The enroliment in such schools outstrips of vet- all calculations and is attributed to the aggress {and Mrs. Paul Herrick, who had ive sales tactics of certain private schools, | been on a tour in the New Eng- . bi land States, returned -home yes- most ef them being established to take advan- age of Federal payments for tuition and expen- ses. it seems that the private schools, and probably some public schools as well, set up educctional programs for veterans and then get out io persuade the veterans to take the courses. The schools are paid according to the number of veterans they teach and the veterans receive certain compensation in connection with their schooling. H. V. Sterling. assistant administrator for Vocational Rehabilitation and Education, reports that some private schools run three classes a day and that one in the Middle West, with 3,300 students, collects monthly tuition in the amount of $165,000. Moreover, “some schools are willing to keep students indefinitely as long as the Government pays the bill and a number of veterans have been persuaded to sign up for night classes.” What the administrators are about is that Congress never intended the “edu- cational rights as relief or a bonus” and fear that the whole educational project may be thrown cut of balance “by the new schools which actively solicit veterans to use up all the worried time they have coming to them under the Bill of Rights.” The officials say that the Gis are proving “a gold mine to this type of operator WHO GE THE In 1948 one of the biggest automobile manufacturers made profits of 9.4 cents per $1.00 of sales. This profit—less than 10°:—is the incentive that keeps this business at work. Let's look at the people it benefited. First were the employes, who collected $1, 343,000,000 in wages and salaries. The next group that benefited was Federal, state and local governments that took $464, 000,090 in taxes. Finally, the owners—434,000 of them—re- | Y#le, former teacher of playwrit- ceived $211,000,000. This is the way the cash benefits from this company were shared: Owners, $1.00; Govern- ment Tax Collectors, $2.18; Employes, $6.37. The customers bought better automobiles than they could buy forty years ago, and they paid only a little more than half as much for them. ’ Profit keeps this company going. The employes receive the largest share of the bene- fit. Government takes the next largest share. The stockholders who put up the money to build this corporation and who run the risk of joss, receive the smallest share of all.
