To emphasize this fact and to educate Hi* people of the United States that the physically handicapped not only want to take their places among the productive ranks of citizens but are recognized as a really useful class of workers. There are, without doubt, many Jobs a physically handicapped person can do as well, and sometimes ......... . than normal people Particularly is this so when the handicapped avail themselves of the «pedal vocational rehabilitation«! and training provided by governmental agencies.

Of this figure, about 2,500 are disabled to the extent that vocational rehabilitation is required. In addition to veterans, the state records more than ",000 handi capped civilians who are likewise eligible for rehabilitation. I be average yearly earnings of those rehabilitated, in this state, in creased from $370 before training to $2.110 afterwords.
