Da-
kota wool growers by j. G.. Holmes,
livestock specialist at State college.
You will need to feed about three for
each one you show. Pick u the best
individuals and keep them in clean
pens or pasture. The sheep should be
muscled and firmly fieshed when
shown. They should be made prime
about the time Of the best show, not
too fat, or so thin hat their backs
are rough, but nice, smooth and mel

sheep with straight legs set wide
apart, leg of mutton thick, and

be selected. 1t is well to clip the
sheep early, and clean and wash them
after clipping, also dip them if neces-
sary, then.

Mrs, Buck, the president of the State
federatlon of Women's Clubs, visited
bTooklngs last week. Upon invitation
VI the CIVIC League the City Fedora
tlon co operated in getting the club
women of Brookings together to meet
Mrs. Buck and to hear her talk.
This meeting was held Saturday
evening in the Commercial Club
rooms. More than fifty interested
women gathered to hear Mrs. Buck
tell OF the State Federation and it's
work. a very interesting feature Of
her talk was hat concerning the work
done at Pierre last winter. The fed
Grafton had registered lobbyists pres
ent throughout the session working
Tor the passage of bills which the fed
Grafton had endorsed.
Mrs. Buck pointed out the force
that women are and can be when
working u%nitedly. The clubs that are
not federated are failing to be the
force that they might be. The men,
bers of unfederated clubs are missing
the inspiration that comes by taking
part in movements for statewide good,
At the close of Mrs. Bucks address
questions were asked and a lively in

tional handicap; and ca feasibility
of training. 1t is often exceedingly
difficult to obtain information which
Will prove that the disability is con-
nected with service; hundreds OF dis
to get home, gave sworn statements
that they were not disabled, state
ments which the federal board must
now disprove; and in a great many
instances it necessitates the greatest
amount of skill and patience to ascer-
tain on the one hand, the degree OF
physical unftness and on the other,
the adpatability for training.
The action Of congress in provid-
ing the organization and funds for
vocational rehabilitation Of the war
disabled was indeed far-sighted. The
good results cannot be measured from
the mere standpoint of tiding disabled
men over the period of their conva'
l~escence from war injuries. 1t must
be considered in the light OF the trans.
formation of a large and influential
body of men who, had they been neg,
lected, might have become disheart-
ened because of what they could have
rightfully regarded as a nations in
gratitude; a transformation into a
coherent group of enthusiastic Amer
leans, filed with American ideals,
grateful to Uncle Sam, and evincing
by their own ability the sound train
ing in productive industry and profess
sion which they have secured.

for Vocational Education is actually

ton act thorough and practical train
ing TO approximately 4,50O men in the
