Excerpt from Provision for Vocational Re-Education of Disabled Soldiers in FranceEducation made an examination of the trade schools to ascertain in what measure they could be utilized for re-education. The result of this examination was a report, dated June 3, 1915, to the Minister of Commerce, suggesting a plan and program for the work.' The report stated that not all the schools of technical education could be utilized, inasmuch as some had no capacity for additional pupils, or taught trades not suit able to disabled men, or could not undertake the placement of any more apprentices in their trades. It was found, however, that a large number of schools could give instruction to mutilés. In some schools it would be possible to receive men into the same classes as the regular pupils. In others special sections for disabled men could be formed. In these last cases the aid of the municipality or of the trade union was sometimes, but not always, necessary to cover the expense of the additional instruction and equipment. The directors of a few schools undertook to organize separate schools for the mutilés under the control of the Minister of Commerce and to make them new centers of special technical instruction.Ten months afterwards this program was largely realized.ls In national schools of art and crafts, national trade schools, and practical busi ness and industrial schools, courses were ar ranged to teach disabled men how to be self supporting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
