Mrs. Milner Reveals Plans
For Post-War Education
By ANNE PERKINS
In a recent interview, Sirs. Milner
gave her viewpoints upon the demili
tarization and moralizing of men now
in the armed forces. "There will have
to be a gradual release of these boys,"
she said. "If all of them are released
at once, there will be too many look
ing for jobs which only a few will
obtain ; walking the streets and stand
ing in breadlines can result only in
maladjustment."
Of those released, Mrs. Milner went
on to say, the more able men, those
with tlie desire to continue their higher
education which was interrupted or
blotted out by the war, should enroll
in colleges, universities, and vocational
schools, but guidance offices should be
established to encourage and help men
to select the schools and vocational
training for which they are best fitted.
