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.

ardized at which time it was named

The bureau of professional service
conducted by the University of Ne
braska, co-operating with the United
States Department of Labor, is re
ceiving many calls for teachers, prin
cipals, supervisors and superintend
ents of schools. There are several
lines in which there is serious short
age. Inquiry throughout the north cen
tral state shows a shortage in some
lines everywhere. An elTort i h;titr
made to secure transfer among the
states, inasmuch as the deficiency is
not the same in all sections. It is
believed that by this means it will be
possible to relieve much nf tin. H;flr;

yourself, your children and the world to
give that boy or girl the best possible train
ing. In spite of the cost of war in men
and money, college class rooms must be full
next year or the world will suffer loss in
its leadership. It is said our colleges fur
nish eighty per cent of our leaders. The
college men and women of today will be
the leaders of tomorrow. Will your chil
dren be among the number? Secretary of
War Baker, General Leonard Wood, Pres
ident Wilson, Commissioner of Education
Claxton, Robert L. Kelly, Executive Secre
tary of Council of Church Boards of Edu
cation, all unite in saying that the number
of those entering colleges next fall should
be much larger than usual, and that this u
