NEW TRADES TO BE TAUGHT MEN INJURED IN WAR

Re-education of Crippled Soldiers and Sailors Now Being Planned by U. S. V . ' (By Associated Press) ti NEW YORK. July 6. American soldiers and sailors crippled in the war ;,re to be given every opportunity, in addition to war risk Insurance indemnity and pensions, to learn new trades ; or professions in order that they may presume their place of usefulness in . civil life without the handicaps that ; ordinarily surround a man deprived of arms, legs, sight or hearing. One of the most interesting lnstitutions that has been established here as a result of the war, is the Red Cross "Institute for Crippled and Disabled J Men, at 311 Fourth avenue, where four schools, the nuclei of others that are, X,H is said to be organized in Chicago, ,St Louis and other places, are now under way teaching cripples the man- ; ufaciure of artificial limbs, linotype and monotype operating, mechanical drafting ' and oxy-aceteline welding. These four local schools have a teaching capacity for 300 men. The recent passage by Congress of j the Smith-Sears bill, providing an appropriation of $2,000,000 to be used in the discretion of the Federal Board of ; Vocational Education contemplated, , it is said, the elaboration of the plans which are now being worked out in this city. Soon, it is thought, there Will be additional schools in many -other parts of the United States and 1' other studies and trades will be added to the list. The new law authorizes ithe commandeering of private and public institutions for the re-cduca-i'tion of crippled soldiers and sai'ors, ;: and. when necessary, the building of ;;new schools. t, Four trades were selected for the New York school because they were Sin fields that were not overcrowded. A soldier or sailor, for Instance, instead of having to pay $150 to $200 for I- nn artificial limb mn.y procure one for $30, and if he desires, be taught to make it himself, at the same time cc1 quiring a trado that will pay him $1 "to $8 a day. Frank R. Blgler, a cripple for 31 y, ! years and minus a leg and an arm, is Z, the Industrial agent of the Institute Z which was founded a year ago by ? Jeremiah Milbank with an initial en5 dowment of $50,000 and a building in which to carry on its work. Mr. BigT, ler comes from Kansas City, Mo., his " sen Ices being loaned by an industrial ".corporation there, to instill optimism f. and good cheer into the minds of all . returning war cripples. Experts In Charge. ; Douglas C. McMurtris, director of rthe Institute, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and ln charge of the department of printing at Columbia University, has made a study of the social and economic reconstruction of cripples for more j;than eight years. j! Mr. McMurtris made it clear that while the Institute has no official ar- ;' rangement with the government author orities relative to the utilization of its V facilities in the rehabilitation of war ; cripples, that department being in charge of Surgeon General William C. j," Oorgas, when soldiers and sailors are ; discharged from the army and navy hospitals then the Institute will offer them every chance to "come back." Positions will be found for the men, and, where they are unable to pay ex1 penses while learning their new trade, .funds will eb advanced them as a loan , to enable them to continue their trainfc Ing until competent to take a Job. Z'. The Institute, however, is a national ' activity of the American Red Cross, ..responsible to the War Council through the Director General of MllItary Relief, Jesse H. Jones. It is the ' only non-commercial institution of its : kind in the United States, says Mr. " McMurtris, and its purpose is broadly '.humanitarian, taking in civilian as .well as military cripples. It is not a : charitable institution, but intended to ; be self-supporting. ; "Already the national authorities U.have gone on record," said Mr. McMuri tri. "as accepting without reservation ; j-etponsib.llty for the after-care of ; men injured in the service. The Surgeon-General's office of the War Department is now preparing to provide for wounded men, not only medical ' tmd surgical care, but also the cura- , tlve advance afforded by the simpler V forms of occupation. . The government " is further inaugurating vocational training having as its object rehabiJltatirn for self-support. The govorn- " tiier.t, however, is disposed to make use of, under due supervision, -such v private assistance as may bo offered - end found of value."
