J. A. Starkweather in City
Today. Explains How Gov
4 en^ngnt Extends Aid.
,f J. A. Starkweather, special voca
tional 'officer of the federal bourn
for vocational .education of the di
vision of rehabilitation, arrived here
fhifc morning to confer with the dis
abled returned soldiers of this city.
According to the statistics of the lo
cal home service bureau, there are
seven disabled soldiers in the ctty
now. This bureau has
co-operated
with' the vocational board in securing
the interviews with Mr. Starkweath
er, and the objects of these inter
views is to find out through personal
observation and intimate talks with
the boys the exact work the soldier
is fit for and then give him a chance,
if he wishes to take it, of getting an
education in the line he is capable
Of following. The government is do
ing this for the disabled soldier tree
of cost to him, and all he is asked to
do is to co-operate with the board by
applying himself and thereby being
fitted for a place in the business
^orld which he could not fill other-
Wise.
In speaking of the work of the vo
cational education board Mr. StarK
weather mentions the benefits which
It is hoped will be derived through
the efforts of this board. One of the
Services which this board has in view
is teaching the boys the use of the
artificial limbs which the govern
ment has been able. to supply them
with, and" which are of such won
derful mechanism that their methods
of use are almost unlimited. These
Jlmbs are given to soldiers by the
government, and are kept in repair,
pew ones being given whenever it is
necessary.
Mr. Starkweather says that it has
been a common idea among the boys
Who have returned home disabled,
and the people in general, that these
hoys are helpless, but the government
nas proved that this is not the case
and that almost no occupation exists
which the soldier cannot be taught
to do with the use of the artificial
limbs, if they are of mental ability.
It is surprising to learn the number
Of occupations which have been
taught ^persons with artificial hands
and.arms. Expert machinists- can be
made out of these men so disabled,
and the government has been able to
demonstrate this. One man working
with the federal board with an arti
ficial leg has gone into a piano fac
tory and successfully performed the
operation of making a piano.
Government Follows Career.
The government receives monthly
reports, as^to their progress, and if
the solclier does not apply himself or
it is found out that he is not adapted
to that particular line of study he is
taken, out and reinterviewed and
again placed. Everything is done
for tne young man to help him, and
all ha is called upon to do is to show
willingness. The course of study ex
tends over a perior of four years, but
tht government maintains active in
terest in the student for five years.
•Mr. Starkweather tells of classi
fying the men according to their
ability that is, if a man is of an
»artistic ability he is taught, for in
stance, showcard writing, advertis
ing, window display, and if he has a
.little mechanical training he- can
learn jewelry making, art work, pot
tery making, etc.—in fact, there are
no limitations. If the man has busi
ness qualifications he is given a mer
cantile training in order to become a
bookkeeper, stenographer, salesman,
or other lines that would follow from
that and if he has a mechanical
trend of mind he is taught battery
work, ignition, and made an expert
machinist. If a man is of a patient
and painstaking disposition he Js
given machinist work, and if he is
restless and active but fond of ma
chinery he is taught steam fitting
and other lighter work pertaining 10

weather says that there are very few
aes of blindness, the number in
Canada, being amazingly small, etnd
in this district of four northwestern
states there are only ten cases. He
also explains the urgent necessity of
the disabled boys to keep up their
insurance,- as five years after the
president has declared the war is
over these policies that the boys hold
can be converted into some "old
line" insurance, and it. is estimated
that they can be purchased or .trans
ferred at a reduction of about 20 per
cent. The soldiers who are disabled
can not take out any insurance, but
holding these policies gives them a
chance, even though disabled, to get
into an "old-line" insurance.
The boys who have been disabled
and returned are entitled to dispen
sation. This is a separate insurance
from the one paid through the war
risk insurance bureau and has noth
ing to do with {his, as many people
believe. The dispensation entitles
the boys to $30 per month.
Mr.: Starkweather emphasizes the
fact that the boys who are given tnls
opportunity of education are given
it free, and every disabled -soldier is
entitled to it. After the boy has
been educated he is placed, and to
the present time Mr. Starkweather
has found a very grateful attitude
among the boys. He will be in this
city until Saturday, after which he
will proceed on his route, which in
cludes all of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, and 'Montana.

Chamberlain was another feature of
of some of her personal .experiences
and observations at the opening of
the war, was thoroughly enjoyable
and held the close attention of the
audience every minute of the time.
The subject of Miss Hayes' address
was "Some Immediate Yesterdays of
Our Wartime Cities.'
Wounded meiV in the hospitals
which she visited wished to hear her
tell of her exciting experiences in
London at the time of the Zeppelin
raids rather than hear her real or
entertain them in some other way.
Miss Hayes said: "The more horrible
things I could tell them, the more
they seemed to enjoy hearing me
talk."
Miss Hayes' told of the way in
which the soldiers would eat: "I
have positively known those boys to
go over to a Y. W. C. A. hostess
house right after a satisfying dinner
at the mess hall, and buy as many
as eight desserts," she said "and
when one asked them why, they said:
'Well, there would be some day when
they couldn't do it.'
Modern poetry was not appreciated
by the men half as much- as the old
poems that everyone knows, Miss
Hayes said. "The only two war poems
that I -found I could delight them
with were 'Horatius at the Bridge'
and Tennyson's 'revenge.'
Miss Hayes' dramatic descriptions
of the divisions of men leaving for

as well.

.Bismarck. N. D., Jan. 9.—The su
preme- court this afternoon heard ar
guments on Minnie J. Nielson's peti
tion for writ-of mandamus compelling
N. C. Macdonald to give her posses
sion of the office of superintendent of
public instruction. Attorney Hyland
of Bismarck, appearing for the re
spondent, declared that Miss Nielson
was not qualified to hold office and
that, therefore, she had asked the
wrong court for relief on the wrong
writ. He argued that quo warranto
proceedings should have been started.
Hyland declared the only certificate
Miss Nielson possessed was issued in
1902 and that even in the old statutes
it was not sufficient for her to liead
the office- of superintendent of public
instruction. He declared that it was
necessary for petitioner to show that
she is entitled to hold' office where
upon Chief Justice Chrlstlanson want

law." Assistant Attorney General Cox
