Plan Opportunities for Unfit

Plans have been completed by the University Bureau of Vocational Guidance to make an extended survey of occupational opportunities for persons who have been physically handicapped. The proposed study will include the opportunities open in industrial establishments not only for crippled sailors and soldiers but for those who have been disabled by industrial accidents or other ordinary causes. The investigation has the hearty approval of the Massachusetts Industrial Accident Board; and letters have been received from the Surgeon General's Office at Washington and from the Federal Board for Vocational Education commending the undertaking.

In dealing with the industrially disabled, the Bureau will also investigate the most advantageous ways of returning injured employees to their work sooner than would naturally be the case.
