Thousands of War Planes Swarm Over Ruhr
 Section Today

LONDON, March 23.--Thcusands of American and British warplanes lashed out for the third day at the Ruhr, where blazing mass of wreckage marked yesterdays record assault.
 Again the fury of the assault was concentrated on supply lines, with the presumed objective of isolating the industrial area east of the Rhine along which powerful Allied armies are massed.
 Eleven railyards in the Ruhr were attacked in bright weather by 1250 American heavy bombers and $50 fighter planes, while a force of British Lancasters went after the important railbridge at Bremen with eleven-ton volcano bombs.
 All German radio and telegraphic news service appeared sporadic, and military reports were interrupted for several hours. Trans -oceans' broadcasts abroad were shut down completely for at least eight hours after the transmission of the Ger man communtque.
 A special communique from head quarters Of the U. s. Strategic Air fierce declared all nine German ar my camps attacked in the Ruhr yes terday by American heavies were wrecked by from 30 to 50 tons of bombs, and thousands of small in- cendiaries scattered among German troops.
 Berlin was bombed for the thirty first night by RAF Mosquito bomb CTS, which also struck follow-up Elows on enemy troop movements across the Rhine, in the region bat tered yesterday by the bulk of more that 8,000 American and British planes which struck Germany from dawn to dusk.

When the Veterans Administra . ton defined "an ordinary school year" as used in the GI Bill to mean 30 to 38 weeks, there were some vet erans who were studying ir a New York school of photography.
 It was a long established scheol-- legitimate in every respect. It's charge was s50o-$41e for tuition and about $90 for suprlies.
 But, while this amount was i,i line with the maximum allowance for an ordinary school year, the coi;rse it. self was approximately IT weeks in stead of the minimum of 30 weeks required for an ordinary school year.
 Thus, under the V. A. ruling, it looksd for time as though the school would get paid for only 17l30th of it's bill for each ex-service student.
 But the courses for these students had been approved by the Y. A be- fore the ruling was made, so the school will get paid. Besides, sev- eral of the students were disabled veterans anyway, and there's no $500 restriction on tuition and sup plies under the vocational rehabilita- tion plan for the disabled
 Nevertheless that incident can serve as red flag for the future in your selection of a school and a course. A school year is at least 30 weeks. If the course your are considering lasts IS weeks, the max imum payment allowed by the gov ernment will be $500 --- (l8l30th of $500.
 There's another reason why we should seek advice and give care full thought in the selection of a school or training institution.
 After the World War ended in 1913, the government had voca- tional rehabilitation plan for dis abled veterans who needed training or education to overcome their ser vice-incurred handicap. About 178,- coo decided to use the governments offer of free training.
 Then there suddenly appeared Fl usually in the larger cities = new trade schools and vocational train- ing establishments. Some were leg itimate, but many originated only to give little or nothing and to set some of that easy government money. Result was that, at these places, the disabled ex-service man didn't get the governments moneys worth. Both the veteran and the government lost.
 Anyway, after little war like the last one, 178J000 men actually started training under the Vocational Re- mobilization law then in effect. It doesn't take even the brains of a Mortimer Snerd to understand that after this war there are likely to be so many seeking education or train ing that our established institutions may have difficulty accommoda ting them
 In addition to the thousands of disabled veterans who will be able to qualify under Public 16, (Voca- tional Rehabilitation, we yill have eleven or twelve million ex-service men and women, and many of these perhaps even a million or two, will qualify under the CT Bill and want training or education.
 So, if with only a comparatively small number of veterans to be trained in 1918 after the World War, there were phony schools organized, can't you imagine the number of gyp outfits that will spring up with so many more possible victims to work on?
 There are plenty of legitimate, es-

Pupils whose efforts in representation have not been outstanding often find the creative work very fascinating and delightful, and use their colors and brush freely. The same is true of finger painting, as the children have an opportunity to draw many designs before they decide upon tie one that pleases them most.
 Creative work teaches the chil- dren to study cloth design. as well as wallpaper and linoleum design The children thoroughly enjoy this work
