WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 The work
of fitting war disabled men so (hat de
spite their injuries they are able to
become skilled, eficient wage iarners
is held by the United States govern
ment to be strictly a governmental act
of justice towards its disabled defend
ers, and in order to be stfre that t'tcy
get the best attention the world car
afford, the government is seeing after
them 'itself.
A good many ''institutes" and oth
er concerns for ''crippled anil dis
abled soldiers'' and the like have
sprung up and have been vigorously
press-agented over the country, but
they actually have nothing whatever
to do with this work. The gbvr-rnment
desires it understood, that it is not ii
private charity or philanthropy, nor is
it in any sense a charity for disabled
men to tr.ke this (raining. The gov
ernment's . position is thnt it ik no
more than justice to them to restore
them insofar us is humanly possibV to
the position of independence' from
.which they were called to serve then
nation, tind in which service they have
suffered impairments, and for this )v
has appropriated large sums and fur
nished adequate machinery to do.
This work is solely in charge of the
feedrnl board for vocational education
at'Wnshingtori, designated ly congress
for the task, and the'boiird is more
ftian pleased to receive, inquiries fron
those who are disnbled, whether by I
