Vocational Training for Blinded Soldiers at Baltimore Hospital
Returning federal soldiers and sailors are being enrolled in vocational instruction and rehabilitation at a renovated hospital in Baltimore. G H Burritt and Miss Jenny A Turner will lead the program with Red Cross support, aiming to train blinded veterans in self supporting trades and place them back in their communities. The effort follows a broader mobilization of labor for war industries and broader library and education programs for soldiers.
