And from all appearances people wilkalways find edough to lie about in the sun. —The Pessimist— ‘The Inquisitive Contrib. A contributor to.“As You Like It” says he would like to know the prop- er pronounciation for the last word in the phrase, *The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” He says fa- ther calls it Apocalypse; mother cals is Apocalypse; sister is positive it is Apocalypse; but he is sure it's ‘Apoc- alypse. —It Is Apocalypse— Right in Sf¥le. A young girl was sent to a reform school a number of years back for wearing her skirts too high. Now she has been' released and finds that the skiirt she then wore is long out of date. —Going' Up— Nothing New. 5 An Eastérner has invented a tire to run without air, and he is telling the world about it in bragging tones. Why, that’s nothing, we've seen lots of tires running without air—inside them. —Doesn't That Make You Tjred— The Gocd Old Days. Sol Springer ventures forth to say that many of the “little red school| ‘houses” of long ago are now presided over. by little red school teachers. | —Whatcha Mean?— A New One on Us. xNot very many days ago we found a*new brand of soup advertised at one of the local restaurants as “Clam Chowder.” But when we got an ord- er of it we noticed that it made just as muck] noise as ‘any other brand. —Nothing In" A’ Name— The Yapper. Sojebody’s going to yap too much about Yap and when the yapping is well under way, Uncle Sam’s dogs may bark.

The Sentimental landlady thinks it is hard that a poor lttle lamb should be destroyed in its youth to furnish food for the boarders. We agree with her, it is tough. OR HAY "MR. SOANDSO 'S TRAINING CENTERS ARE NOW BEING ESTABLIS Federal Board for Vocational Education Forms Centers in District No. 10 The federal board for vocational education discovered early in its work of rehabilitating the disabled ex-serv- icemen that its obligations were many and greatly diversified, fqr__ n addition to those disabled men eligible and able to take training, there are other ex-service men eligible but phys- ically unable to take either institu- tional or placement training as cus- tomarily provided, the latter being divided into two groups — namely those eligible for training but who are still patients in hospitals, and those eligible but physically unable to take the training, although they may be at home or drifting about the country, These groups comprise principally tuberculous and mental cases. It is the duty of the federal board, insofar as possible, to “sal- vage” these men, not only because the rehabilitation act requires it, but because society and economic condi- tions rendér it imperative. The organizers of the rehabilitation division early visualized this problem and worked out a2 program which was eventually to make provision for these who could not, because in_hospitals, and the ones who did not, for a vari- WHEN WE ASK FOR NEWS ITEMS, WE DONT 1 MEAN ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO 15'GOING 0 GIVE A BASKET SOCIAL AND PLEASE BRING BASKEYS BUYING A FINE LINE OF GOODS FOR WS SToRe ] ety of reasons, some to the federal board. In the earlier work of rehabilitating the disabled veterans of the World war, the federal board made use of schools of all kinds that were already established; also of shops, mills and factories. Soon these were filled to capacity. It was also found that there —Tough Is Right— h . = . were typés of men who could not be That Little Island. taught to the best advantage in any Norfolk, Virginia, Pilot: Great Brit- | existing schools; which were estab- ain appears to be a body of land wholly surrounded by hot water.

BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. A, Nikle invited a number of little guests to her home, 821 Minne- sota avenue; Saturday afternoon in honor of her daughter Beverly's sev- enth birth anniversary. The children had a happy time playing games after which Mrs. Nikle, assisted by Miss Naomi Rice, served a birthday lunch. Beverly received many pretty birth-| day gifts from her guests.

