摘要:

The author of “A Guide to Civilized Loafing” points out that there is also such a thing as civilized working. Civilized living calls for enjoyment and satisfaction in the vocational lives of individuals. The antithesis between the activities commonly regarded as play and the activities commonly called work is too sharply drawn. Work should have more of the quality of play, less of the element of mere drudgery. Contrasting attitudes are shown in the hymn that adjures us to “work for the night is coming” and the poem in which Kipling describes the heaven of the happy artists where “each for the joy of the working” paints away at his own sweet will. The happy medium must be found. The fact that work is a prime requisite for happiness places an obligation on society—that of making work an acceptable way of life. “We hall not achieve even a fair degree of civilization until, by and large, the work we do is beloved work. In that blessed day, work and play will be but the rhythmic alternations within a life of absorbed and purpo

摘要:

One of the outstanding addresses at the annual meeting of the American Vocational Association in Pittsburgh last December was that of Professor Kilpatrick of Teachers College, Columbia University. This was given before the Vocational Guidance Section under the title, “The Relations Between General Education and Vocational Education.” Vocational guidance and education must not only take account of the fact that society is in process of change, it must also consider the kind of society we ought to have—and help to make it. The following is an authorized report of Dr. Kilpatrick's

摘要:

Some of us remember when Edward Bellamy'sLooking Backwardwas regarded as dangerously socialistic, though it has long since become respectable—indeed, a classic. In spite of which, it is a book well worth re‐reading. By an ingenious device the young writer in 1887 got himself transferred to the world of the year 2000. Within a framework of fiction he described in considerable detail the national economic organization which he found there. From Plato to H. G. Wells, every writer of Utopias has tackled the problem of occupational distribution, though he may not have called it by that name. It is surprising how much ofLooking Backwardis concerned, directly or indirectly, with the varied phases of vocational adjustment and occupational distribution. We present here, by permission of and arrangement with Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers, an excerpt from one chapter in which these questions are discussed by the young hero and Dr. Leete, his erudite host in that strange new world. It is a conversation that suggests the inquiry, how far have we gone, in 1934, toward Bellamy'sfin de siècleUt

摘要:

The wide variations of usage with regard to such terms as “skilled” and “semi‐skilled,” “operatives” and “mechanics,” lead to a great deal of confusion and not a little practical difficulty. They likewise spring from confusion. At the University of Minnesota a study has been made for the purpose of formulating standard definitions of these and other terms on the basis of functional differences among the several classes of workers. By which is meant, as Dr. Fryklund says in this report, that “one needs to know what the worker does, how he does it, and the conditions under which he does it in order to pass judgment as to his status.” After considering the various and inconsistent ways in which some of the classificatory terms are now used, he proceeds to define very carefully the ways in which they should be used in order to conform with actual conditions in industry. The study marks a long step forward in a desirable direction, and it has the special merit that the proposed standard definitions are not mere preferences but have been developed

摘要:

Here is the second of a series of articles on how to start a guidance program. The first, by Robert Hoppock, appeared in the January issue ofOccupations, the Vocational Guidance Magazine.In projecting the series it was assumed that there is more than one way of starting a guidance program. Dr. Kitson's article shows that there is more than one way of approaching the original question. He asks another question: “What is guidance?” The answer is: “Individualized education.” In the course of his talk with a hypothetical but not mythical school superintendent who wants to install guidance, Dr. Kitson suggests that the vague term “guidance” ought to be abandoned except when used in conjunction with the adjective “vocational”—in which case it is no longer vague. He concludes with practical suggestions for installing, in a small school system, not “guidance” but “in

摘要:

This is the story of how a city of 6000 population furnishes vocational guidance to its high school students by the tryout method. The city's businesses and industries furnish the workshop and laboratory of this enterprise. Thus there is little cost to the schools, although the undertaking is a definite part of the educational and guidance program of the school system. Other communities, handicapped by lack of funds for guidance work yet desirous of doing something effective along this line, may find stimulation and suggestion in the plan that has proved so successful in Lewistown. The author of the following report tells what Lewistown has learned by doing. It has given the tryout plan a tryout and apparently has decided to keep on with it—for reasons that are here presente

摘要:

Looking over the files of this magazine, and going back to the time when it wasThe Vocational Guidance Magazine, we find in the issue for May, 1930, an article entitled, “How Speakers Should Prepare for a Convention.” It will be noted that the article was published fust after the NVGA convention held at Atlantic City in 1930. Five years pass, and again the stage is set for a gathering at Atlantic City—with a program of addresses, speeches, papers, talks, and what not. Will history repeat itself? Meanwhile the magazine

摘要:

Panel discussion has arrived. It often leaves something to be desired. It is worth improving. In the October, 1934, issue ofThe Trained Nurse and Hospital Review, Professor Overstreet had something to say about it. By permission of the Editors we are reprinting his article in abbreviated form.
