The New Veterans School
BY FREDERICK J. HASKIN

ing the World war he constructed the
largest supply depot in France.
Plans are made for the accommodate
ton of 5000 or more students at the
Chillicothe school. Some disabled vet
Grams have the impression that strict
military discipline will prevail at this
government school, and have objected
to the plan on that ground. This OBJ
lection is unfounded Only ordinary
discipline, such as is necessary in all
well regulated schools, will prevail.
Advantages of the School
The National Vocational Schools will
take the place of many inferior types
of schools formerly giving instructions
TO veterans. The period of training
will be sufficiently long to enable the
trainee to completely master his voca
ton and to overcome his vocational
handicap. A system of adequate try
outs will be established for the
trainees to determine if they have ap
titude for particular lines of work.
When the original soldier Rehabili
tation Act was passed on June 81, 1918
the government had no reliable data
either in this country or in any foreign
country on which to base program
The vocational rehabilitation of dis
abled veterans was new proposition
There had been an attempt on small
scale to rehabilitate those men injured
in industry prior to the passage of this
act. The governmental agency charg
ed with this relief under the act was
the Federal Board for Vocational Edu
cation, which had been organized I'm
der the act of July 81, 1917.
Canada had already begun the es
tablishment of a veteran rehabilitation
program and generously loaned thu
Federal Board several men who hat
been occupied in this work However
it had been found that the method
used in Canada and other countrie
were not applicable in the Unitet
States. The other countries worke,
on a smaller scale. with a limited elias
OF eligible benefciaries. Our program
was planned on a more generous scale
The men who urged this program 70

men eligible would be about 15,0 0(

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 1.-THE
opening of the Z. S. Veterans Bureau
Vocational Schools at Chillicothe, Ohio,
formerly Camp Sherman, marks the
Inauguration of new policy in reha-
bilitating the disabled veterans.
Formerly the trainees were farmed
out to various institutions. The vet
Grams will now be taken out of these
schools and placed in the government
institution at Chillicothe. The govern
ment will not take students out of &C
credited universities and colleges
where Veterans bureau trainees are
taking professional courses.
The school at Chillicothe is being
rapidly equipped with modern labor
atories and shops for classes in electri-
cal work, printing, steam-fitting, en-
craving, carpentry, architecture, book
binding, as well as courses along agri-
cultural lines, such as horticulture,
animal husbandry, dairying, cheese
and cream making, forestry, and sim
liar lines The school will be devoted
principally to instruction in the trades
and in agriculture.
The closest attention will be paid
TO the health CT these disabled veter-
ans. a modern hospital will be main
tanned on the campus, with an ade-
quate medical and nursing staff. Dis
ableG men in some instances are sub
ject to dependency as result OF
their condition. Consequently recre-
ative program has been planned to bet
ter the morale. Every accommodation
has been made for the married
trainees to insure the comfort of the
student and his family. Model cot
tages have been built and furnished
by the government The cottages will
not be of uniform type or color in or
der to prevent military appearance
The grounds will have the appearance
of a typical college campus rather
! than an army camp or military res
ervation.
The finance officer of the school viii
make arrangements with the various
| banking establishments for the stu
| dents to open saving accounts, so thai
when they are rehabilitated or gradu
! ated from the school, they will have
| enough money to start business fol
! themselves or at least enough to tide
! them over the period of transition.
The administrative head of th'
| schols will be Colonel Symmonds whC
was chief of the Public Service com
mission of Cuba in 1898. He was chic
| quartermaster of the EXpeditionar.
| Forces during the Cuban campaign
! and was later in charge of the public
! improvements at Port Principe. Dur

rienced advisors, Col. Forbes called a
rehabilitation conference, composed OF
leading educators and vocational in
structors, to meet with him in Wash
ington on December %, 80, 81, 1921.
This conference has contributed valu-
able data on this rehabilitation pro-
gram. Placement training will con-
tnue as part of the rehabilitation
program but this training will be given
in long-established industrial plants
and well known business arganlza-
lions. Students will not be taken out
of accredited colleges nor out of place
ment training where they are making
satisfactory progress, even though
they would like to go to the schools
at Chillicothe. The enrolment at this
school will be entirely voluntary on
the part of trainees. and no trainee
will be transferred, unless he assents
to the transfer

June 80, 1920. of which 10000 were in
placement training.
On August 8, 1921, that division OF
the Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation, which prior to that date had
charge of the rehabilitation of disabled
soldiers, was consolidated with the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance, as a re-
suit of the passage of the Sweet bill
Col. Charles r. Forbes became direc-
tor of the consolidated soldier relief
agency of the government, the United
States Veterans Bureau, under this
/ legislation. He discovered that the
rehabilitation program as administer
ed prior to this legislation was not
giving the best results. The men in
training changed from trade to trade,
! from shop to shop, from institution to
institution. A very small number of
men had been rehabilitated in the en-
ployment which they selected, or was
| selected for them, as their vocational
| objective. He also found that there
was no supervision over large num-
/ Der of men in placement training.
/ Those men who had entred institu-
| tional training in established universe
| ties and colleges We're experiencing
/ the least difficulty. These men who
/ are studying professions in we'll known
/ universities will continue in those
/ institutions
/ The establishment of the Chillicothe
! school, and others of a similar nature
/ to be established in the future, will
| overcome many of the difficulties in
the way of the present system of vo.
cational training. Instead of having
men scattered among several thousand
/ shops and private schools they will be
! trained in a few centralized govern
ment schools.
/ For the purpose of obtaining expe
