THE BEE; OMAHA. MONDAY, JULY 22; 1918. MAKE PLANS FOR RE-EDUCATION OF DISABLED HEROES Nebraska Representatives Re turn From Washington Con ference; Problems Discussed. State Superintendent W. H. Clem mons of the state board for voca tional education, and Director C. A. Fulmer have returned from Wash ington, where they were called by the federal board for a conference on plans for the re-eriTiratinri nf H,-c. ahled soldiers and sailors and pro blems connected with the administra tion of the Smith-Hughes act. Rep resentatives of state boards and state directors from the states were pres ent. 'Congress recently passed the Smith-Sears act, which appropriated $2,000,000 for the re-education of dis abled soldiers and sailors and placed the responsibility for the administra tion of the act with the federal board. The federal board will share its re sponsibility with the state boards in so far as the work is related to sep arate states. Detailed plans will be formulated at once and state boards advised as to their duties. Re-education work will be directed entirely by the federal board. Several Decisions. Certain points were decided upon as follows: 1. Types of disability vary and therefore all cases must be handled Individually. i. There Is no appropriation for buildings. 3. So far as possible existing ichools! Plants and Institutions, both state and pri vate, will be utilized. 4. Every man coming under the war Insurance act Is entitled to training. 5. Training will be continuous through hospital convalescence and until the man enters his trade. 6. Re-educated men will be placed In positions. 7. Private gifts must be turned Into the Lnited States treasury and expended by the federal board. No private or communi ty will be recognized in any way whatso ever. State boards were urged to push their campaigns for a larger enroll men in war-training in "wireless," auto:gas engine, and all forms of me chanics. Men, completing such courses are insured places in such army work. More then 300,000 such men are needed over and above those provided through army arrangement. Urges Home Economics. The federal board urges that courses in agriculture and home eco nomics under flip Smitli-Hiiohes urt be established as far as possible in rural, county, and consolidated high school districts in order to reach farm boys and girls. This is the policy of the Nebraska State board. The Walter Reed military hospital in Washington was visited. Here are beds tor H.OUO patients. At the pres ent time 1.400 natipnt ?nn r.f are from overseas, are being treated. The capacity will be increased within two years to 28,000 beds. t The government's plans for educat ing the crippled soldiers as they re turn from the field while not complete in every detail, are thorough and far reaching. The federal board, which is i to execute these plans, is determin ed that the government's wishes be followed to the letter and that exery thing be done that possibly can be done to not only place our gallant young men in possession of an edu cation that will life's work, but also to see to it that they have work to do when their education is complete. Boyles' 'Vacation as Usual' Plan Meets With Success "Conditions alter vacations," says H. B. Boyles, president of Boyles col lege, when questioned as to the suc cess of his "school all summer plan." 'When the government asked com mercial school men to impress upon the minds of young people the fact uiac to nn me place ot a lighting man ! was next in importance to fighting, 1 I decided that it was up to me to do j something. I saw that unless some I emergency measure were taken the ' supply of workers would play out i long before all positions could be ' niiea. ; "Therefore 'the intensive summer training school. But the young people are the ones that are making the thing a Success. I have fnmirl ihzt !, 'do something' patriotism is very manifest in the younger generation. "Oh, yes, I will probably take a va cation to celebrate the winning of the war, but until that time you'll find me on the job either here at the school or out in the war garden " Assistant Superintendent Praises Silver Dale School Miss Alice Florer, assistant state superintendent, upon a recent visit to school district No. 13 in Merrick coun ty, said that this rural school was the best she had yet visited in the state.
