Schools and Colleges Serve the Disabled

Abstract

of Representatives, under the chairmanship of Graham A. Barden, of North Carolina, began consideration of an amendment to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of World War I. As originally contemplated, such an amendment was to extend the provisions for rehabilitation training to both veterans and injured war workers. Later, however, it appeared wise to treat each separate legislation. The Committee on Education reported out its bill for vocational training for those injured in war industry and otherwise (Public Law 113, 78th Congress). Responsibility for drafting a bill to provide training for disabled war veterans was assumed by the Committee on World War Veterans' Legislation and it was later enacted by the 78th Congress as Public Law 16.
