EDUCATION FOR SOLDIERS The most costly section of the “GI Bill of Rights,” recently signed by President Roosevelt, is that which grants to.veterans of World War II educational bene- fits for tuition up +to $500 annually, plus allowances of froni $50 to §75 monthly for maintenance. Some soldiersimay be able’to take four yearsof college work under this arrangement, What the nation will' pay, during the next fecade, ta carry through this vast | program, it would be difficult to estimate. The total will be tremendous’ But we feel the investment will be a good one, provided advantages thus offered are fully utilized by the veterans themselves. The United States Chamber of Commerce, in a | collapse of a rccent study, brought out the great economic ad- Hoss Shay,” vantages which education brings to a community, a state or a nation.
