The question of the reeducation reeduca-tion of wounded soldiers was discussed dis-cussed to some extent by the Canadian Cana-dian representatives in view of the fact that the United States is likely to have similar problems in the near future. This problem is now being given considerable attention in the Canadian Ca-nadian schools and especially in the poultry departments, since this provides pro-vides light, out-door work which is what the wounded soldier requires in most cases. On the return trip Prof . Alder stopped off at Davis. California, where he spent most of the time going go-ing over the poultry work done here on the University Farm. |
