Undar tba Smith-Sear* bill, which racantly waa eigned by tha Praaidant, tha federal adoration board will euper viaa tha vocational rehabilitation of our diaalded aoldlara. Practically all raraara will ba opan to tha dlaablad man. Tha govammant will do every thing poaaihle to e<|uip the wounded aoldiar to r»-*ntar rivil Ufa and make hia livelihood. Plan* for the vocational rehabilita tion of these unfortunate hut heroic soldier* are announced an follow* by the federal board: "The United State* like the other nation* in the war, ha* decided to re educate or vocationally rehabilitate ita disabled soldiers and aailor* who by reason of service are unable to rr*ume their former occupation*. "Thi* activity divide* into two pe riod*: getting the men well, and get ting them back into civil life and em ployment. Thi* latter ia the especial tank of thia board and re-education to lit the men for some job or profes sion; the object toward which tile edu cation will be directed to be deter mined at the earlie*t possible moment while the men are still in the hospi tal. "The men who pass through the hospitals may be placed in two clas sea—those who pass out without earn ing capacity unimpaired, and those who require re-education to make up the deficiency caused by their perma nent incapacity through injuries re ceived in service. It Is with thia se cond class that the Federal Board for Vocational Education is concerned, the duty of re-educating them and placing them hack in civil life having been expressly and exclusively con-' tided to this board by act of Congress approved June 27. "The three duties laid upon the board by law, relative to the disabled men, are: "1. Advisement, to ascertain what' the man may want to train for, and to IQiide him into that vacation best suit ed to hm capabilities and which offers most substantial expectations of stea dy and remunerative employment. "2. Training, by which after his aim is fixed and decided, he is made efficient in that trade or profession,, and,. "3. Placement, which .graduate* him out of the student and into the wage-earning or self-sustaining class; the latter made possible by the re-ed ucation he has received. "The advisement may begin in the hospital in closest harmony with the surgeon-general's office, and at the earliest possible moment, so that what ever exercises or occupations given the putients for their therapeutic or curative value, may when possible be a process in the scheme of re-educa tion, and have a double and practical purpose aside from their well recog nized place as restorative media. "All careers are open to the dis abled men. They are not confined to a choice of manual trades. They will be given that training which, their ca pabilities considered, offers the great est opportunity for civilian usefulness personal happiness and content, and well patd reward. "Congress had mandatorially set up and defined clearly these duties of training and placement after dis charge from service of all disabled meml>ers of the military and naval forces of the United State*. These tasks are absolutely those of the fed eral hoard for vocational education. They cannot be delegated nor sub-let, and as the federal board is held strict ly accountable and responsible for the proper performance of this duty, it will Mcaaaarily be compelled to^Jiave full control of all processes leaditt to the end of re-education and voeatmftl rahabilKatlaa far tto iwhliil mm.
