Bienvenu, President Cashieir - Asst. Cashier THEY WANT A CHANCE, NOT CHARITY; HELP UNCLE SAM GIVE THEM A START I , ."' . . Two crippled soldiers being taught telegraphy in one of the reconstruction hospitals maintained by the government. "We don't want charity; give as a chance!" From every reconstruction hospital in the country comes this Insistent plea from thousands of wounded sol diers. Although shattered in body, the spirit that sustained them at Chateau Thierry, Argonne and Metz remains unbroken. They do not want something for nothing; they are willing to work for all they get. The Government has inaugurated re construction in: itutions at various points throughout the country where the blind, the armless and legless are taught useful trades and professions. While the soldier and sailor is un dergoing vocational training, he is sap ported by the Government. Should he have dependents, they also receive aid. Five possible steps follow a wound ed soldier's decision to take the ye cational training course. They are: decision by the disabled man as to his course of training; the training it self, which is to fit him for a'defnite occupation; trial employment in that occupation; placement after trial in a deflnite job, and fellow-up work to safeguard his interests. Within the next few months it is expected that several thousand dis abled soldiers will have sufliciently recovered from their wounds to take the Government's vocational training course. Industrial schools and colleges throughout the country are being util ized so that most of the men are being trained close to their homes. Thirty-one per cent of the total now it training are taking commercial I"- WE DO: ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING eourses; seventeen per cent are leara tlg the various phases of agriculture, farm management, peultry raising and stock breeding. Others are studying law, medicine, banking, and'some are being trained in engineering, telegrs" phy. tailoring, window trtmming and designing, accounting, store manage meat, machine shop pmctice, meet lh speetton, traffic management, and se on. It is not merely the men who have lest their arms or legs, or who have been blinded, that the Government is retraining and restoring to self-sup. porting activity. Aid is offered to ev ery man who is entitled to Government compensation. Thousands of men soe fering from tuberculosis, bronchitis, heart and nervous diseases, may be unable to re-enter their former ocon potions. What better assurance to the sol diers could be given than that attbred by President Wilson when he said: "The Nation has no mere solemn ob ligation than healing the hurts of our wounded and restoring our disabled men to civil 11fe and opportunity. The Government recognizes this, and the fulfillment is going forward fully and generously. "IT IS NOT A CHARITY! "It is merely the paymeloof a draft of honor which the United! States of America accepted when it selected these men, and took them in their health and strength to fight the bat tles of the nation. They have fought the good fight, they have kept the faith and they have won. Now we keep faith with them, and every citizen is endorser eo the general obligation."
