TRAINING OF VETERANS
Soldiers Vocational Educational
Courses Are PROVING Success

Courses Are Proving Success
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch
Minneapolis. November. 16.-Proof
of the rehabilitative success offor-
mer soldiers receiving special train :
ing under the direction of the United
States Veterans bureau, is shown
in reports just made public by c. D..
Hubbard, manager of districts No.
10, which includes the states of Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
and Montana.
Reports to Mr.. Hibbard for this
district from COL men indicated that
342 men, or 81 per cent of the en-
tire number, were absorbed by the
shop or institution in which they
had received their training. Ninety
eight, or sixteen per cent, have gone
into business for themselves. Eigh-
teen per cent, or Ito men, have been
placed in employment with con-
Germs other than those with which
they received their training. Only
eight per cent are awaiting employ
ment
"This record speaks volumes for
the confidence these firms have in
the skill and personal worth of
these trainees," said Mr.. Hfbbard.
They were so satisfied with them
that they would not let them go. but
instead placed them upon their own
payrolls."
Manager Hubbard also called at
tention to the fact that many of the
COL men from whom reports were
received, were trained in schools
which had no opportunity for plac-
ing these men upon their payrolls
after they were trained
These figures clearly prove that
all these trained veterans need is
an opportunity in suitable employ
ment," he added.

charge us as much as $1.G5."

at least 1000 miles on the expedition,
while little Alice was carried most Of
the way in u basket chair arrangement
by her black boys.

woman member of the party. All re-
turned in excellent health.
