Re-education Is Termed Solution “to Problem of : Unemployment. United Press LOS ANGELES, July 21.—The reeducation of large numbers of white collar ‘workers into skilled or semiskilled workers constitutes the only . solution of one of the vital problems

of 4 ‘the national Unemployment situaHerbert C. Legg,

~ tion, according to . chairman of the Los Angeles County

Board of Supervisors. ‘Since the beginning of . the depression, Los Angeles has been - obliged to handle a greater number of destitute workers than any other city in the United States, with the exception of New York City. Here, 88 elsewhere, it has developed that : the hardest phase of the problem to solve is that of the white collar workers, In the plan which Legg is now sponsoring, he advocates that large numbers of those who come in the ‘so-called pliable occupation group, between ages of 21 and 45, be given the necessary training to get them out of the white-collared class into specified groups of skilled or semiskilled workers. It is much easier, economic authorities have found, to find employment for the latter than in strictly white collar jobs.

Solution Not in Relief

‘Legg deciares that the payment of a dole or even employment on work relief projects does nothing toward a permanent solution for white collar workers who are out of a job. Besides endeavoring i solve the problem by re-education of the white collar workers now idle, he insists the future should be safeguarded by a closer co-operation between schools, industry and labor. Legg declares industry especially should keep the schools informed as to the trends of labor demands and that 'in turn instructors should endeavor to influence students into ~ those lines of vocational training _ ‘where they are most likely to find Jobs. : Out of Realm of Theory

“In vocational education, we are confronting a condition and not a theory,” Legg insists. “It is a matter of urgent need and not intellectual attainment, “Society in the final, analysis benefits by technological changes and so it should be willing to acsept the consequent burden of unemployment. “Not only is the dispossessed

education, but the type of training should meet the requirements of changing industrial conditions. Such a procedure is necessary if our economic system is to be maintained with any degree of stability,” is Legg's final conclusion.