They were not adapted to men of mature years, to men with mental disturbances, to men afflicted with tuberculosis, to men able to devote only part time to study, to men with little or no educa- tion, and to other special classes. But all these must be given the benefits of the rehabilitation act. Therefore, about a year ago, the federal board began to establish its| own schools or training centers to! better meet the needs of the men| mentioned above. These schools are not intended to compete with any ex- isting ‘training facilities, but rather to supplement them. As a matter of administration, each of the 14 districts into which the United States is divided for rehabili- tation purposes has a special officer nown as the supervisor of federal poard training centets, whose duty it is to organize, equip, and supervise ghe work of these special centers. He is always a man of experience as an educator and organizer, with a knowl edge of the vocational lines that are n demand at the present time. Centers are established in hospitals so that men undergoing treatmetit may, as soon as they are able, devote part of their time to study. In this way they begin their training and al- so find out what line of work they are most interested in. As a matter of experience, it has been proven that only an hour may be _dgvoted on the first day of this training work, but if the man’s health improves, the time which he may be i greased. Experience has also prov- en that the work which he is able to do has a beneficial result in the im- provement of his health, and is, there- fore, welcomed by the hospital au- thorities. Another fact should not be over- looked. Men entering the hospitals who have ‘not, as yet, been approved for training are assisted in making out the necessary papers in order that an eligibility rating may be made. If rated eligible, and they are to remain in the hospitals for some time, they will then be able training in the hospital school, If they are soon to leave the hospital, they will be able to step directly from the hospital into regular voecational training. . Much of the work in the hospitais is pre-vocational in nature, consisting of English, spelling, . letter-writing, arithmetic and penmanship. - This is éspecially valuable for men of foreign birth or those who have little educa- tion and might easily be considered a necessity to men of all classes in all trades and industries. Considerable v'ocationnl work is also done along the lines = of typewriting, stenography, bookkeeping, mechanical and atchi- tectural drawing, commercial art (il- | lustrating), businéss law and sign painting. In a few instances work of ablé to spend upon-his work may be| STARNLES 1N THE QITY ing, shoe repairing and electricity is given, looking forward to a more ex- tended course ‘in these trades after the recovery of health. ue men are tutored in advanced subjects. In fact, most of the work is individual rather than class because the men are of such different attainments and neegs. ree definite things are, therefore, accomplished while the man is mak- ing his stay in the hospital. He is furnished educational and pre-vocational training as an encour- agement so that upon his discharge he is ready and anxious to continue vo- cational rehabilitation. He is assured that time spent in a hospital will have a vocational as well as curative value, thus saving the pa- tienf much time and energy otherwise lost. An opportunity is afforded to com- pile all information and to do all pa- per work on the patient’s case before he leaves the hospital, thereby assur- ing quick action and decisién regard- ing his training. Centers are also formed in com- munities, outside of hospitals, to care for several distinct classes of trainees: (a) those being trained in shops and factories who need sup- plemental work in drafting, mathe- matics or English; (b) those who are undecided as to the - vocation for which they wish to be trained and need to be taught in various subjects, working with an-advisor to decide up- on their final choice of a vocation; (c) those taking correspondence courses who need assistance with difficult les- sons, and (d) men_entitled to train- ing but who are still holding positions and who can and will accept evening instruction. Large special centers are estab- lished to care for men recovering from tuberculosis, and for men with mental disabi¥ties. Men in those centers are furnished living quarters and board, as well as nursing and medical attention, in order ~that all condi- tions under which the men live and study may be carefully controled. Each center is in charge of an edu- with’ as many ex- perienced teachers as are needed. These teachers are given an intensive course of training at Washington, D. C., to fit them for this kind of worlk. Equipment for these centers is fur- nished by the federal board and is well adapted to the work to be car- ried on, . No department of the federal board work is developing more rapidly than that of the special training centers. It fills & place in the scheme of rehabil- itation that no existing institutions were prepared to fill, and adds anoth- er valuable agency in caring for the needs of the disabled ex-service men. Centers of kinds mentioned are be- ing established in District No. 10 as rapidly as possible. Already there are ten organized and more in the process of organization. Every place where there are disabled ‘ex-service men is being investigated, ' including hospi- tals, prisons and insane asylums. The work is indicative of the care- ful attention that is being given t6 the cational director gigantic task of rehabilitating the army of disabled men. Propérly housed and equipped, these classes in vocational . training will inevitably become a powerful factor for good in the lives of the ex- service men in the hospitals and sani- tariums, and other similar institu- tions. Of all the benefits which our government can offer the disabled veterans, this one is the most signi- ficant in possibilities for good. Money | /= compensation, homes, medical treat- ment—these are all fine and appropri- ate ways of paying the nation’s debt to its defenders, but to help.these men in their pre-war plans or will, in many instances, be incentives to far more congenial and useful careers than would have been possible without this advantage,. this is an undertaking of a scope and-a significance in the highest degree, typical of a democracy and of the development of its citi- zens. ~ To properly follow out this spirit-the federal board folows the man entitled to training and takes the training to him in case he is not able to come to the place of training. The bodrd was established for the sole to take up their| purpose of service to the men who served the nation and strives in ev- exry way possible to carry out both the letter and.the-spirit of the rehabili- tation act.
