The Rehabilitation Group, in addition to acting as an information center supplying data relative to educational and vocational training facilities offered by our State and Federal governments, has undertaken to fill a long-felt want at the Foundation.

In an effort to brighten the eye and gladden the heart of the blasé and super-bored patients (not all of them qualify for this description), the Group is offering a variety of short courses of ten to twelve weeks duration, in the hope that some one or two will prove practical and possible.

The instructors are qualified and the costs are low. Considerable interest has been evidenced and it is hoped that they will continue and be enlarged upon as a permanent feature of the Foundation.

The courses and the names of the instructors offered are as follows:

1. Photography.................Mr. Sterling Haver

2. Handicraft, Leather and Metal...Miss Jeanette Neal

3. Touch Typing.. ............... .Miss Dorothy Oliver

4. Nature Studies................ .Mr. Robert Wallace

5. Marionettes and Puppets.........Miss Jeanette Neal

6. Art Appreciation. ..............Miss Lorraine Levey

7. Writing for Profit. ......... .Prof. George M. Sparks

Costs average approximately $10.00 for each of the above courses. If sufficient response is made, it is possible that a reduction may be effected.

As the CHRONICLE goes to press, the "Writing for Profit" course is reported an undoubted success. The touch-typing course, the only other one launched, is not receiving the support it should. The remarks of the editor in his "Polio Courage" seem to explain this lack of support.
