Federal System of Placement Training
for Ex-Service Men All Wrong
Hy COL. C. R. FORBES, Director U. S. Veterans' Bureau
Mr.
From the investigation I have made on the sub
ject of vocational education, as now being conducted
by the government, I am convinced that our present
meiVinrt if Til 11 pfTnpnt f rti i n i n (T lino Kpon (1pm nri at rfl i p(l

who have been given medical attention in hospitals,
. are now being placed in many inKtances in sweatshops
and "mushroom concerns." They are not being given
, the training contemplated by the government, but on
't the other luind are being used as a source of cheap
i.Z, A liilior for flip rmrnotip of pnrninrr nrofiis for the man-
l 1 " O L
tigers of these institutions.
! urlliermorc, the government has furnished these privately managed
training shops with their machinery and equipment. I propose to close
every "mushroom" institution. There are 40 or 50 different types of
these. J figure there are 30,000 veterans of the total 100,000 now receiv
ing vocational training in places of this character. I doubt very much
if five per cent of the entire 6,000 veterans represented as rehabilitated
are actually engaged in the work assigned to them by the government.
They are accepted for certain classes for training in designated institu
tions, and all too frequently are assigned to some other class of work
which will make the proprietor more money for himself.
Jsn't it rotten on the face of it? It is nothing short of slavery to put
men in certain types of these institutions. We want to establish schools
bo the men will be honestly and properly rehabilitated instead of destroy
ing their morale. We are going to give better study to the physical, men
tal and moral side of each man given into our care.
lu addition to these schools there will be employment offices created
for the location of men after they have been thoroughly trained, and there
will be a follow-up system so that when a trainee after leaving the govern
ment schools shows a special aptitude in his work he can be given spe
cialized assistance. Graduates of the national schools will be given cer
tificates as journeymen under a guarantee of the government.
A Heppner man received notice
. from the "attorneys for the plaintiff
the other day that they had been giv
' en a judgment against him for $2,-
48 5 and wanted to know what they
should do with it. "Cash it" was
the word sent back by the defendant
i "and let some of the poor people of
the town use the money." We rise to
remart that the defendant was a
sure enough optimist.
A Minnesota man went into an
automobile smashup the other day
and both of his legs had to be ampu
tated just above the ankle. After he
had "come to life" following the ef
fects of the anesthetic, he said: "Say
I sure have something to be thank
ful for what if I had been going the
other way."
This is the week we keep wonder
ing who to pity the more the foot
ball players or the turkeys that have
had no better sense than to eat all
the feJd in sight. Death for one and
derailment for the other.
Our invitation to the disarmament
parley must have been miscarried a:
up to yet we have not received it.
May not have made any particular
change though.
! There is a rumor afloat that con
gress will attempt to pass a bill mak
ing it necessary for bootleggers to
I comply with the purefood laws. But
the undertakers are fighting the
j passage of the bill, says the rumor.
I Some big men want a little job
while there are a lot or little men
who aren't satisfied unless they have
a position that is bigger than they
are.
Education is compusory here in
the United States but after taking
a walk around the block for a couple
of times one comes to the conclusion
that there is something to that o'
saying: "You can drive a hors to
water but you can't make it drink."
Prohibition is compulsory too ir
some places.
Santa Claus is going to sneak
on a lot of merchants throughout
the country who have been waiting
for 'business to pick up."
You can at least depend upon the
radical man as being honest in his
convictions. He also has a way o
telling things which shows him to
be a radical.
The man who does not smile when
it is time to smile has something on
his mind that should be separated
from it and a cream separator
won't do the work.
A lot of men are going to prove
they have something to be thankful
for by getting all lit up like the
great white way, while the wife sits
at home and wonders why Thanks
giving day is being observed all over
the country.
The dollar that does the business
today isn't the one where the signa
ture aprears on the bottom line,
while at the top may be found: "One
year after date I promise to pay."
