That  if  his  disability  does  prevent  him  from  returning  to  em- 
ployment without  training  and  he  elects  to  follow  a  course  of  voca- 
tional training  provided  by  the  Federal  Board,  the  course  will  be 
furnished  free  of  cost,  and  he  will  also  be  paid  as  long  as  the  train- 
ing lasts  a  monthly  compensation  equal  to  the  sum  to  which  he  is 
entitled  under  the  War-Risk  Insurance  Act  or  a  sum  equal*  to  the 
pay  of  his  last  month  of  active  service,  whichever  is  the  greater,  but 
in  no  case  will  a  single  man  or  a  man  required  by  his  course  of  in- 
struction to  live  apart  from  his  dependents  receive  less  than  S65  per 
month,  exclusive  of  the  sum  paid  dependents ;  nor  will  a  man  living 
with  his  dependent  receive  less  than  S75  per  month,  inclusive  of 
sum  paid  to  dependents. 
That  if  his  disability  does  not  prevent  him  from  returning  to 
employment  without  training  and  he  elects  to  follow  a  course  of 
vocational  training  provided  by  the  Federal  Board,  the  course  will 
be  furnished  free  of  cost  to  him.  and  the  compensation  provided  by 
the  War-Risk  Insurance  Act  will  be  paid  to  him,  but  no  allowance 
will  be  paid  to  his  family. 
That  in  addition  to  the  above  the  family  or  dependents  of  each 
disabled  man  will  receive  from  the  government  during  his  period  of 
training  the  same  monthly  allotment  and  allowance  as  that  paid 
prior  to  his  discharge  from  the  Army  or  the  Navy. 
That  upon  completion  of  his  course  of  training  he  will  continue 
to  receive  the  compensation  prescribed  by  the  War-Risk  Insurance 
Act  so  long  as  his  disability  continues. 
That  in  nearly  every  case,  by  following  the  advice  and  sugges- 
tions of  the  Federal  Board,  he  can  either  get  rid  of  the  handicap 
caused  by  his  disability  or  acquire  new  powers  to  replace  any  that 
may  have  been  lost. 
That  if  he  is  willing  to  learn  and  to  take  advantage  of  the  oppor- 
tunities to  increase  his  skill  offered  him  by  the  Federal  Board  he 
can  usually  get  a  better  position  than  he  had  before  entering  the 
service. 
That  if  he  fails  to  take  advantage  of  these  opportunities  he  will 
find  himself  badly  handicapped  when  he  is  obliged  to  compete  with 
the  able-bodied  men  who  come  back  to  work  after  the  war. 
That  the  Federal  Board,  through  its  vocational  experts,  will 
study  his  particular  disability  and  advise  him  as  to  the  proper  course 
to  pursue  and  give  him  free  training  for  the  occupation  best  suited 
to  him.
