41 ll TOBER 19 A PRINTING PEACE Printing is a flaming sword helping to win the war. It lllust soon become a dove of peace uniting men to build a new world on the ashes of the old. It must harmonize men, educate, and inspire them. It must pioneer new products and plow new buying habit furrows. It must create jobs and keep factory wheels spinning. It must launch new business ships. It must help men to grow BIGGER in a world grow- ing SMALLER. It must lay foundations of fact and pierce the sky with towers of noble purpose. Printing faces the greatest challenge of history, the biggest opportunity of the ages. The right selection and wide distribution of printed words can be the most dynalnic force in winning the peace. All of us iii the priming and allied trades carry on our shoulders A mighty responsibility. IT IS UP TO Us TO MAKE EVERY PRINTED WORD COUNT Poli ENDURING PEACE AND PEosPEElTY.

George Zook, President of American Council on erans' education and dis- cusses the problems it will create. THE ll ll U L A 'll 0 0F V 'llllil N November 15, 1942, when President Roosevelt signed the bill lowering the age of liability for military service from 20 years of age to 18, he promised that if possible provision would be made after the war for those individuals whose education had been inter- rupted by service in the armed forces. ' The congress responded to this challenge, first by the Rehabilitation Act of March 24, 1943, which placed upon the Administrator of Veterans Affairs the power and duty to prescribe and provide suitable training to personsn disabled while serving in the armed forces. Secondly, and more important, was the educational section of the G. I. Bill of Rights, passed June 22, 1944, which withvcertain exceptions enables any veteran whose education or training was impeded, delayed, interrupted, or interfered with by 'reason of his entrance into the service or who desires a refresher or retraining course, and who has served in the armed forces not less than 90 days, to 'secure further education or training for a period of at least one year at an approved institution. If the individual does satisfactory work he may continue his program for a period equal to the time he was in the service, but not longer than a total of four years. Those who were not over 25 years of age at induction are automatically regarded as eligible for training or education. Others, except those who wish to pursue refresher courses, must show that their education was interrupted Each person eligible for the educational benehts of the act may enroll at any institution in the country which will admit him and which is approved for this purpose by the appropriate state educational authority. While in attendance the veteran receives S50 per month - 3575 per month if married -free tuition and books. The institution in which the student is enrolled receives from the Veterans Administration the customary cost of tuition, laboratory, and other fees and books. In instances where the institution has no established tuition fee or where the tuition fee is found to be inadequate compensation, the Administrator of Veterans Affairs may provide reasonable compensation up to 3500 per student for each academic year. It seems clear that the congress intended that the institutions should receive reasonable com- pensation for this service from the United States Government.
