report shows that rehabilitation was
was completed in 10 cases, and even
more important, the project has be-
come better established and more
time can be devoted to the necessary
field work. ~ - -
When a recipient of State and
Federal aid in this project has be-
come rehabilitated it means that he
has become self-supporting and this
fact must be taken into considera-
ton with reference to the figures
contained in the report for the past
fiscal year just issued by Leroy n.
Koonz, State supervisor of vocational
educa ton. After the cases to receive
attention have been selected, there
comes the task of training the Grip
pied persons in some vocation and
following this there is the period OF
supervision to determine If the in
dividuals are actually self-support-
ing.
The cost Of rehabilitating the 19
cases during the past fiscal year, as
shown by the report of Mr.. Koonz
was $2,01S.05, or an average cost pei
case of S10621. The results of the
training and supervision are shown
