摘要:

You cannot appeal to the undergraduate by “vague and prosaic generalities,” nor by wearisome details on “qualifications,” “preparation,” or “variety of personal functions.” The student is seeking a career, and a career is something “dynamic and personal.” And as such it must be presented to him. Biographies, suggests Mr. Moyer, are better sources of occupational information for the man on the college level than is the academic concept of a career portrayed in the ordinary vocational guidebook. But a method of even more direct transmission of personal experience is found in the diary. Mr. Moyer discusses a counseling and follow‐up procedure in operation at Harvard which incorporates this form and which certainly accomplishes its purpose of injecting reality into vocational information. There is nothing “stereotyped,” or “inadequate,” or “devitalized,” about the occupational information which is being m

摘要:

In 1890 there were about 122,000 college students in the United States. Today there are 750,000, or, if you include the professional schools of the universities, 1,000,000. One student in college to every 160 persons in the country—does that mean academic overpopulation or doesn't it? In answering this question, the Executive Secretary of the Association of American Colleges is led to consider the variety among colleges and their not exactly impetuous adaptation to individual differences among students. There must be more well qualified students, Dr. Kelly concludes—and a better adjustment of college progr

摘要:

These are not inviting times for persons graduating from college and looking for a place in the world, but graduates of courses in journalism have apparently fared better than others. And among these graduates, those from small institutions and medium‐sized classes have been especially successful in finding employment. Such are some of the results of the first study of its kin

摘要:

“Carrying the war into Africa” was not spoken regarding guidance, but it well might be. For South African boys and girls are instructed concerning occupations not only while they are in school but also after they have gone out into the world. This unusual care is exercised primarily by the Juvenile Affairs Boards, with the active cooperation of the principals. But how much personal attention can a principal give to a thousand or several thousand students? Here again South Africa is wiser than—some other places. In South Africa there are seldom more than 600 pupils in a school, and most schools have less than half that n

摘要:

Although vocational guidance has not been formally introduced into the school system of Turkey, it is giving signs of its existence. All freshmen at International College, an American institution,1are required to take an orientation course which considers vocational problems. The college is also building up a permanent file of its alumni, including their vocational records. As Turkey is giving definite attention to her vocational needs, guidance should find an increasingly friendly atmosphere within her boundaries.

摘要:

It is 15 years since the term “vocational guidance” made its appearance in China. This it did in the monthly journal of the National Association of Vocational Education of China, whose activities have resulted in the establishment of guidance bureaus in several cities. Many high schools have some form of vocational guidance, but, while one or two colleges have experimented with it, no college in China has a well‐organized guidance program. The foundation, however, has been laid, and the Vocational Education Association is continuing the work to which it has given a good

摘要:

A new profession resulting from a new‐old language—this is the novel prospect held up to us. The new‐old language is Basic English, which, consisting of 850 words, is declared to be sufficient for ordinary use. And, as the annual increase in the number of persons speaking English is more by 1,000,000 than the number of the supporters of all the so‐called “international” languages put together, there would seem to be a good case for Basic English as the long sought world tongue. The new profession to result from its triumph is that of teachers, translators, and the like who will be called upon to render everything into Basic, from the Iliad to the latest “movie” caption. In this article the author of The System of Basic English tells all about it—and does so without using any word which is not am

摘要:

Volume XIII ofOccupationsopened last month with an article by Harold G. Campbell, Superintendent of New York City Schools. An article appeared in May from the pen of Carroll R. Reed, Superintendent of Schools in Minneapolis. In this issue we have the satisfaction of presenting the School Superintendent of Atlanta. These pleasant relations with Superintendents seem likely to continue, as we have promises of contributions from Edwin A. Lee of San Francisco, who wrote for our June, 1933, number, William J. Bogan of Chicago, Ben C. Graham of Pittsburgh, and Edward D. Roberts of Cincinnati. And there will be others.

摘要:

The various types of evaluative studies of guidance which have been published were classified and discussed by Grayson N. Kefauver and Harold C. Hand in an article, “Evaluation of Guidance Programs,” in the March issue ofOccupations.A paper on “Proposals for a Program of Evaluation of Guidance,” presented by Professor Kefauver at the meeting of the National Vocational Guidance Association at Cleveland in February, giving further details of the threefold investigation referred to in the opening paragraph of the present article, and setting forth the need and the difficulty of such evaluation, appears in the September number ofThe School Review.Evaluation of anything is impossible without a definite determination of the purpose or purposes of the thing to be evaluated. In the subjoined article are listed 15 objectives which have been accepted for the investigation now un
