At thw outset, extensive hos- pital facilities were necessary. but as the years passed these needs de- clined, un-iil to-day th>e1'e are eiglit hospitals maintained by the ;:ovei'n- ment for the care of vc-t.e1'a.ns, the largest one at Christie Street, To ronto.

To meet this . need, a system of vocational train- ( ing was devised. A total of 52,603 men started on these training \ coures, and 43,357 nished, includ- ing 8,338 youths who had enlisted while under the age of eighteen. There was some criticism of the V0- cational training courses, yet a sur- vey made a short time after com-vi pliation of the scl1eme showed only` 2 .51 per cent. of denite failures,l0 While 63.96 pepr cent. were actual-ii ly employed at the work for which: D they had been trained, and 24.99} e: per cent. were employed othe1'wise.lm `I v. \ (- 1.

Another item, of importance to disabled veterans in St-curing` em- plo_v'ment. is known as the Employ- ers Liability Allowance. Under this plan, the government pays the workmen s eomrpensation assess-m-ents for all veterans receiving pensions of 25 per cent. or more. Since 1922 the governnient has paid out appr0ximart~(=ly $550,000 in compen- ` sation costs for pensioners. '4 Ever since the war ended, and ` particularly during: the depression] years since 1929. the question of 1 unemploym-rnt of disabled veterans 5 with a small plension has been a 5 serious problem. To meet this di`i- 5 culty, the government made provis- ion for veterans assistance, which is, in e`cct, pensioners relief, Various rates of allowances have been made from time to time,` but these have now been stabilized by an arrangement by which pensions fuel and shelter up to the amount allowed to civilians on municipal relief in the communities in which 1` c c I it are augmented by supplyimr: food, 0 n 1 xx m the veterans reside. ln the scal . year ending: March 31, 1936, pen- b sioners relief` cost $2.3(i5.579.-'13. 11 el and since i` was established in 1920 it has meant the DYH. -nrlifnv-ll A` 1. anu smco I" ostablisho the expe- S17.823,39 7.09.

So acceptable did this scheme prove that on Mar. 31, 1036, there were 25,846 policies in force, with an insurance value of $55,570,346.
