CARPENTRY SCHOOL
PART IN REHABILITATION WORK Auckland, Aug. 31. “This training school will become part and parcel of the big educational scheme necessary in the work of rehabilitation,” said Mr M. Moohan, chairman of the Rehabilitation Board, at a ceremony during which the Minister of Labour, Mr Webb, opened a school of carpentery in Auckland. “The men who are now serving with the military,” Mr Moohan continued, “will be entitled to all the facilities of the Dominion for the purpose of equipping them to take their part in civil life. This not only applies to training carpenters and other artisans, but equally to men who desire to enter the professions. Arrangements will be made for such men to take up their studies right through the universities. The same facilities will also be provided for farmers at the agricultural colleges, while for disabled soldiers special vocational centres will be provided. “I hope many thousands of returned men will desire to work in the building trades. Houses are urgently required and we muct see that the men who build houses and all other j wage workers are given economic i security.”—P.A.
