SOLDIER REHABILITATION

The outlook for the retraining of dis

war. The Board for Vocational Educa-
ton has at last been completely organ

appropriation of the necessary funds.
which were lacking for more than a wear.
1t is reported that LOO schools and col
leges are giving training to disabled men
in courses approved by the federal board.
More than $500 industrial, agricultural
and commercial employing agencies are
cooperating with the board in supplying
training on the job
In June, 1919, nearly a year after the
armistice, only 3,203 men were receiving
training. Just one year later the num-
Der had reached 10000. In the five
months from June 80 to Dec. 1. 1920.
10000 more were enrolled

Note Book
BY LEE PAPE.

THE INDIANS.
The Indians was a erly race
With black hair and high checked bones
They had copper colored compilations
But no electric liteS or fones
They were good with bows and arrows
And also fond of fishing,
And If they wished they had hot run
ming waiter
They had to take it out in wishing.
But still they had their plezzures,
lnclo0ding hunting for bears.
And wen they sat down they sat on the
ground
Out of respect for the absents OF
chairs.
They called their Children papoOses
And lived in home made tents.
With pole stuck up in the middle
And no back yard and 10 fence.
Wen their feet got tired they used a
canoe
Till enemy Indian sank it,
And n lady Indian was always Squaw
And went Ground raped in a blankit.
\ buntch of tents was a village
And a buntch of Indians a tribe.
And a buntch of grunts was their lang
widge,
Making them a sintch to describe.

ARCTIC OIL FIELDS.

First Stefansson comes back and
shoots all arctic history full of holes with
tales of plenty TO eat, of thriving animal
life and charming climate conditions
where mankind for decades has fondly
pictured only ice and barren snow. And
now the papers are full of a great oil
stampede to fields of unparalleled rich
ness in the Fort Norman region along the
arctic circle 1t is said that the des-
pendants of the old gold diggers of Cali
fornia and Alaska days, running true to
form, are grasping their oil cans and
rushing to stake out claims in spite of
hardships and obstacles.
With the discovery of what seems to
be veritable oil Eldorado in this re-
mote region, not only has another arctic
bubble burst, but again the ancient mir
acle of a new supply answers the ancient
worry of what is to be done when the
.God-given commodity runs out"
1t is strange that in spite of the tes-
timony of the centuries mankind keeps
right on worrying and believing that the
last miracle has occurred. Not every
body can rush to the new oil area and
bring home a fortune, but everybody who
sits at home and reads of the find can
gain new riches of faith and courage.

There are many complications in car
rying out this work Eligibility is not
always easily determined, but the board
honestly attempts to be fair and has
made it a rule always to decide in favor
of the applicant if any doubt exists.
There is great variety of previous educa-
ton and training among the applicants
themselves. Some of them are illiterates.
This necesitates the fundamentals of ed
ucation before any vocational work can
be started. School room and shop con-
sequently alternate in such cases. Al
though the whole problem is not so simple
as the public has imagined, it is not i'm
possible to dc effective work. 1t is graf

ognition of the need and that marked
improvement and activity are in progress
